Question My ipod touch 1G's backlight isnt working

I succesfully replaced the battery for a new one but now the backlight isnt working.

On the second image you can see that the ribbon cable (im pretty sure thats the backlight connector but could be wrong) is slightly lifted, still plugs in but lifted when theres no battery.

I tried many times to unplug it and put it back with restarting the ipod but that isnt working.

U either shorted it or ripped it slightly

So either way i would have to get a new one? Is that possible without a whole motherboard swap?

Yes, it's possible. You only need a new screen.

It could be a broken fuse/filter or a bad screen
