Fixed it!
Posted 15 January 2012 in ipod, life, and screenAfter spending some time researching what I needed and where I could buy things from, I settled on a replacement iPod screen and a classy electronics toolkit from iFixit. They emailed a few hours later to let me know that the products had been shipped, and two days later everything arrived.
Thanks to their handy guide, I had the screen replaced in short order. You can see the results for yourself!
