    If it's a 3rd /4th gen, they are a trick enough DIY repair but very possible if you are handy. The replacement screen / LCD are bonded and both need to be replaced as one unit. Plenty of instructionals on YouTube. Did one myself for the daughter. The parts were about 15-20€ from eBay IIRC.

    It was, yes. Maybe 1hrs work. Then she dropped the feckin thing again about 2 mths later. Cracked this time as opposed to smashed. Funny really, she hasn't once brought it up as an issue this time:rolleyes:

    ( and if she does, she can bloody whistle for it........ )
