Want to Check Power/Volume Buttons With No LCD
Hi I am doing a screen repair on my ipod. I pulled all the stuff I need out. I know a common problem that happens when you pull the back cover off the logic board is the volume and power button cables get ripped and things stop working. Now at this point I have no LCD to see anything on the display. I was wondering if there is anything that I can do to check to see if the button are still working even though I don't have a LCD. Can I control stuff from the computer? It's hooked into the computer right now. Sill waiting on the LCD it's coming from China I want to test sooner than later.
Oh one other question. The copper shied on the back of the camera on the top right corner of the ipod. I saw a video where a guy just ripped it like it was nothing. I heard this little shield is for like wifi or something. Well I followed the dudes video and tore the !@#$ thing. I still haven't assembled my ipod due to waiting for my LCD to come in from China. Do I have to repair this thing is it necessary to have the little shield? And if I should have to repair it any ideas what with?
