you use two fingers to rotate it 90 degrees on any screen

are you sure that you did not solder the battery upside down? when the ribbon cable connections are reversed, i have noticed similar problems.

For iPhone 4 (GSM), I took these pics for you. Hope they help. http://img43.imageshack.us/img43/7837/im... http://img560.imageshack.us/img560/527/i... http://img684.imageshack.us/img684/4416/... http://img32.imageshack.us/img32/2228/im...

Diid you try to clean the logic board with isopropyl alcohol (90% or higher?) If not I would try to clean the connector areas and see if that allows the LCD to function. If it does not I would try cleaning the whole board and see if that fixes the issue.

A new screen will run you less than a third of what you yourself quoted. It sounds evident that you damaged the screen and digitizer cables. If there is no damage to these connectors on the logic board, I would go ahead and buy a new one and hope for the best.

Andrew, I think you may be better off buying a new iPod (or used) than replacing the logic board. Could you post a picture of the damage?

Try cleaning the LCD socket on the logic board with distilled water and isopropyl alcohol. In my experience, no backlight was solved by carefully cleaning debris and corrosion.

I would open it and clean the logic board of corrosion with distilled water and isopropyl alcohol (91+%). Be careful when trying to detach the LCD and digitizer cables -- I would suggest to soak them without detaching them because they may have become weak and brittle from corrosion.

If you get a new speaker, you need to follow the teardown guide, remove the motherboard and solder on the two wires to the motherboard.
