E61Silver is an unknown quantity at this point
It seems like Apple wants the first generation products to fail.

My first Ipod died and I went and got a second one with a protection plan.
The second one seems to be built better and has not failed.

I ended up bringing it to a place and had them replace the screen and digitizer. It cost me $130 but I calculated,

Cost of digitizer and glass from reputable company: $50
Tools needed to do the work, $10
Glue stick needed for screen, $8

Shipping, $8-$10

Then there is the risk of taking it apart myself, removing the glass from the digitizer, from the LCD.. I said screw it.. It's probably just quicker and cheaper to have someone who knows what their doing, fix it.

He said that the screen was "cracked". That means it was caused by accidental damage most likely.
