How do I fix rainbow lines on the screen?

I dropped my ipod on the floor, and the screen had colored/rainbow lines on the right side of my screen. The touch screen still works perfectly fine, but I can not see what is on the right half of my screen(Picture of the broken screen below). Please respond soon if there is anything I could do to fix it.User uploaded file

Try:

- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost

Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at

least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

- Restore from backup. See:

iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes

- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar

Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $199 for 64 GB 4G and $99 for the other 4Gs. They do not fix yours.

A third-party place like the following maybe less. Google for more.

Fix it yourself if you are up to it
