iPod Touch 4th Gen. Backlight Won't Work

I have an iPod 4th generation, it worked perfectly fine up until I decided I wanted to sell it since I have an iPhone 6. But anyways I went to completely restore it and once it got done restoring the back light wasn't working. It'll occasionally work for like a minute if I plug it into a charger or my computer but then it'll shut back off. Is there an easy solution to fixing this without sending it into apple for them to fix it?

iPod touch (4th generation), iOS 6.1.6

I would try restoring it again.

It may be a loose connection but Apple only excahnges iPod, they do not fix yours

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

Apple - iPod Repair price

A third-party place like the following maybe less, especially if only a loose conection. Google for more.

iPhone Repair, Service & Parts: iPod Touch, iPad, MacBook Pro Screens

Try fixing it yourself if you are up to it
