How do I replace the display in my iPod, iPod mini, iPod nano, or iPod touch?
If you are certain that the display in your iPod is broken -- if it is visibly cracked, for instance -- Apple can replace a damaged display in the iPod models for a price that generally is not cost-effective.

iFixit provides instructions that can be used to replace the display in just about all of the iPod models. For the iPod 5G/video, PDAParts/DirectFix provides a helpful video:
From watching the video, you should be able to determine whether or not you would prefer to replace the display yourself or hire a professional.
