Screen cracked on my iPod... Half of it is blacked out when the backlight is on (but with the backlight off I can see most of it). How much approx should I expect to pay to replace the screen? Is it even worth it?

I doubt it's worth replacing. I'd buy another one.

From what I've seen it would cost around $79.99 to replace an iPod Video screen and $54.99 for a Nano screen. They do the repair.

Note: there are other companies that do the same thing and maybe they are cheaper (or not). The one above is just an example of what you can expect to pay.

RapidRepair offers the LCD replacement for 89.99, but we might be able to match the price from iKaput.com (the one that was quoted above). It is also covered with a 90 day warranty. We can throw in a Xtended Life battery for 20 bucks also.

I wish you the best in your issue.

Do it yourself for $20. With a little patience and steady hands, it's not that difficult to do.
Sell or send me your vintage Mac things if you don't want them.
