The third generation iPod Nano, like all iPods, employ a backlight to illuminate the LCD display. Replacing a defective backlight requires a partial disassembly of the Nano. It should be noted that this procedure voids the Apple warranty. The procedure is straightforward and can save you the cost and time lost from taking it into a service center. An iPod opening tool and a replacement backlight can both be purchased from an electronics supply store.
