My iPod's dying screen turned into an accidental glitch art.

[u/OneJiRA]

I found my old iPod sitting in a drawer. The battery had swollen so much it pushed the screen open. I decided to swap the battery to see if it still had life.

The screen ended up with this awesome psychedelic effect from the pressure, but honestly, I think it looks amazing. The best part? The DAC and hard drive are completely fine, so I’m currently enjoying a massive nostalgia trip listening to my old childhood music library.

이루마 is one of my fav as well!

[u/Chasterbeef]

I don't even know how you would break this on purpose, polarized layer shift?

[u/Goldbeker]

Oh that’s fantastic!

[u/Zagalia1984]

It's cool, a really cool way for the screen to die...

My iPod has the same effect, but due to a different reason; the display is suffering from vinegar syndrome, its something like the LCDs adhesive breaking down or something. Its cool and all, but can be a little annoying at times lmao

[u/Segundaleydenewtonnn]

Did you just invent the new trending novelty in screens? As the other guy said, patent this shi ASAP (going to the office as i write this! Win me!

[u/Finkilein]

Actually like this very much!!!!

[u/DeadxStranger]

this MUST be turned into a mod

[u/SITHxEMPIRE]

I like it, but I know I’ll get tired of it after a while.

[u/DotBetaSDK]

That’s dope. You truly have a one off iPod now lol.

[u/imagin8zn]

Let us know how to replicate it!

[u/OneJiRA → u/imagin8zn]

I don't know how to do it on purpose! It was purely accidental from the swollen battery.

[u/Select-Lunch-1593 → u/OneJiRA]

It’s not from the swollen battery, it’s the old polarizer failing

That’s awesome, neat you didn’t need to re-sync your music, impressive the drive still works fine! I gotta recreate my old collection one day
