Ipod calls it quits!

About a month ago I went on a youth trip and took my ipod with me. I put it in my backpack and to much weight was left on it for an extended amount of time. So I was left with a big black spot in the middle of my screen. This was very bothersome but I could still see the songs and make my way around my ipod. A few days ago the black spot took over the screen. Now I can't see anything. So now I am faced of sending it back and it probably not getting it fixed or buying a new one. This sucks!
