Ipod nano screen is white but music still plays

I have a second generation nano and a couple of months ago I was in my car and turned on my iPod and it powered on but the screen was white. It still played music but I couldn't see what I was playing. Any ideas on how I might be able to fix this???

Please describe in detail all you have attempted to do in order to resolve the issue. Don't want to repeat any solutions you may have already tried. For example, have you tried restoring or restting?

Try resetting your iPod:
Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

IPod Nano is lagging, and no music is playing. Headphones work. Half battery. ***, mate?

I went to use my iPod Nano this morning and it won't play music. My headphones work, and it still makes the sound when I shuffle it. It also appears to be significantly lagging by 2-3 seconds. I have a half battery. What's going on?

If none of the 5 R's of troubleshooting are able to solve the problem, the issue is hardware related, meaning you'll need to have the iPod serviced or replaced. The LCD screen may have simply burned out or wore out over time.

It wouldn't also hurt to the let iPod's battery full drain. Then charge the iPod back up and go through the 5 R's again.

Blank, white screen but music still playing! Help!!!!!!!!

I've had my iPod Video (30G) for about 5 months. For some reason, today when I switched it on, the screen lighted up but it was completely white and blank. I clicked some random buttons and music started playing. I waited for the battery to run out, and then recharged it on my PC for a while. When I switched it on, the screen was still blank but music could still be played! I tried resetting it by holding MENU and SELECT but it's still broken.
HELP!

Maybe try restoring your ipod. Plug in your ipod, go to the updater through the start menu, and then, once it has recognized your computer, click on the restore button.
Caution: this will remove all songs from your iPod, requiring you to re-sync your iPod with your computer.
hope this helps..

My iPod touch screen is white but resetting it doesn't work. What do I do?

I turned on my iPod touch and the screen was white with blue pixelations. I tried holding the home button and power button simultaneously for 10 seconds to reset it but it just went black and then restarted with a white screen again. I don't know if it's something I can fix by restoring it on iTunes or if I have to send it in to get it repaired. Any suggestions?

- Try connecting to comutr and then try to restor.
- If still white screen, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an hour try the reset and restore again.

6th gen iPod Nano screen turns white when connected

I just got my replacement Nano for the 1st gen Nano recall. I plug it in to sync and the screen is white. Sync finished and I unplug it. I remove the dock connector cable and the homescreen appears, but is almost in a mirror like state. The screen is in the correct orientation, but the letters are backwards and hitting the lets say radio app opens the music app scrolling down, scrolls up, etc. Sleep-wake fixes the issue. Plug it in again and does it again. Restore it. Doesn't fix it. Hard reset, doesn't fix it.
Playing with it a bit, it seems to be an issue with the dock connector. I wiggle the cable and the screen turns white or goes to that mirror like state until I sleep/wake it. Unplug it, screen goes white/ to mirror like state until completely unplugged. In any case, if I touch the cable and wiggle it, the screen goes between white and mirror state.
Will an Apple Store replace it or do I need to send it in since it was a replacement program?
Thoughts?

You have 90 days warranty on your replacement Nano, see if you can visit an Apple Store or get it serviced.

HELP! iTunes Sais My iPod is Corrupted, But Music Still Plays

I plugged in my iPod, and iTunes sais it is corrupted and to restore it, Windows sais it is corrupted also. But all the music and videos still play. I don't want to restore my iPod because my iTunes library got damaged and whenever I import all the songs again, it just gets damaged in a day. So I don't know what to do. Anyway I can fix it?
It is the 5.5g iPod video, Windows XP, Intel Celeron D, 2.8ghz, Dell Dimension 1100, 1gb RAM. Itunes 7.0.1, and the firmware is the newest on the iPod, when I plug the ipod into iTunes it sais: "iTunes has detected an iPod that appears to be corrupted. You may need to restore this iPod before it can be used with Itunes. You may also try disconnecting and reconnecting the iPod.". And when I click on the iPod's drive letter in My Computer it sais the disk is not formatted, and it gives an option to do so. But all the music and videos still play fine on the iPod.

I have the same problem... But after HOURS of trying any and all apple support/user submited suport ideas (all failed) i finaly broke down and restored my iPod. But it did nothing, all it did was instead of my iPod "booting" up and i could listen to my music (that was now skipping thanks to iTunes 7) i get a screen with a picture with the http://www.apple.com/support/ipod URL.... So now i have a $400 peice of junk just sitting their thanks to iTunes... isn't life great?

Volume set to zero but music still plays

Just as described in the subject, I set the volume to zero but I can still hear the music. Happens with each and every song.
Problem is - this lowest volume setting is a bit too high for me. So this is pretty annoying. My common sense says that ZERO volume means ZERO volume.
Please don't tell me to just pause the song, that's not the issue. We should be able to set the volume to zero and hear nothing.
Appreciate any help.

Yes! It happens to me too.
Plus: When I turn the volume to max, it plays on the external speakers too. Pleaseeeee someone help meeeee! I CANT listen to music like this!

I accidentally washed my 6th generation iPod nano. It will turn on still but now it has a computer screen setup on the screen, is there a way I can get it back to normal? I can plug it into my computer and it works and I've click the restore button that comes under the nano's summary when it's plugged in. Any type of help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Take your iPod Nano back to the Apple Store. Let them see what you are seeing. Only this time............
Prior to leaving the Apple Store: ***Make sure you have the store staff power the iPod Nano up and demonstrate that it is indeed working properly to your satisfaction.***

Try restoring the iPod. First from backup and if problem persists, restore to factory settings/new iPod.
If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

My iPod nano screen is frozen and will not respond. It shows the song which was playing is paused, but will not resume playing. I have held down all controls, and changed the slide switch, but nothing happens

Hi Goofy Goat,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like you have done some great troubleshooting for your iPod nano that is not responding. In this situation, if resetting it did not resolve, I would suggest restoring the iPod back to its factory settings and then sync your content back onto it from iTunes. Please use the following article as a resource for restoring.

IPod nano screen crash

ok, this was a gift from a friend who lives in canada so I'm furious. He bought it from some store and my mother brought it here to Egypt. It worked fine at first, but the screen used to mess up every now and then. It was and still is, in mint physical condition. I left it inactive for 5 hrs so it automatically hibernated as usual. After I reactivated it, the screen was all messed up and belive me it was never subjected to pressure or any kind of fluid. I can still scroll around and music still plays but the screen is bent out of shape. part of it is still fine but the middle left lower part is dead. My mother is returning to canada 2nd of november. What am I supposed to do?
I think my iPod was defective since I bought it because the screen was messy every time I reactivated the iPod. Could this be a software problem or is this an LCD crash?
HELP!!!

The warranty that comes with your product is "global" so you should be able to request support under warranty by first registering the product on this website using the product serial number (from the box)
Visit the support section of this site to request support and advise on the issue you are having
Apple will send a box to you I believe which you can use to package up and return your Nano for service or replacement.
It may take you a couple of weeks to get it back fixed but this is the process I would follow.
