IPod Touch displaying white screen

I went on an app [called My Horse] and it displayed the loading screen like usual, then it froze like it has before, usually resetting the my ipod works to fix it. I set it down gently to let it load, and it suddenly displayed a white screen, then a opaque black overlay went over the light.
I tried holding the lock/unlock and the home button for at least two minutes, and it still didn't do anything.
I hooked it up to itunes, itunes doesn't register the fact that it's plugged in.
Any ideas of what's wrong? Is it completly dead?
It's not jailbroken and nothing has been messed with, I usually only visit wikipedia and twitter and use it for listening to pandora on it.
It's been sitting on a white screen for a while now
I really don't want to reset it, and I couldn't anyway because itunes won't register it as plugged up.

Try the white-screen topic of the following. However, it is frequently a hardware problem.

    My Ipod touch displays white lines across my entire screen.  I've turned it on and off and it still hasn't cleared up.HELP!?!

    Try the standard fixes:
    - Reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod
    If you still have the problem that points to a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • 4th gen ipod touch has white screen

    I have a 4th generation Ipod touch. The screen turned white all of a sudden for no reason. I've tried holding buttons letting it die and plugging it back in but the white screen is still there.It still makes noise. like the other day it was making a noise like someone was calling it. Then if I press the sleep/wake button and home button it takes a picture and I can hear the noise but still have the white screen. Does anyone know what I can do? Thanks

    try one of these ways:
    > restore you iDevice with iTunes in Recovery Mode (if you have to... back up your device before restoring)
    > let the battery go completely dead.... then plug it using USB to PC or Mac OS
    > replace the LCD with www.ifixandrepair.com
    > go to the Apple Store (official store not retail) and see what they can do. they can replace your device for refurbished price

  • How do I fix iPod Touch's white screen?

    Hello,
    So I'm having this problem with my iPod Touch 3rd Generation, where appears to be fully blank (white), and I've tried different methods that was mentioned on the internet including:
    Turn it on/off
    Hold home and power button for 40 seconds
    Restore iPod
    Drain the battery
    The thing is, none of these methods worked, sometimes it would go back to normal, but then 5 seconds later it will start flickering and turn white again. On a side note, everything works fine, that was how I managed to turn it off, so the iPod functions properly, you hear the sounds, but you can't see the screen 'cause it's all white. Just wanna ask if there's other methods I should try or should I visit the Apple Store (ps. I bought my iPod in another country )?
    Thanks,
    Eric

  • HT1212 Ipod touch with white screen

    My little brother was playing my ipod and now its got millions of seconds before i can access my ipod. Now tho the screen is white with static horizontal lines going across the screen, no pictures nothing so when i plug it into itunes, itunes ask for the passcode but i cannot see anything. What should i do?

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
    iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen                         
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: How to back up     
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:

  • IPod Touch 3g White Screen, What Part Could Be Deffective?

    Every time I try to turn my iPod 3g on I am greeted with a white screen, known as the white screen of death. I know there are many possible reasons for this, but it's not a software issue, it's fully recognised in iTunes. I'm wondering is it more likely to be the didgitizer or the lcd display? So I know which one to replace.
    Thank You.

    It is not the digitizer but usually the LCD display but it could be the logic board.
    Have you tried restoring the iPod to factory setting/new iPod?

    What does that mean?
    You turned it off, screen went black and when you turned it back on, screen went white again??
    Or maybe you never really turned it off?
    Hold the top button and the front button simultaneously for at least 10 seconds until Apple logo appears and then wait several minutes for it to boot up.
