IPod will mount but has blank screen - display

Hey guys,
I have a 30gb ipod with video and today I dropped in on carpet at work. Now the display is blank. I can mount it on my imac at home and I even hear the click when i press menu/play/ff/rev buttons. Does this sound like something just came loose?
I tried the 5 R's etc, but the screen will not come on.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Not necessarily. Try http://www.ipodresq.com or do a Google search and you can find sites that give you pictures on how to disassemble it or sell you parts. The link I gave you also does repairs.

My ipod nano 5th gen has blank screen

Hi, my ipod nano 5th gen has a blank screen, will not switch on, and not recognised by computer. Have tried holding menu and central button but still dead. Any suggestions please.

Hello Emilyyandrews,
To fix try this:
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/nano5gen/
This has the best chance of fixing your issue if its not hardware related. If it does not fix it then you may want to consider setting the ipod up for service:

Or you can call Apple and have them set it up for you. Have your serial number ready.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: 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. See:

My ipod nano 6th gen has white screen

please help my ipod nano 6th gen has white screen and wont go away, ive put into disk mode (dfu) and restored on itunes and still no resolution....ive tried hard reseting and still nothing

It might also be a good idea to let the iPod's battery fully drain. Then charge it back up and restore it once more in iTunes.
Otherwise, it's likely a hardware issue with the iPod's LCD display, meaning you'll need to take or send your iPod in for service either via Apple or a third party repair service. Here is Apple's repair pricing.
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/prices/
Note that they don't actually repair the device, but exchange it for one of the same generation, model, and capacity. A third party service will actually replace the damaged part for a little less. Google "iPod screen repair" and you should get a number of results to work with.

You may want to try this.
Solution A
Start up your MBP while pressing Option (alt)|, Command, P, R until your hear 3 chimes rather than 2 as indicated by apple. This worked for me the first time.
Solution B
Start your MBP while pressing Option (alt), Command, S
Hold until you see the computer automatic routine. When it finally stops type the following followed by "return":
fsck -fy
It will probably indicate some problem related to "pcscd.pub" (should be 16 instead of 17). I haven't figured out what this means but somewhere in the Internet i read it is related to scan cards...
More importantly this routine will fix any problems with your HDD similarily to disk repair. When it ends, it will tell you if it has fixed/modified anything. If it has, run the routine again by typing again "fsck -fy"
Lastly, reboot by typing "reboot" (followed by "return")
Solution C
Start up your MBP while pressing option (alt), command, S
hold keys until you see computer commands scrolling
when the routine stops type the following, each line followed by the "return" key:
mount -uw /
chmod 775 /
chmod 1775 /
reboot
After which your computer should reboot on it's own.
Each of the above has worked for me at one time or another. Once your computer has rebooted from the DVD you can reinstall OS X. If your problems started after installing 10.5.6, then I don't suggest updating until 10.5.5.
I'm very very disappointed with my 2007 MBP, it started to give me problems after 1 year. had to change the HDD and lately when I isntalled 10.5.6 it suddenly refused to start up., My previous Mac laptop (2003 866Mhz) worked for 4 years without a hitch. Ironically I've had to use it to access the internet and find solutions for my current MBP.
best of luck

l have an apple tv 2 generation please help me

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
Open iTunes.
Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.
(You may already have a micro USB cable if you have a camera or other digital device)

Ipod will charge, but is not found

Hello, I have had my Ipod Mini since march of this year(2005) and it has been working great up until about a few months ago. My Ipod will charge but is not recognized on the computer, and I have tried it in every one of my USB 2.0 slots(10 of them).
When it is recognized sometimes it will update the songs onto my Ipod and then it will just disappear from my computer, like its not connected, but it will still charge. What I want is for when I open "My Computer" it will show that a Ipod is connected and I can open if from there. If anyone has any suggestions, they would be welcomed. And yes, I have tried every one of the support things on the site and in my Ipod booklet.

Ive restarted my computer many times and its still the same, it only works about 15% fo the time, and when it does rihgt when it finishes updating it will act like its not there anymore.

try to reboot your ipod, to do this hold the power button for 5 seconds, continue to hold the power button and press the home button for 10 seconds (at about 8 seconds the ipod will turn off ignore that) after that realease the buttons and your ipod should return to normal. (this working on my ipod 4g when it went green screen) hope it works!!

1. Close all inactive apps in the Task Bar. Double-click the Home button and hold apps down for a second or two and tap the minus sign to close app.
2. Try a reset. Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple Logo

Solved!
Go to Solution.

What lead_org is referring to is commonly known as "re-balling" which involves unsoldering the Southbridge chip from the planar, replacing all (6-700) solder balls with new ones and then re-attaching it under heat/pressure.
This is the place that you need:

IPod will sync but takes nothing on

iPod will sync but phtos, apps, music etc. wont. All the right boxes appear to be ticked. I have tried a million things but so far the undoutedly obvious solution evades me. iTunes does my head in.

Okay, I believe I have found a reliable fix.
There is pain involved, however
On a Mac, one can hold down "Option" and click on the iTunes icon to bring up a dialog box allowing the user to choose a new library or to create a new library. I created a new library in a different location than my original and was then able to use iTunes's "Add to Library" option under the File menu to recover my purchases. Unfortunately I lost all of my metadata, including play counts, but I am now able to sync my iPod once again.
It looks to me as though the upgrade to iTunes 10.5 corrupted part of the library database in a way that isn't recoverable. Creating a new library and starting over seems to be the fix.
I hope this works for you. According to this Apple support doc (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1589) if you're on Windows, launching iTunes while holding down <shift> accomplishes the same thing as the <option> trick I used on my Mac.
Best of luck!

Did anything happen to prior to your phone acting this way? It sounds like your screen is dead, but it is hard to say without knowing what what the cause.
1) was this a gradual problem? Did the phone screen start dimming a couple months ago and now has degraded or after some event (known or unknown to you), the phone started behaving this way.
2) Can you give more specifics on the problem? You said you have a black screen, but also you can see what you're doing on screen. Is the screen just really dim? Is the screen completely black? Does anything else besides attempting to reset the device cause it to flash white?

I go to an internet company and try to download a document from it. A tab pops up saying the download was successful, but all I see is a blank screen with UI at the top. I don't understand where the download is going.

Thanks so much for your reply fanboy20.
Yes, just made sure of that. I do have the latest version of Flash player. But I have just staggered upon the answer. Chalk it up to being a newbi. I was not putting my apple tv to sleep and it would not allow me to see
you tube on my computer while it was still operating on my TV. When I realized that, I put the apple tv to sleep and bingo, my computer runs you tube fine. Thanks again for your response.

HT1212 IPHONE HAS BLANK SCREEN

IPHONE WAS DROPPED, NOW HAS BLANK SCREEN AND IS VIBRATING

Bummer. Sounds like it's broken. I'd advise either taking it to a professional for repair or just scrapping it and getting a new phone.
