My 4th gen nano has locked up and the click wheel doesn't function, is it dead?

Hi my 4th gen nano stopped working, the screens ok with no error messages but the click wheel no longer functions other than reseting. I've set it back to default ok but still no good as it's stuck on the language page. Is it dead??

Hi jim,

  • Is there a difference between the LG EnV3 and the LG EnV3 VX9200 is this the same phone. the reason I ask is because one says it has internet access and the other one doesn't

    It the same phone but you don't have to have data on it if you don't want since they are older phones.  We had these phones without data as I didn't think they would be good for surfing the net compared to a smart phone.  Mary

  • The Display on my 6th gen nano has flipped sideways, and I don't know how to get it back to the right side up.

    The display on my 6th Generation Nano has flipped sideways, and I can't figure out how to get it to flip back.

    Place your fingers onto the screen and gently (but firmly!) drag the screen around to the upright position.
    Hope this helps.

  • I have a third-generation iPod nano, and the click wheel died today. Is it possible to replace myself?

    There's been a delay or lack of response for a while now, but the ribbon connecting it to the logic board is fully into the clip, and there's no clicking noise when I try to scroll or press any of the buttons. I've replaced the screen before, so I was wondering whether I could replace the click wheel, and how - there's a lot less on the internet about how to do that. I'm really trying not to let my iPod die of old age, so any help would be great.

    You will have to replace the front panel and rear panel.

  • Brought a second hand ipod touch 4th gen, tried to restore it and the battery died now it will not charge or switch on

    Hello everyone I brought a second hand ipod touch 4th gen and it all worked fab except it wouldn't let me put any new apps on it so my friend suggested I restore it which I did but while it was restoring the battery died. Now it doesn't seem to be charging and I have left it for ages through the laptop and tried it through a geniune apple plug in charger but its not working. When you plug in the cable to the laptop or plug the little grey apple comes up on the screen but only stays on for about 5 maybe 6 seconds. Does anyone have any suggestions? I have tried all the trouble shooting suggestions on apple but none of its worked, Shall we just bin it and learn from our mistakes.
    Thank you to anyone who can help

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    also
    Not Charge
    - See:      
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    - Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Dropped my phone and now I see almost-transparent lines on my lock screen and the touch screen doesn't work. Help?

    I was walking to my garage when my iPhone slipped out of my hand and fell on the floor. I looked at it and saw strange almost-transparent lines on my lock screen. I tried to unlock my phone, but it wouldn’t let me do anything. It was almost as the touch screen wasn’t working. I turned it off and plugged in my phone to the charger and it started up automatically, but it still looked the same and wouldn’t work. I think that my iPhone 5 might be broken? Please help!

    Make an appointment at an Apple store and have then assess it

  • 4th gen nano

    the display is sideways when plugged into my docking station. Can the display be rotated?

    My coworkers 4th Gen Nano arrived this morning and the first thing we did was compare the connectors to my 2nd and 3rd Gen Nanos. Unfortunately it looks like neither of the prior Lanyard headphones will work with the 4th Gen and so far there is no sign that Apple intends to resurrect the concept. I know that I won't be buying a 4th Gen until they do. To make matters worse I believe that Apple has a patent on the concept so no third party will be able to step up and fill in the gap.

  • I dropped my Ipod and now the click wheel is not working anymore

    Hey! I hope you can help me! I dropped my Ipod today, and now the Click wheel doesn't work anymore! The IPod broke open, but I put it together again! When I came home I connected it with the computer to see if "its" alive. And it connected and updated and everything was okay, instead of the Click wheel control! When it dropped there was "Hold" and now I can't deactivate "Hold". So I think, maybe the click wheel doesn't work because "Hold" was activated the moment the ipod dropped! BUt I don't know! Maybe something inside the ipod a soldering joint got torn apart, or something, I don't know! I just know the click wheel doesn't work, anything else seems to be okay! Can anyone help me???

    hey and whops about dropping your ipod...
    heres what i think but im not an ipod know it all so what i say might not help but any way...
    And it connected and updated and everything was okay, instead of the Click wheel control!
    well this sound okay so it probly isnt anything to do with the hard drive if it is updating ect...
    I think it would have to do with the fact that the hold lock was on... have you tried jigling the hold switch back and forward a bit? that often helps...other wise i think you should take it to an apple store and see what they can do.
    Hope it fixes

  • Ipod classic, and its click wheel

    well, i used to have a 30gb video and the click wheel scrolled easily and didnt pause, now i have a 80gb classic, and when i go to scroll straight away it doesnt start to scroll, until about a second later. Is this common, or do i need to exchange and replace it because it is faulty?
    thanks

    Indeed that works, but it also allows for the iPod to catch up so compensates for the menu read that it seems to be doing. Not ideal, but alas it works.
    For general responsiveness I've found that pressing ever so slightly instead of moving your thumb works well. So, you're not pushing hard enough to click the wheel but you are applying pressure.
    I've just compared to a friend's previous generation iPod and there is definitely a loss in sensitivity.

  • Since updating to iOS 6, my 4th gen iPod touch, and my 3rd gen iPad has sound in and out. Sometimes it's on, and then all of a sudden, no sound. I've tried everything from restarting to fully resetting each one starting fresh, but nothing. Please help.
