My iPod has crashed.  The screen is flashing, not black.

I was checking Facebook, and the screen went black, with a dozen irregular green and yellow lines running diagonally across the screen.  Pressing and holding the two buttons (as I've done for a regular crash), has no effect - I've held them for over 40 seconds.
I believe I have a 4th gen - it is about a year and a half old.  Suggestions?

- Try here:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't turn it off let the battery fully drain. After charging for at least an hour try again

  • Hello, my Ipod bottom of the screen has a problem. It is too high. Is this normal?

    Hello, my Ipod bottom of the screen has a problem. It is too high. Is this normal?

    What does "the screen is a bit crash" mean?  If the screen is cracked you can make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.  Although the broken screen is not covered by warranty, sometimes the Genius will exchange it at no cost. Otherwise, Apple will charge $99, $149 or $199 for the exchange, depending upon the capacity.
    A third-party place like the following may be less expenisve but you will lose the remainder of  the warranty.

    MY IPOD Touch has a permanent white screen. I am unable to switch it off or reset and it is not recognised in i-tunes thus preventing me from performing a 'restore'
    Any suggestions?

    Try letting the battery fully drain.  After charging for an hour, try the reset and connecting to the computer again andtry to restore.  If the screen is blank (not white) see if placing the iPod in recovery mode will allow a restore. For recovery mode:

    My iPod has a white screen.  After holding down the middle and menu button, the screen goes black then back to white and beeps twice.  I have returned to original settings and resorted content to no avail.  I still have a white screen.  I have plugged it up and tried resetting again and again, still a white screen with two beeps - help.

    I have the same exact issue. Fifth generation iPod Nano, blank screen, Restore had no effect. I'm running Windows 7 Home, with all software up-to-date. I suspect hardware damage. Any clarification would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

    how much does it cost to replace a iPod touch 5g. the screen is completely broke and digitiser and theres no front and back camera??

    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $99 for 16 GB 5G and $149 for the other 5Gs. They do not fix yours. Note the older 16 GB 5G has only a front camera and the other 5Gs (16 GB released late last month and the 32 and 64 GB 5Gs have both front and back cameras)

    My daughter was playing on her Ipod Touch when the screen went white.  It will not turn off or do anything.  Has anyone else had this problem and know what may work?

    The same thing just happened to my new ipod today while i was trying to use an app. A lot of people say that it is caused by an ios update, but I let the battery on my ipod drain until it turned off.  Once i charged it, it turned on and is working normally again
