Opened my ipod touch now screen is black

I recently got a silica ball stuck in my head phone Jack and tried everything to get it out, including opening my iPod. That didn't help so I closed it and then tried to turn it on and nothing happened. It looks like it is turned off but will I go to charge it my charger recognizes it. WHAT CAN I DO!

It appears that you either losened a connector or worse broke a connection. Yu can try taking it aport and lookng.

    Error 1604
    This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
    If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
    Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode,put it into Recovery Mode.
    Restore and wait for the error.
    When prompted, click OK.
    Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
    The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
    Try to restore again.
    If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.
    Error 1600, 1601, 1602
    Follow the steps listed above for Error 1604. This error may also be resolved by disabling, deactivating, or uninstalling third-party security, antivirus, and firewall software. See steps in this article for details on troubleshooting security software.

  • Unable to open my ipod touch. Big screen.

    Hello! I'm unable to open my ipod touch.
    I was trying to zoom a satellite photo in maps when my ipod touch closed.
    When I tried to open it again, I saw a big screen with big numbers (after slide to unlock.)
    I'm unable to put my password correctly. 3 digit only.
    Is anybody can help me ? Thank you.

    Thank you but this is an ipod touch 4th generation.
    Fortunately you were helpfull to give me the path. I connected my ipod touch to my Windows 7, started itunes and I have done a restore with a backup. After 1 hour everything is Ok. But next time, if it's happen I will try to tap with three fingers on my home screen to be able to see correctly my keyboard to enter my password. Thanks.

  • My ipod touch's screen partly frozen?

    My ipod touch's screen only works in the top left corner where I've got the accessibility helper button (my home button only works with a lot of pressure). I am unable to turn it off, and I haven't got my ipod charger right now- it also wouldn't help at the moment -Should I wait for my ipod to die so It will turn off and recharge it later? Or what do you guys think would help? Also, the touch screen always works, until now. ^The accessibility button menu is open but half-off of the screen, yet It's the only part of the screen that is touch-able. Help please~

  • How do i delay the screensaver kicking in? I want to have the music function available without havingto constantly press slide to open. Ipod touch.  Thanks

    how do i delay the screensaver kicking in? I want to have the music function available without havingto constantly press slide to open. Ipod touch.  Thanks

    On the iPod, go into Settings/General/Auto-Lock and set that for the amount of time you want, form the choices given.
    However, a note of caution; this isn't a screensaver function, it's there to prolong battery life. The longer the screen is on before turning itself off, the more battery you are using and the shorter the time before you run out of power.
    There's possibly a better way for you to use you iPod than to keep the screen on. Why are you constantly going into the music function? If it's to select a new track, you could possibly use the Shake To Shuffle feature, which will select a new track at random when you shake the iPod. Alternatively, use the basic Shuffle feature. Or create a Playlist (on the iPod), where you can select the songs you want to play at that time, put them in one list and let the iPod play them.

  • My IPod touch Sliding screen is locked and won't slide?

    My ipod touch sliding screen to unlock wont open or slide?

    Try this:
    1. Let IPOD spend all batt,
    2. Recharge it again, (i think it's turn on the primitive datas),
    3. The IPOD let you slide again,
    4. Turn WIFI OFF in SETTINGS
    5. IPOD run well, (calculator, Mp3, notes...)
    I believe there is a internet command or a BUG that block the IPOD.
