3 week old 80G ipod classic screen stopped working

My three week old Ipod classic is just showing a blank screen since yesterday afternoon. What do I do with it?
I tried to find somewhere on the Apple site that would guide me but it is really hard to find help.
Has anyone here had a similar problem?

Perhaps you should take it back to an Apple Store if possible, to have it checked.

    To give you something, I need something too, like
    How old is the Ipod? (if it is still under warranty, then send it to Apple service shop)
    Are you running Windows iTunes or Mac iTunes?
    What do you see on the iPod screen?
    My guess is, your iPod classic is more than 2 years old and out of warranty, and the hardisk has gone kaput! and need to be replaced.
    Have a nice day!

  • My  ipod classic just stopped working.  Will not turn on, will not do anything.  Black screen.  It is still under warranty.  What do I do to get it fixed or replaced?

    My ipod classis just stopped working.  It is still under warranty and I need to know where the warranty information is so I can get it fixed or replaced?

    If you have tried all of the suggestions mentioned under the appropriate section in this Apple support document, you may need to have your iPod serviced or replaced either by Apple or a third party service. 
    iPod won't turn on
    If the iPod is still under Apple's 1 year warranty against manufacturing defects, Apple may swap it out for you at no cost if they don't conclude the issue to be the result of abuse or accidental damage.  If you have an Apple Store nearby schedule an appointment with them and show them what you are experiencing.

  • My iPod touch screen stopped working, how do i fix it?

    My iPod(4th generation) touch screen stopped working. Okay so it was fine earlier, my home button does not work so i have been using the assistive button for months, and until earlier today it got stuck, i tried to power it off but it doesn't let me slide to power it off, and it doesn't let me press anything on the assistive menu either, and i'm currently waiting for my ipod to die but it's taking forever since it's battery lasts forever! is there any other solutions you can give me?
    and i was wondering if my ipod has life insurance with apple so if something is wrong with the screen, can i take it for a new one? (my ipod is in very good conditions, not cracked or scratched, just the home button is an issue)
    thanks!

    Try restoring via iTunes. If necessary. try placing the iPod in recovery mode using one of these programs and then restore:

    See

    - I would start with
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    or              
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
    - Then do the other actions of:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    paying special attention to item #5
    - New cable and different USB port
    - Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

  • HT3798 my 1 week old new ipod classic doesnt seem to play certain albums/songs that play fine in itunes and fine on my old ipod. any ideas why?

    i have just purchased a new ipod classic about a week ago and it wont play certain songs/albums and stops them halfway through the track. if you fast forward past the spot it plays and it plays perfectly on itunes and on my old i[od. any ideas?? HELP

    Since the iPod is only a week old, I would consider returning it to Apple or wherever you purchased it from and showing them what is happening.  If they decide that the unit is faulty, they'll swap it out for you at no cost.

  • Ipod nano screen stopped working

    Has anyone had this happen?, My nanao worked absolutely fine Friday and when I picked it up today it wont turn on at all!  Itunes recognizes it and I did a full reset, but nothing!  My Iphone did this last week also!  No injury to either one and fully charged.  At a loss as to what to do.

    So the iPod does not appear to power on, but it's recognized by iTunes?  It seems like the backlight on the Nano make actually have burned out.
    Take a flashlight and shine it on the nano's LCD display.  Do you see any signs of life from the screen?  There is a good chance that the backlight for the Nano has gone out and is in need of replacement, which will require you to replace the entire LCD.  You can choose to have Apple swap out the Nano for a flat fee or you can send it to a third party repair center to have them swap out the bad part for a little less.

  • 3 week old 60gb iPod Photo won't work

    I bought a 60gb iPod Photo approximately 3 weeks ago. Very, very happy with my purchase even with the release of the video enabled Pod recently.
    Anyway - this morning it refuses to work. It won't power up. Nothing. Blank screen.
    Have tried all the resetting suggested in Apple support. Nothing. It just won't power up under any circumstances. (Tried plugging it to AC as well)
    Very frustrated.

    Perhaps you should take it back to an Apple Store if possible, to have it checked.

  • Ipod classic 30GB stopped working

    Any ideas on getting it to work? When I plug it in to charge it the unit tries to turn itself on and then cycles off and on etc.

    iPod issues? Try these five steps first: Reset, Retry, Restart, Reinstall, Restore.

  • My iPod Touch 3G screen stopped working.

    A few days ago, my iPod Touch screen stopped working.  I tried restoring it afterwards and it worked for about a day.  After that the screen became unresponsive again.  I did this again to see if it would make a difference but the same thing happened; it workes for a day and became unresponsive yet again afterwards.

    If you restored to factory settings/new iPod via iTunes (Not via Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Setting) and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
    Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store..

  • Ipod nano 6th gen touch screen stopped working please help

    Everything on the ipod nano 6th gen is working except the touch screen and once it goes to sleep i have to hold the sleep button and the volume down button to turn it back on. I went into the volume -, sleep, volume + menu and went through the tests and in the touch panel error check section it says i have IC error reported: 0xFFFFFFFF. Please help as i have reset and restored and update itunes etc. Do i need to send it in to apple? The touch screen was working at one stage and then i disconected from the computer while it said eject first (this is when the touch screen stopped working) and put the ipod on a different computer. The first computer was windows 7 which i used just to charge it a little and the second one im using is windows vista.

    I have had the same problem and changed three Nano's. Each time the fault is diagnosed by Apple as "water damage".
    If you take your Nano to one of their maintenance centres they will look into either the headphone socket or the power dock and and tell you that you have infringed the warranty by somehow getting the thing wet.
    Basically is a poorly designed piece of kit whereas a simple shuffle is way more robust.
    I have given up with my Nano and am now using an old model

  • My new ipod classic does not work anymore! The music stopped and the display is dead. What now, besides calling support?

    My new ipod classic does not work anymore! The music stopped and the display is dead. What now, besides calling support? Useless to say my PC didn't recognize the Ipod anymore either.

    Anton, I wish I could help. I had an old iPod Classic (60 KB) as a gift but it went dead, I dropped it a few times accidentally, and it sat carefully saved until I had sufficient resources, energy and time to get the matter addressed. In my case, I actually took the thing (after making sure it was charged) to an Apple store and one of the geniuses at the genius bar at the back of the store took it and did a few things (unseen and un-noted) with his fingers and handed it to me with a sly smile. Voila, the thing was functional. I got a re-functionalized iTunes account and store access when I bought my iMac. I did lose a few tunes along the way because it didn't recognize my new iMac as the source (my old dead PC laptop), but I have a more functional memory than the iPod and recovered them all in other ways. The whole thing is humming better than ever. At over 11 gb full, I have 4.2 days worth of portable listening. Be patient; it took me four years to get musical nirvana in a pocket, but you'll get there faster. Call support.

  • White lines on ipod classic screen, could it be cracked screen? it has never been dropped or anything. Is it pretty common problem. Contacted apple support, denies problem exist.

    White lines three appeared on my ipod classic screen. It has never been dropped or screen scratched. Suddenly white lines appeared on the screen. Tried to reset settings, nothing changed. Is this a common issue with ipod classic coz apple adviser denying ever having heard of this problem and I have to pay half of msrp to fix it. Offered 10% off to purchase new ipod and turn in old one. What a waste. Apple should take responsibility if this problem is indeed inherent with this product.

    The magnets are tnot the cause.
    Try the standard fixes to rule out a software problem.
    - Reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPad: 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 tofactory defaults/new iPad
    If still problem then time for an appointment at teh Genius Bar of an Apple store. The drops may have damaged it or there could be another cause.
