4th gen ipod touch has white screen

I have a 4th generation Ipod touch. The screen turned white all of a sudden for no reason. I've tried holding buttons letting it die and plugging it back in but the white screen is still there.It still makes noise. like the other day it was making a noise like someone was calling it. Then if I press the sleep/wake button and home button it takes a picture and I can hear the noise but still have the white screen. Does anyone know what I can do? Thanks

try one of these ways:
> restore you iDevice with iTunes in Recovery Mode (if you have to... back up your device before restoring)
> let the battery go completely dead.... then plug it using USB to PC or Mac OS
> replace the LCD with www.ifixandrepair.com
> go to the Apple Store (official store not retail) and see what they can do. they can replace your device for refurbished price

  • My 4th Gen iPod Touch has my location wrong

    My 4th Gen iPod Touch that runs iOS 5, has my location way wrong.
    On the weather app, maps app, other apps, and icloud it shows my location is some house in Columbia, SC.
    The problem is, is I don't live anywhere near Columbia,SC! I live in Jacksonville,FL! So my question is, is why is my iPod doing this, and how can I fix it?

    The iPod get its location from where the Apple database thinks your router is located.  (Was your router ever in Columbia SC?).  In any case, sometimes Apple 's database is incorrect.  There is nothing you can do about it.  Apple should eventually correct it.

  • My 4th gen iPod touch has been plugged in for hours but it won't charge or turn on

    I have a 4th gen iPod touch. It has been plugged in for hours but it won't charge or turn on. I cannot restore it because it won't show up in iTunes. I have tried pressing and holding the home and/or the power key but that does not work as well. I have tried restarting Apple Mobile Support. I have updated my iTunes. I have tried EVERYTHING but it will not turn on at all. Any suggestions?

  • 4th Gen ipod touch has a white screen

    4th Generation ipod has a white screen.  I have done the hard restart with no success.  Have attached it to the computer for a restore--it goes through the whole process and the white screen stays.  Even with the white screen, you can hear that you slide the bar to start and apps are available, but the white screen won't go away.  It is only 2 days old!!!  HELP!

    Try starting with the bold:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

  • My 4th gen ipod touch has started to quit right for no reason.

    My ipod 4th gen has developed a mind of its own. Doesn't matter what I might be doing it will just quit and go to a black screen. Wait a few seconds and it will restart. I have upgraded to ios 6.0 hoping that the problem would go away, no luck.
    I tried to do a restore and got a message telling me that it could not be completed. Tired a few more times same message about the server. Any help appreciated.

  • 6th gen ipod nano has white screen and won't go into disc mode

    My ipod nano has a white screen - it will play music, and it is recognized by itunes. It won't enter disc mode. I can't seem to find any other helpful steps to follow online other than put it into disc mode and restore it via itunes. When I attempt to put it into disc mode holding power/Vol down together the screen will turn back, but when I then hold down Vol down/Vol up together while the screen is dark it just goes back to white screen. I did plug it into the computer and restore it via itunes, and the screen is still white.  Any ideas?  Thanks!

    Hi LizS5,
    It sounds as if you have already done much of the troubleshooting suggested in this article, but I would suggest you work through it in order to get your iPod nano back up and running -
    iPod nano (6th generation): Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3474
    Specifically -
    Try putting the iPod into disk mode:
    Reset the device (press the Sleep and Volume Down buttons simultaneously until the display turns black—about eight seconds).
    When the display turns black, hold down the Volume Down and Volume Up buttons simultaneously until the device enters Disk mode.
    While the device is in disk mode, sync it to iTunes and try to restore.
    And if the issue is not resolved -
    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
    For information on servicing your iPod, go to the iPod Service FAQ
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • I'm having troubles connecting to my wifi at home. I have the 4th Gen. iPod touch. My screen is cracked, does this have anything to do with it? I recently had a trip down to LA, and before my trip the wifi was working fine. Is there anyway to fix this?

    the wifi works perfectly fine on all my other electronics, and I've already tried reseting and moving the router. The wifi signal is only strong if I am within 5 feet of the router.

    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on the router.
    - Reset networks settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings

  • Ipod  touch has white screen and not responding

    screen is white and not responding

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely.  Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

  • Ipod touch has white screen

    Have tried to restore twice and have held the two buttons down for 30 seconds... no fix... it is charged and it has not been dropped or had any liquids on it... any help is appreciated...

    You may have a major disconnection, defective Liquid Crystals, or, less likely, an operating system error. You will have to talk to Apple.

  • HT1430 My 4th Gen iPod touch will not turn, doesnt charge, and i can't reset in computer because it says it is protected by a passcode, but i cant enter pass code because the screen stays black and won't even light up... What do I do

    My 4th gen iPod Touch has had a blank screen for about 3-4 weeks now, it will not turn on, sync, or charge. iTunes recognizes its plugged up, but i cant reset it because it says its passcode protected, but i cant enter passcode due to screen not lighting up or working. How do i fix this?

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
    iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
