After updating iPod screen is lit, but blank...help!

While I was was updating my iPod, I was prompted to use the iPod updater. Naturally, I followed the directions as I have done in the past. However, after my iPod was updated, the screen went dark. I tried to turn it on, but had no success. Then I tried resetting it. this caused the iPod to make two quick beeping noises followed by a bright lit screen.The screen is lit, but is now just blank. It has been blank for almost an hour now. Yes, I tried the "5 R's" as mentioned in the support part of iPod help menues.
Is there anything I can do? I do have an Apple store 2 blocks away. I can take it there if needed....and it is certainlyh looking like I will need to do just that. Any help that you can give me will be greatly appreciated!

TS1367 my white macbook will not start up - on pressing on button screen lights up but blank - help!

My white macbook will not start up. On pressing the start button the screen lights up but remains blank. Help!

G5 has these hardware issues:
-- bad capacitors on logic board
-- bad capacitors in power supply
-- badly soldered video chip
-- "There were several Mac models with flat panel displays that had bad displays.
     Most had serial numbers beginning with "W8"---the code for one specific factory.
     This affected PowerBooks as well. If that's the case, the rest of the computer
     is probably fine." by Allan Jones in

HP copier/printer/scanner/fax all-in-one The print screen on machine is lit but blank.

HP laserjet 8600 All-in-one. My print screen on machine is lit but blank. Unable to access prompts to operate. At times it will display home, right and left arrows and ? when touching those prompts it shifts from right to left but goes blank when touching other prompts
I am unable to print a copy because prompts don't appear on screen other than those mentioned.
I can print only from my computer

Hi there klf, welcome to the forums
I understand your display screen is blank on your printer. I would like for you to confirm which 8600 model you have and I will look into this for you.
In the meantime try a power reset:
Press the Power button to turn on the product.
With the product turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the product.
Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
Wait at least 15 seconds.
Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet.
Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the product.
If the product does not turn on by itself, press the Power button to turn it on.
Tip: Plug the printer in directly to the wall outlet, avoiding power bars and surge protectors. This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help this situation.

Dark screen on startup( screen is lit but nothing is displayed)

I was working on a paper on my computer( a year and half old) when it abruptly shutdown without any error screen(BSOD). I turned it on after and the screen was lit with all lights on and blinking( wifi, hdd, cd). The wifi light was on but it wasn't white- indicative it hadn't boot into an OS yet( I am running dual OS- Ubuntu 14.04 and Windows 8-primary). I was lucky for the screen to turn on to normal as I kept turning the power on and off repeatedly. I decided to boot into Ubuntu thinking the problem was from a driver issue on Windows. It was working normally about an hour and then I noticed a bizzare discoloration of the screen, a rapid blinking of the screen and finally the screen freezing entirely- I could move the mouse after this. At this point, (I was suspecting a graphics card defect not driver), so I turned off the computer and tried to turn it back on. The screen persistently stayed lit(Hp logo on the back was lit too) but with no visual display. I then connected the laptop to a secondary monitor using both HDMI and a VGA cable. The TV displayed no visuals from the computer in both instances. Lastly, the screen randomly turned on in my process of repeatedly powering off and powering on, but it appeared completely disclored and distorted. It was always in very low brightness. I continued to boot into windows 8 but just before the login screen I got a blue screen of death. The screen hasn't displayed visuals since( always stays lit at startup). I've never dropped this laptop before so I hope you guys could be of help because my warrantly recently expired.

Hi @Yussif_Hamis ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have read about your HP ENVY 17t-3000 CTO Notebook and getting a blank or black screen on startup. Try performing a hard reset.
When performing a hard reset please note remove any and all USB devices. Disconnect all non-essential devices.
You can do a system restore. System restore will help if something automatically updated and did not go well on the Notebook. This could be a graphic drivers issues as you can not see it on a Monitor.
You could restore the BIOS with this document selecting the reloading the BIOS default settings which should resolve the issue.
Hope this helps.
Thanks.

IPods screen went black but assisted touch on screen still works?

IPods screen went black but assisted touch on screen still works? What's would be wrong?? I have dropped it and the lower volume button went partly in side the IPod (thats why i had the assisted touch on) and its been working very slowly fore the last week or so. but other then that it was fine.

With the information given, If the screen is completely black even after the reset, it's sounds as a hardware issue
Could be : The battery
The charger
The phone itself
You can narrow these down one by one preferably.
-If you have an extra battery, test it.
-Try another charging cable or another outlet
If neither of those affect it, you can also wipe the phone, but that's pretty much the last last step you should do since it erases everything. Then restoring it. Time varies.
If you are still having trouble, contacting your carrier, the closest Apple Store, or the technical support line for Apple.

After updating iPod to iOS 5.0, cannot get into Game Center with previous nickname. It says my nickname is already in use by another account. Why did this happen and how can I fix this with my old nickname and its data?

After updating iPod Touch to iOs 5.0, I cannot get into Game Center with previous nickname. The screen says my nickname is already in use by another account. Why did this happen and how can I fix this so I can still use the same nickname?

Did you haveany problem with updating to iOS 5? It soundsl like the update did not correctly restore from the backup that iTunes mnakes as the fisr step of the update.

AFTER UPDATE GREY SCREEN NO SOUND THEN SHUTS DOWN AFTER 30 SECONDS PLEASE HELP

AFTER UPDATE GREY SCREEN APPEARS WHEN POWER BUTTON PRESSED NO START UP SOUND THEN SHUTS DOWN AFTER 30 SECONDS AND REPEATS ITS SELF PLEASE HELP

As for now, only thing that helped was an archive and install with preserve user settings. Seems after the reinstall of 10.4. everything that was weird has become normal again. I hope very much this state stays on for a while - or ever!
A comment to everybody: with problems that are common you get a lot of help from friendly users in here, but if like in my situation things get a bit more uncommon than the usual querks and troubles your bound to go through a whole workflow of tests and algorithms - i did learn some new things but eventually I had to go for the ultimate - the reinstall (of course, erase and install would have been more work.) and it's frustrating not to find out how it came to this problem. I wish I could nail it down to something I did mistakenly - i guess I'll find out next time.
THANKS THOUGH to those who replied.

Used to zoom computer screen while using apple tv, since update, my screen is mirrored, but zooming doesn't show up

I used to be able to zoom in and out on my computer screen while using apple tv. For example, zoom in on a certain URL or ribbon. Since the update, my screen is mirrored, but when I zoom in and out to show my Word ribbon up close, etc., the zooming doesn't show up. My zoom preferences are set on computer.

You might try restarting your device, your router and your Apple TV.
