Hello all,
I have a 14.88G iPod Nano that I currently use as my primary watch. A week or so ago I started to experience a blank white screen when I press the "sleep/wake" button instead of the watch face (I have it set to wake from sleep to display the clock). When I hard reset it, it will come back fine and the screen will respond and work as normal, as soon as I manually put it to sleep by pressing the "sleep/wake" button and then try to wake it the same thing happens and I have a blank white screen that doesn't respond to touch gestures or anything.
What I have tried so far to no avail:
Numerous hard restarts (holding the "sleep/wake" button with the volume - button).
Tried this: iPod nano (6th generation): Hardware troubleshooting
Changed the watch face to display.
Recharged the device overnight (without full discharge).
Since none of this works I'm out of ideas. Eventhough I have a 6G Nano it should no longer be under warranty since I was sent it as a replacement for a different (older) product.
Any ideas? Is this a known problem? Thanks in advance for any insight any of you could provide. Also, what time is it??
Regards,Hey,
I have the exact same problem as you have described. I also used my ipod as a watch but starting from today, whenever I unlock it the screen turns white until a reset is done. Even a factory reset through itunes didn't fix it.
Have you found any solution?
Bah, this is annoying.

Ipod Touch 1st generation: blank white screen - I tried holding both buttons and connecting it to the computer, restoring it, and still nothing. What else can I do? I did not drop it in water.
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Let the battery fully drain. After charging for at least an hour try what you tried already. If it still has the white screen that indicates a hardware problem an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

My iPod will not turn on: completely blank white screen! HELP!!!
It was workingn fine this morning when it was connected to my car stereo adapter (purchased from Apple). Later this afternoon, when I went to plug it in again, there was no screen at all - I mean NOTHING came up - not even the green battery icon. When I got home, I plugged it into the adapter to my computer for more than 3 hours, but alas, still nothing. NOTHING at all but a BLANK WHITE screen! What do I do??? This was a $400.00+ VERY NEW (less than 2 months old!) iPod and I have been good to it (no dropping, protected in an apple iSock all day!!! This is NOT good!
You're welcome
I would have come here myself if my iPod wasn't turning on and I didn't know about that link

On an earlier nano my sceen lights up but it is blank.
You can work through the remaining five 5 R's of troubleshooting.
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/
It might also be a good idea to let the iPod's battery fully drain. Then charge it back up and restore it once more in iTunes.
Otherwise, it's likely a hardware issue with the iPod's LCD display, meaning you'll need to take or send your iPod in for service either via Apple or a third party repair service. Here is Apple's repair pricing.
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/prices/
Note that they don't actually repair the device, but exchange it for one of the same generation, model, and capacity. A third party service will actually replace the damage part for a little less. Google "iPod screen repair" and you should get a number of results to work with.

My ipod screen is blank and doesn't show any display except it does have the lighted backscreen. I have restored to factory settings but no luck. Any suggestions?
you already tried a reset? you PUSHED AND HELD the middle button and the menu button AT THE SAME TIME for 10 seconds? it may take a few trys and works best if hooked to power.

Ipod 160 GB has blank white screen
My 160 GB ipod has a blank white screen. This happened simply by my plugging it in to my computer this morning to charge it. I want to get it turned off so I can consider resetting it.
Work through each of the recommend 5 R's of troubleshooting. If necessary, let the iPod's battery full drain first and then work through each one again as necessary.
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/
If they are unable to addresse the white screen issue, it's a good indicator of a hardware issue with the iPod's display or its display's connection to the logic board.

my ipod touch 4th gen froze! only blank white screen and doesn't respond when turned off or connected to my laptop!
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.
