Blank screen on ipod mini-backlight works

blank screen on ipod mini-the backlight works

ddzz99,
Have you tried a hard reset or a restore of the iPod via iTunes?
If so, it sounds like either the display is damaged and needs replacing or the ribbon cable connecting the display to the logic board has become loose.  Either way you'll probably need to have the iPod serviced.

  • IPod mini only works with car charger!

    My iPod mini only works when it is plugged into a car charger. It is 4 months old. It does not work (frozen - no response or display at all) on its own, or plugged into the AC charger, or the USB connection on the computer. I have tried the reset procedure several times and with different power connections with no results. The iPod seems perfectly fine when using a car charger otherwise nothing! Whats going on!!?!?!
    Anyone else with this problem??

    Try to reset it.
    Press and hold the MENU and CENTER buttons - at the same time - until you see the Apple logo. This should take about 6 seconds. Also, you want to do this procedure while your iPod is connected to your computer. Ipods are supposed to work with USB port cable and AC Adapters, not only car chargers.
    If this doesn't work, then try to update it using iPod Updater software. Open iPod Update, plug in your iPod to your computer and wait until the software recognizes it. Once it does, you should be able to click on the "Update" button. If you can't, click "Restore"

  • Updated my iPod touch 3rd gen to 5.0.1 from 4.3.2 and now the screen my iPod won't work anymore.

    Updated my iPod touch 3rd gen to 5.0.1 from 4.3.2 and now the screen my iPod won't work anymore. I restored it, I backed it up and I held the power and Home buttons for the reboot and still nothing. I've been looking to see if any one had the same problem and one guy did but they tOld him it was his hardware, but I don't think it was because my friend was able to get it working but it would stop working again like in 10min. So, has anyone had the same problem and can help? Please, I will greatly apretiate it. :)

    What do you mnean that the screen does not work?
    When you touch the screen the iPod does not respond?
    Nothing shows on the screen?
    Or what?

  • TS3297 Open iTunes and just get a blank screen. All other apps working.

    When I open iTunes Store I just get a blank screen. All other apps working fine.

    Hi there,
    You mentioned you used the Cleaner Tool to uninstall everything, but still have Adobe App Manager (AAM) installed? Please try running the Cleaner Tool again (Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6)
    Remove all CC files and be sure to uninstall AAM.
    Then download the CC Desktop App here: https://creative.adobe.com/products/download/creative-cloud
    After you launch the desktop app, use the Apps panel to install the programs you need.

  • Ipod mini not working; weird screen shows up

    My iTunes is not recognizing my ipod mini, and when I connect it to power adapter, the apple logo shows up, then there is a file with a triangle next to it, and under it, says "www.apple.com/support/ipod". Have any of you guys seen that before?
    Thanks.

    See if these help.

  • Blank screen on Mac Mini running Boot Camp 3.1 with XP SP3

    After upgrading from 3.0 to 3.1 of Boot Camp I now am getting a blank screen after Windows finishes it's loading screen.
    Booting to safe mode works.
    I have tried uninstalling 3.1 and reverting back to 3.0, but the issue remains. Reinstalling 3.1 again also gives the same error.
    I uninstalled and reinstalled 2.1 (from a older system disk I had around) and the issue seems to be resolved however the refresh of items and windows on the screen are very slow.
    I have isolated the issue to the NVidia drivers, however I am unable to find any besides the bootcamp ones that seem to work. I've read through the forums and people have mentioned downloading drivers for other models but not the Mac Mini.
    So, two questions that would be very helpful in my quest to fix this:
    1) Anyone know where to get the latest working Nvidia drivers for the new Mac Mini (besides bootcamp)
    2) Anyone have a good utility or know of a good cleanup utility to get rid of all the previous nvidia drivers all over the place and in the registry? I read about a few, but it would be nice to know which ones actually work with bootcamp/xp, etc.
    Thanks for any assistance on this!

    I fixed it. All I had to do was change the output to the Cirrus audio device instead of the ATI.

  • Second hand ipod mini- not working?

    I ordered a used ipod mini off amazon cos it was cheap and it won't work. I've charged it for 4 hours like it says and when i turn it on it shows ther apple icon then it goes to a language screne. sometimes it lets me scroll through the languages nd others it just does nothing. Also when i select a language nothing happens? i've tried reseting it but that makes no difference.
    Sometiems when i turn it on it shows a battery with a exclamation mark! what does this mean? i fully charged it so do i need a new battery?
    I did once get past the language screne 2 the menu but i wouldn't let me play my songs that i put on it.
    plz help me

    Try Restoring the iPod with the most recent iPod Updater (version 1.4.1 I believe). To get it, click the iPod+iTunes link at the top of this screen, then scroll down on the left.
    Here is a link to the 5Rs tutorials: use the drop-down menu to navgiate through the different ones.
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/tutorial/ipgettingstartedt16.html
    I am not exactly sure what the battery symbol you described means, but I'm sure if you searched the iPod forums for something like "Battery with exclamation point" you would find it.
    I hope this helps!

  • Blank screen, Intel Mac mini, Samsung P23700 LCD monitor; HELP!?!

    I just got a new 23" Samsung LCD monitor and hooked it up to an Intel Mac mini. Turning on the system results in a blank screen with the monitor simply displaying a dialog box that seems to show that it is trying to figure out if the incoming signal is digital or analog. This dialog box is on for a few seconds and then the monitor goes to sleep. The monitor realizes that there is a signal coming in; As soon as I disconnect the DVI cable I get the standard "Check Signal Cable" on the monitor's screen. I don't even get the initial white screen on the Mac boot up. nothing. just the monitor's confused signal identifying dialog.
    I've tried connecting the Mac mini to the monitor with a DVI to DVI cable and a DVI to VGA to DVI connection, with the same result.
    I've also tried the monitor with an older PowerPC based Mac mini with the same result.
    Both Macmini's work with out a problem when connected to my 32" LCD TV with a DVI to HDMI cable.
    I also tried the Samsung monitor with a little Windows XP running laptop using the VGA to DVI cable and the monitor worked like a charm; I think that fact has been the most painful part of the process up to now.
    The windows machine's screen set up that worked was 1280x800 at 40Hz. I can't get a resolution like that on the Mac's display settings. I've only been able to hook it up to the LCD TV, and the display settings when hooked up to the TV are limited to LCD TV settings; i.e. 1080i. I've also tried setting the mac mini to 800x600 but still get no picture.
    Resetting PRAM etc. didn't help either.
    I'm stuck... any ideas people?

    I've tried connecting the Mac mini to the monitor with a DVI to DVI cable...
    That should work.
    and a DVI to VGA to DVI connection...
    That won't work. Once you go from DVI to VGA from the mini, you need to stay VGA. There is no going back to digital. So try DVI to VGA and then a VGA cable to the Samsung.
    I also tried the Samsung monitor with a little Windows XP running laptop using the VGA to DVI cable and the monitor worked like a charm;...The windows machine's screen set up that worked was 1280x800 at 40Hz.
    I wouldn't call that working like a charm. 1280 x 800 at 40Hz is a completely bizarre resolution for a 23" monitor, or any monitor. I would begin wondering if you got a bad monitor if that's the best it can do.

  • I have a 3rd generation iPad running iOS7.0.2, and since updating to iOS7, it will not mirror to an AppleTV.  The devices will connect, but the video monitors show only a blank screen.  The AppleTV's work fine with various other iOS & OSX devices. Ideas?

    I have three AppleTV's where I work.  I have two at home.  I have an iPhone 4S running iOS7.0.2 which mirrors smoothly via AirPlay.  I have a 2011 MacBook Pro and a 2011 iMac, both running Mountain Lion, both of which mirror smoothly through AirPlay.  I have a 3rd generation iPad running iOS7.0.2, and since updating to iOS7, it will not mirror.  The iPad will connect to the AppleTV, but the TV's and projectors only show a black screen when connected: the iPad screen looks as it should, except that the transitions become jumpy when connected via AirPlay.  This is true on both networks: at home and at work.  Another gentleman using the network where I work has the most recent iPad, also running iOS7.0.2, and he is having the same problem.  I have tried to "Reset All Settings."  I have tried to "Restore."  Does anyone have any suggestions?  Has anyone else experience difficulty mirroring the iPad through AirPlay since the release of iOS7.0.2?

    No problems exists with the router (on either network described above) or the multiple AppleTV's which are able to mirror multiple other OSX & iOS devices seamlessly. The problem is strictly with the iPad and iOS7.

    This is an iOS 7 AirPlay mirroring bug...
    To make matters worse, the iPad automatically drops its mirroring session 45 seconds after it auto-locks.
    3-4 mirroring sessions is all it takes for the iPad mirroring to freeze up.
    After this happens, mirroring to an Apple TV only projects a blank screen.
    Once the mirroring is hung, the only way to fix it is to restart the iPad.
    Apple please fix this iOS 7 issue!

  • Mac OS 9 -  iTunes for iPod mini doesnt work,what do??

    last week i bought an iPod mini,but iTunes 4.7 which is on the iPod cd doesnt work (the iPod mini software also not),i think because my mac is too old.
    so were can i get iTunes plus the iPod mini software which runs on my macintosh?

    There is no version of iTunes for Mac OS 9 that will work with the iPod mini. The last version of iTunes for Mac OS 9 is version 2.04, and that will only work with first and second generation full-size iPods, plus third-generation full-size iPods which are running version 2.0x of the firmware. All third-generation iPods and iPod shuffles can be used as an external hard disk in the Finder. Mac OS 9's iPod updater will only work with first and second generation full-size iPods.

  • Menu of ipod mini isnt working

    The menu of my ipod mini isn't working. I have tried resetting it, and the menu comes back on, but I can't get back to it after I pick one song, I have to reset it again. Does any one know how to help me?

    Hi Kelly,
    My name is Nikki, and I have an Ipod mini that has recently started doing the same thing. I just spent some time looking through the Apple website and haven't found anything to address this issue. So as I am very unhelpful to you, I also am having the same problem. I just reset mine and played a song and it did take me back to the menu after playing a song, however; it is still plugged into my computer. Meanwhile, hopefully someone may be able to provide some answers, and I will let you know what happens in the next few days of using my mini. Goodluck.

  • IPod Mini Stop Working After 1 Year ?

    I've heard rumours that after a year of having your iPod Mini that the battery will stop working.
    I have had mine just under a year and The Battery is starting to play up.
    Can you please tell me whether the rumours are true and how I can fix my iPod.
    Thanks

    Alistair,
    If your iPod battery play time is really that bad, then my advice to you would be to send it off to Apple before the warranty runs out for a battery replacement.
    Fill out the service request.

    well first off I would contact apple and see what they say.. if they will fix it, how much it could/would cost etc. If they wont help you I suggest going with a ipod repair company.. something like www.ipodmods.com or www.ipodresq.com. Get in touch with them add see again if they are willing to look at it and how much it will/could cost..
    good luck.
