Blank screen on my ipod classic, help? please

My ipod classic has just a blank white screen. I've let it die and recharged it, still blank. I've reset it to factory settings and it's still blank. I've done the press and hold with the menu/center buttons, and that doesn't even work. anyone have any ideas?

For a fully discharged iPod battery, you need at least half an hour of recharging before the screen will come back to life, if the screen is working.
So leave it connected to a PC high power USB 2.0 port or wall charger,  and check the display after one hour, see what is on the screen,  a charging sign or still no display.
To Reset after your charging is complete, Press Menu and Center Button for 10 secs till the Apple logo comes ON, of course, if the LCD screen is dead, this wont help you.
Good Luck!

  • All Music and Video gone from Ipod classic - help please.

    I unplugged my ipod from my work pc yesterday and found that all the music and video have apparently been erased.
    I've plugged it back in this morning in the hope that an xml file needs rebuilding somewhere and itunes is showing my ipod as empty, even the pc thinks there is 150gb+ space on there. Sharepod also thinks it's empty.
    The strange thing being that some old photos that were on there have remained. I don't use the sync feature and unfortunately my back up external disk which contains my music library is in another country at the moment.
    Have my files gone forever?

    Sounds like the directory holding the music has been erased. Odd that it still had some photos. An undelete/unformat software might be able to rebuild most of your files from "free" sections of the disc that haven't yet had anything new written into them. If you can recover the files to the point that they are taking up space on the iPod's drive (or they can be copied to another drive) there are other posts that help with rebuilding them into a library.
    There probably are some suitable free tools out there if you can wade through all the "free" recovery tools that are only free up until the point of any actual recovery.... Otherwise shell out a little cash or wait until you can be reunited with your backup.

  • All of my playlists made on my Ipod touch 3rd gen keep disappearing when I sync it to itunes. Drivng me crazy. All software up to date on both itunes and Ipod. Help please.

    All of my playlists made on my Ipod touch 3rd gen keep disappearing when I sync it to itunes. Drivng me crazy. All software up to date on both itunes and Ipod. Help please.
    I tend to make my playlists right on my ipod. This did not happen for the last 2 years. Just started recently. Did get a new computer recently.

    That is because you got a new computer. You can only sync all media from one syncing computer. You can sync from any computer to iPod using the manual method but that does not sync from iPod to computer.
    To make this your syncing computer:

  • Itunes freezes when i connect my ipod classic 120GB, please help

    hello,
    I got a problem with my itunes/ipod, I believe it's my ipod.
    My Itunes freezes when i connect my ipod to my computer (windows 7 Professional, latest version of itunes),
    it started when i've connected my ipod to itunes and I just plugged it out when it was syncronizing.
    after that my whole content (music, pic's, video's) are deleted. The default stuff is the only thing what's left on it.
    And now every time I connnect my ipod classic my itunes freezes. I've installed itunes on my new computer but it keeps doing nothing..
    I've tried the support pages from apple but I just can't fix this problem, please help.

  • TS4223 In the iCloud column of my iTunes television section, it lists my shows as "ineligible" and doesn't show them at all on my iPod classic. Please help!

    In the iCloud column of my iTunes television section, it lists my shows as "ineligible," and on my iPod Classic, won't show that I have any television shows. Can someone help, please?

    kinmdchaney,
    The solution to this thread should also fix your situation.
    Here they are layed out for you. Try these in order until your issue is resolved:
    1. Reset the Device:
    Hold the power button and the home button down until the device shuts off,  then power it back on and see if the problem is resolved.
    2. Put the device in DFU mode:
    Connect the device to iTunes
    Hold both the power button and the home button down simultaneously
    After 10 seconds, release the power button but leave the home button pressed
    iTunes should then recognize that the device has entered DFU mode and ask to restore.
    3. Put the device into recovery mode:

    Have you already tried these recommendations but to no avail?
    4. Try draining your device and charge it back up for about 10 minutes or more, then try step 2 or 3 again.
    I hope this helps you out.
    Sincerely,
    ~Lt. Leviathan

  • My mac will restart & show Blue Screen when plugged ipod classic into my mac

    When i plugged ipod into my mac and i put to the Disk Mode my ipod , the computer will restart & don't let me to restore my ipod !!!! Please help and give me a solution !!!
    My ipod & mac info :
    iPod Classic 160gb (2009)
    Mac Book Pro (2011)
    iTunes 11.1.3

    If your computer is  a 2011, you can stop the blue screen by turning off graphic card switching.  Under apple, system preferences, energy, uncheck box.  Temporary fix.  Your logic board may need to be replaced if you are under warranty or have apple care otherwise $1000.00.  May be software or firmware problem but apple has provided no info.  Replacing logic board has corrected problem for some users and not others.  Everything I've mentioned only applies to 2011 MBPs.

  • White screen on my ipod classic

    Can anyone please help me????? I brought an album from itunes and copied it onto my ipod classic as usual, then the ipod's screen went white. Now it will only turn off. I have tried the reset thing with toggling the hold button and menu/centre but it has made no difference. DOes this mean i will loose everything on my ipod? PLease can someone help, i am desperate......

    Most likely, its time to have the iPod screen replaced.
    But if you are lucky, it is some memory overflow, try to Hard Reset the  iPod  as below- this does not delete or erase any song or data.
    After charging till full charge, at least 2 hours (preferably 4 hours)
    Toggle the Hold switch, make sure you dont see the red mark when you do the  next step
    Reset the iPod -> Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about 10 secs till the Apple Logo comes ON
    Then release the buttons
    Select your preferred language.
