Bright white Screen on 30GB IPOD

I bought a 30GB IPOD about three months ago. I was carrying the IPOD in my pocket with a radio tuner attached to it. I wasn't using the thing. I didn't run or even sit on it. It was in my pocket for about 5 minutes. When I took it out the screen was bright white. That's it, nothing else on it. I hooked it up to the computer. It doesn't even recognise it. The controls don't do any thing either. Anyone got any ideas?

wait til the batteries run out. then connect it back to your comp.
Or try the 5 R's
1. Reset your iPod.
2. Retry with a different USB port.
3. Restart your computer.
4. Reinstall iPod and iTunes software.
5. Restore your iPod.
i'd go for the first option though

  • I have a bright white screen when turning on my ipod nano 7th gen.  Have tried resetting etc etc. Any further ideas?

    I have a bright white screen when turning on my nano 7th gen. Have tried resetting and restoring settings - no change. Any ideas please?

    Hello pipworms,
    I would be concerned too if my iPod nano's was just showing a white screen.  I recommend following the steps below:
    Display shows a white screen
    Try putting the iPod into disk mode:
    Reset the device (Reset the device by pressing the Sleep and Home buttons simultaneously until the display shows the Apple logo. This should take about eight seconds).
    When the Apple logo appears, press and hold 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.
    I got this information from the following article for the 6th generation iPod nano.  The steps are the same, except I updated the reset steps with the reset for the 7th generation iPod nano:

  • My iPod touch only has a bright whit screen restrain doesn't fix it

    My ipod touch only has a bright white screen .Restoring doesnt fix it

    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 usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Bright White Screen.

    My Ipod Nano was working fine. I turned it off, and went to bed. The next morning I got up and turned it on. All that showed was a bright white screen. I reset it a couple of times, I pluged it up to the USB port, and I let it die completely. None of those things helped to fix my Ipod. It was not dropped and it did not get wet. All I did was set it down. When plugged up to the computer the computer will recognize it, but then it won't, yet after that it accepts it again. Does anybody have any words of wisdom? Does anybody think Apple will fix it?

    Try this:
    When your iPod comes up with the white screen, hold the center and menu buttons simultaneously until the screen goes black, then immediately hold the center and left (rewind) buttons. A menu should come up that shows you a few options. If this menu comes up, it might just mean that your internal storage is dead. If nothing comes up, then you might have a total hardware failure. If it is just the storage, the repair should cost less than buying a new nano or having an Apple Genius go in and repair multiple components. You might be able to attempt the repair yourself, but I really do not recommend that.

  • White screen on 3g iPod nano - nothing working!

    My son's 3rd gen iPod Nano has been 'dead' for a few weeks. I first fully charged it, thinking that was the issue.
    Now, when I click on the menu button, it wakes up but is just a blank, white screen which turns off after a few seconds.
    I've done a reset (menu+center click for 8 seconds), which resets it to a medium gray screen with no logo or text on it. After several seconds, it then goes to the bright white screen.
    I can connect it to iTunes and have attempted a system restore, but that never completes its process.
    It almost seems like it's screen brightness setting has been scaled to its highest end?
    Next stop may be the Genius Bar if I can't restore/fix this.

    This exact thing has happened to my Ipod too. I tried replacing the battery. That didn't work. I was told you are supposed to put it in Disk mode, but you can only do that when you reset it, and since it won't reset...

    Try a hard reset. If that does not work, let the battery completely drain, recharge and test.

  • I'm getting a white screen on my iPod . How do I fix it?

    I'm getting a white screen on my iPod . How do I fix it?

    This could be the result of a few different things.  A damaged LCD screen, corruption in the iPod's software, or a loose LCD ribbon cable.  If a restore of the iPod in iTunes does not take care of the issue, then the iPod likely needs to be serviced.

  • Mountain lion really bright white screen on boot?

    Since I installed Mountain Lion I can't seem to get rid of the really bright white screen with Apple logo at bootup.
    I RESET the PRAM and it will work for one boot and then go back to the really bright screen burning my irises out.
    It can't be the battery because my computer keeps the time and date correctly.
    I have also checked the STARTUP Disc and that is working right too. I even tried redoing permissions through Disk Utility and that didn't help.
    Anyone have any ideas on this one?
    Thanks.

    Anyone have a answer to this?

  • IPhone frozen/no brightness/white screen

    So yesterday it start with my iphone telling me that I needed to connect to iTunes and restore because I couldn't make or receive calls. I reset it, and seemed OK. I later tried to play doodle jump, which crashed upon opening, so I reinstalled it to no avail. I discovered this morning that wasn't just doodle jump, but all 3rd party apps. It also went through stages of not turning on, telling me to restore it, and still having an image on the screen but there was absolutely no brightness to it, and instead of the screen going black when I press the sleep button on top, I would get a bright white screen. Giving up on resets, I came home from school and restored it, and it worked perfectly. Now it's 5.5 hours later and it just froze, unfroze, and had no brightness. I reset it, and now it wont turn on.
    Any suggestions? Thanks

  • Bright white screen when video is paused.

    Hello All,
    I've looked everywhere for a solution to this problem and there has been no previous discussion. Basically, whenever the Video is paused, instead of the paused frame being shown, there is a bright white screen. It is worth nothing that this issue happens when I use the Darwin Streaming server. If I serve the video using IIS, the issue is not present.
    This issue using the  Quicktime plugin is present in Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and IE.
    If someone could push me in the right direction, it would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.
