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.

  • 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:

  • 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.

  • 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 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 on my Gen 4 ipod nano. I can still see text if I look hard enough, and it still plays music and stuff, but it's really hard to see.

    As described above, my screen is bright white, but it still plays music. It's really hard to see, and I've tried everything. I manually restarted it like 20 times, I updated software and reset it, and I've just waited. It's happened once before, but after I waited 20 minutes it worked, and that was 6 months ago. But this time, it seems to just stay with a white screen.
    If anybody knows what to do to solve this, and what caused this, please answer.

    Water damage is not covered, and I guess Apple tech will find out about it as soon as they open the device.

  • Mac OS 10.8.2 failed to update. Can only see white screen with spinning lines. Help?!

    I have just updated my Macbook Pro (Mid 2010) to Mac OS X 10.8.2. My computer restarted and now it won't load back up again. All I see is a bright white screen with a spinning/flashing lines that you get when Safari loads a new page. I've left it on for 20 minutes and still the white screen remains. Does this mean I have to book an appointment with the Genius Bar?

  • IPod shows white screen or dark

    My 5th generation (60gb) iPod shows a bright white screen, so I have done de steps listed in other threads, pressing center and menu buttons for a few secs, and after that the bright white screen goes gray and i push the center and play buttons. All this while plugged to macbook...and then it shows in iTunes. I have my music and I can play it, I can sync, etc...all in iTunes. I have restored it, and am running the latest iTunes software. Still my screen remains white or gray and cannot use the iPod if it's not plugged to the mac, since i can't see anything on the screen.
    Any suggestions? Is this common?

    well    This did not help me... The screen is still solid white and I can't get it to do anything in reference to restarting.   I can only look inside of the Ipod folder whenb my computer sees it when USB is plugged in.   Any other thoughts?

  • Macboom Air White Screen

    My daughters MacBook air (mid 2011 A1369) has more or less died. It turns on, fans spin up, but within a second or two goes to a bright white screen. No logos or anything else.
    There's no start up chime either. The keyboard seems fairly dead, no key commands work such as a PRAM reset, Command + R, safe boot  etc. The only thing that seems to work is a SMC reset and the power button to hold down to power off. If I press caps lock it won't light up.
    Plugging in USB devices only seem to get power for a few seconds after power on, then seem to go dead.
    I've tried taking the back off and disconnection the SSD, this makes no difference, just turns back on to the bright White Screen.
    The charger goes orange when plugged in, charges as normal and goes green if left for a few hours.
    Is this a case of a dead logic board or is there anything else worth trying? any help would be appreciated.
