Can you get an ipod touch 2nd gen working after a short circuit?

I was replacing the screen on my 2nd gen iPod touch, and when I was trying to lift the screen (not the glass, the display) out I accidentally and stupidly touched two chips (I think)on the board in the bottom left (the top two of the set of three brown and silver ones) together with a metal ended screwdriver, it made a quiet high pitched noise and then I couldn't turn on the display ( by pressing the lock button) , I would've turned the iPod off before hand but the touchscreen didn't work at all so I couldn't and looking back at it I really should've just waited until the battery died. But I didn't :(. Please help.

thanks, i actually checked it this morning and it was coming on to the low battery connect to power screen but the screen looked all messed up, i dont know if this was because of the short circuit or because of when i tried to take the screen out after i had short circuited it, either way i have to replace it anyway as it already had dead pixels, the reason i as this is because i dont know wether the other screen will work normally if i put it in, i dont want to fit it to find out it doesnt work.

  • How can i fix my IPOD TOUCH 2ND Gen Battery!Please help

    Help! I dont know what happened buht wen i tried to Use my Ipod This morning It Didnt Work!! I tried every thing nothing works! Wont even charge Nothing COMES  up. Please help i DONT have money to send it to Apple because they pay to much . If you can help thank you

    the 2nd gen ipod battery is not easy for beginners to replace themselves.  It needs to be soldered.  so if you dont want to give it to apple to fix because they are too expensive you can try another company that you send it to them, they fix it and you get it back.

  • Can't connect my Ipod Touch 2nd gen to home wireless network - please help

    I have just received a 2G ipod touch today and it will not connect to my home network. I have a SKY Netgear router with numerous devices wirelessly connected with WPA security. I have input the shared network key when my Ipod asks for a password but it will not connect (even if I am stood next to my router). I just get "Unable to join the network .........". I have tried connecting via the 'other' network route but still the same result. Please help.

    Here's a few things you can do to get to the bottom of the problem:
    - Have you ever connected to a public hotspot? The only reason I ask is this will rule out hardware problems. If you are not close to anything, download and install the free app WiFinder from the app store. Once you have the app installed, you see what networks are around you. If nothing is working, contact Apple and either visit the Genius Bar or return it Apple.
    - If you have disabled encryption in your router and you are still be prompted for a password, you need to tap on that network name and tap Forget Network. And to really make sure everything is cleaned out, go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network settings.
    - After your iPod restarts, use WiFinder to find your network. WiFinder will tell you whether or not you have encryption on or off and the type of encryption used. If it is still off, just tap the Connect button. If you have turned it back on, go to Settings > WiFi > Other network and enter your network name. You will be prompted for your encryption scheme and your password. WPA and WPA2 should have a password entered. WEP should have the hex key entered.
    - If you still can't connect, I would check and reenter my password. Passwords are case sensitive.
    - Assuming you have connected, tap the blue arrow (>) next to your network name. You should see your IP address, subnet mask, router IP address, and DNS router addresses, you are good to go.
    - If you have an IP address of 169.x.x.x, your router is not supplying an IP address. Recommend router settings are:
    SSID - on
    DHCP - on
    MAC filtering - off
    Encryption - on and set to WPA or WPA2
    DNS - automatic from ISP
    Let us know what happens.

  • Can you get your ipod touch screen fixed for free if its the first time that is broke?

    my friend broke her ipod screen and she took it into apple and they fixed it for free so can i get my fixed for free.

    If someone breaks part of their device (intentionally or otherwise) it is not covered by the 1 year warranty so I'm not sure why she would have had it fixed for free.
    If you are interested in finding out repair pricing make an appointment with a Mac Genius at an Apple store or contact AppleCare via phone.
    Cheers.

  • I can't get my iPod touch 3rd gen to connect to my WRT120N

    For some reason my iPod touch 3rd generation will not connect and it is driving me crazy!!! Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    When you are trying to connect to your wireless network on your iPod are you getting any error message?
    Whats the wireless settings you have setup on your router (SSID, Channel, Security Mode). Is the Wireless MAC filtering is Enable on your router or not? Whats the current firmware on your router?

  • How can i get my ipod touch 4th gen out of recovery mode if my home button isn't working?

    i am not interested in fixing my home button myself. the ipod is 2.5 years old and the home button seems to be pushed in too far so it will not work and i  was updating an app when it went into recovery mode. i have tried all of the tutorials on YouTube and none have worked. i tried pressing the home and sleep buttons until the apple logo appeared, it did but less than a second later, it went back to the "connect to itunes" screen. please help

    The only way to get an iPod out of recovery mode is to connect it to iTunes and restoring to a previous back up.  If there is no back up the data will be lost.  Hope this helps!

  • Where can i get an ipod touch holder for working out but not an armband looking more towards waistline

    im not looking for an armband due to fact that they dont fit my arms so im looking for something that i can put/clip on my sweats waist line to hold ipod touch. if i cant find anything then i suppose i can resort to wireless headphones/buds

    Venom, I use a Griffin Survivor it's a full case, Note; it is waterproof not watertight-- drop it in the pond and your iPod will get wet. Overall works very well, have knocked the "stuffing" out of it, so far it has protected my iPod 5 from falls, drops (that should have broken the screen more than one time), a 6 year old, rain and snow. Also does a great job of keeping dust, dirt, sweat off the iPod. The belt clip locks shut, or can be opened to clip onto waist band or pocket opening. Fairly heavy spring keeps it in place. An added function the clip can be locked full open and it acts as a stand like a picture frame or you can remove it altogether. If you do decide to get one, get disposable screen protectors, cut then to fit the window of the survivor. the window is plastic and scratches easy. The protector does not interfere with function, when it gets scratched up peel it off and replace with a fresh one. They come in many colors, mine is black and day glow yellow, makes it easy to find! Found mine at Walmart, the're easy to find. Good luck, Cheers.
    (Sorry for the commercial; but it is a good case!)

  • IPod Touch 2nd Gen. sync after restore

    Authorized new hard drive for iTunes. Did backup then restored from back up, transferred previously purchased library to iPod Touch. Following restore, all purchased music, downloaded CDs AND games remained on the iPod Touch. Good so far.....then tried to sync device so all downloaded CDs would go out to the iTunes library, but got the message "iPod Touch is synched with another iTunes library. Do you want to erase his iPod and sync with this iTunes library? An iPod can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time. Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this iPod with the contents of this iTunes library." Don't want to lose the games and downloaded CD songs but sounds like that will happen if I click "Erase and Sync". Any suggestions on how to keep the games, etc.? Should I just ignore the message? Will that cause other problems? Thanks!

    - Transfer non-iTune purchassed muic to the computer by using a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
    Copy music from Ipod to new computer...: Apple Support Communities
    - After everthing is on the "new" computer, connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking one the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
    - Restore the iod from that backup.

  • IPod Touch 2nd Gen borked after failed OS update in iTunes

    My iTouch was working fine with my PC (Windows 7 64bit) and iTunes (9.1.1.12).
    I was upgrading the OS on my iTouch 2nd gen to the latest version (3.1.3???) via iTunes and the update failed after ~5 mins. The iTouch will now no longer turn on, I have tried resetting (hold sleep and power) but nothing I do can get the iTouch to power on.
    Connecting to windows I get "Unknown USB device" and "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)".
    Updating the USB device driver to the apple driver usbaapl64.inf I get "This device cannot start".
    any advice would be appreciated.

    I have received a new iTouch in the post , worked fine with OS 2.1.2.
    I need to update to OS3 so I installed iTunes on a different computer (laptop) with Windows 7 (32 bit) ... and ... the same thing happened. Update ends with notification of a device in restore mode, restore fails twice, and on the second time the PC no longer recognises to iTouch and can't install the drivers, the iTouch itself will no longer turn on.
