Constant White Screen and Only Recognized by iTunes in Disk Mode

My 5th Gen iPod fell out of my pocket and even though it was in a case all I get is a blank white screen. No matter what I do, it remains that way. The battery still holds a charge and the white screen will last for hours. I've noticed that if I hold the Menu and Select buttons, the iPod turns off and I can hear the clicking noises when I push a button. It does reset, but only to the same white screen. If I put the iPod in forced disk mode, it is registered perfectly by iTunes and Windows, but it remains non-functional otherwise. If I try and connect the iPod to the computer without being in disk mode, it is registered by Windows but does not show up in iTunes or Windows Explorer.
I have restored the iPod several times, however, no matter what I do, it always returns to the blank white screen. If I run a diagnostics in iTunes in forced disk mode, I get an error and iTunes shuts down.
I would appreciate any help!

This is the only support document with information on error 4005. It seems to be a disconnect error, and can happen for any reason. The diagnostics they use at Apple do not always provide the information about why, just that there is a hardware error. Any number of things can go wrong with electronics. I'm sorry I could not be any more specific, but then, neither could Apple.

  • IPod touch 3rd gen stuck on white screen and not recognized in iTunes

    So basically I dropped my iTouch in water, removed it and left in a bag of rice for 2 weeks and now the screen is a gray/white colorway and won't show up in iTunes. I've tried doing a hard reset but I can't see if that even works or has done anything. Does anybody have any ideas or solutions for me!?

    Apple doesn't repair it.  If there is no sign of abuse, they replace it with a refurbished unit.  The fixed-price for non-warranty replacements can be found here.

    My Macbook Pro is frozen on the login page with a white screen and only my login picture. How do I fix this? I can't turn it off and I closed it and let it charge but it's still not working. It's only 3 months old and was working perfectly fine 30min before this happened.

    Hello Kierasully,
    I would start your troubleshooting with the article below for issues of not being able to log in to your Mac. Start with booting up in to Safe Boot as well as resetting PRAM on your Mac. If that does not work, then verify the hard drive with booting to the Recover HD and go to Disk Utility to verify it.

  • My ipod has a white screen and wont connect to itunes

    I tried to fix it by holding the home and wake buttens for 30-40 seconds but it stil didn't work. It also wont connect to itunes. Any ideas?

    Try the remaining items of:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - 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.
    - Try another cable       
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • IPad stopped working, only recognized by iTunes in DFU Mode

    A1459 iPad (4th generation) Wi-Fi + Cellular
    A week ago, I was watching Netflix on my iPad. The screen went blue and then the device completely stopped working.
    All I can do is put the device in DFU Mode and attempt to restore. I get the same result every time
    "The iPad could not be restored. an unknown error occurred (4005)."
    I brought it into the Apple store, where they could not provide any information as to why the device stopped working.
    I am just curious at this point and trying to figure out what could have caused this. I purchased it 2 years ago, used it on the train commuting to and from the city and for the last year it was used lightly at home for browsing the internet and watching movies.

  • White screen and computer and iTunes will not recognize

    I was attempting to install the update, when my computer and iTunes stopped recognizing the iPhone. Now it is stuck on a white screen, and I can't do anything. Help, please!

    Hi,
    Try restarting the iPhone by holding the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears> then slide to turn off> and turn the iPhone back on by pressing the Sleep/Wake again, as described on page 46 of the iPhone User Guide.
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/iPhoneUserGuide.pdf
    If you cannot restart the iPhone, try resetting it by holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple logo as described here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305743
    If the issue persists, try putting the iPhone into recovery mode as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

  • White screen and constant beeping

    I have a 2011 macbook pro.  This morning when I powered it on all I get is a white screen and constant beeping sound.  The beeping goes away after about 2 minutes.  Then there is a folder with a flashing ?.  Is this something I can take care of at home or do I need to take it in to an apple store?

    I noted that nowhere in that article is beeping mentioned.
    Instead of seeing the Finder or the login window after startup, your computer may stop responding and the display may only show a persistent gray screen (you may also see an Apple logo, spinning gear, spinning globe, prohibitory sign, or a folder with a flashing question mark on it). Note: The below steps may not apply if a blue screen appears during start up.

  • HT203167 I pre-ordered and downloaded Justin Timberlake's 20/20 Experience album through iTunes, but the only file I see is an LP which opens up a special screen and only plays 1 song (Mirrors). Where can I find the rest of my album?!

    How do I find the rest of the songs from Justin Timberlake's new album? I preordred it-it is listed in my purchases on itunes, but the only thing listed on my "music" is the album title that opens a special screen and only plays mirrors!

    Step by step, how did you arrive at seeing this agreement?

  • Not used my G5 Powermac (late 2004) for ages. Only boots in with Installation disk, but colour dots on white screen and message comes up to reboot machine. Nothing happens.

    Not used my G5 Powermac (late 2004) for  about 2 years. Was going to set it up for the lads to do school work.
    However it only boots in with Installation disk, but colour dots on white screen and message comes up to reboot machine. However nothing happens apart from me keep trying. Also the numerous fans get louder and louder and louder.....
    Any ideas folks

    Can you please provide details on the exact model?
    For a start, the PRAM battery is likely dead.  PRAM tells the computer which drive to start with, other basic information.  Still, you can usually get the computer to start, though bad PRAM is unpredictable and could be stopping that.
    Some computer models use software to control cooling fans.  If there's no software commands they automatically go into high speed to prevent overheating.  Your software obviously isn't loading, so runaway fans.

    Hey terremo,
    Thanks for the question. From the information you provided, it sounds like the iMac is successfully turning on, however video is not displayed. These symptoms can usually be isolated further by the troubleshooting steps in this article:
