Corners of screen on Touch 2G are white

I apologize if this has already been answered, but I did a search and couldn't find it. I wasn't sure which keywords to use.
Three of the corners of my Touch 2G's screen have started turning white. Right now, it's pretty faint, though one (bottom left) shows up more than the others. That one shows all the time, unless something on the screen is very light.
Is this normal, or something I should be concerned about? The device works fine otherwise (well, except the iOS 4 battery drain issue), but it is distracting, and I don't know if it will get worse. I can't even say when it started, but I just started noticing it recently.
I have done a full reset of the device, and that didn't change anything. I have the latest iOS installed.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I have an external warranty (it's past the original Apple warranty) on the device, but don't know if I should go that route.
Thanks for taking the time to read this, even if you can't help.

It sounds like you have an issue with some pixels on that screen. I'm afraid that screen would need to be replaced to fix it 100%. You could try some of these suggestions to see if it helps.

  • Display has white and grey lines and blocks crisscrossing it and touch functions are not working properly on half the screen.

    I dropped my iPhone 5S and it landed flat on it's face (it was in a protective case).  Since then my touch screen display is not working properly. I have white and grey lines and/or blocks crisscrossing the screen both horizontally and vertically.  Screen responds to touch in odd random ways, but rarely does what I am trying to do.  Can't call or receive calls because can't dial or answer phone via swipe. Can't text or read incoming texts. All functions seem to be working except that I can't access them because the touch screen is acting up. If I move the phone around it randomly accesses different apps or functions, but I have no control over them once the appear on the screen.  Touching screen just causes phone to randomly choose something else to open.  What have I damaged?

    We cannot possibly tell. Obviously some hardware inside. Take it in to an Apple Store. They will offer you the opportunity to swap the phone for $269 in the US. Prices vary by country.

  • My ipod touch screen froze on a blank white page and won't let me connect to itunes what to do?

    It works for many users. In some cases the white screen is due to a hardware problem and there is nothing that one can do short of getting someonet to know what they are doing and take the iPod apart andmaybe fix the hardware problem.

  • White Screened Ipod Touch

    My Ipod Touch 4th Generation has white screened. I can play music through the voice control and can hear other things but I only see the white screen. What should I do?

    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.
    - 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.

    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $199 for 64 GB one and $99 for the others. They do not fix yours.

  • All I have on my I pod touch is a white screen with multicolored lines going across screen.  What do I need to do.  I can't use I tunes because it says I have to have passcode and can't get screen to come up.  I have already tried holding both keys down.

    - See if placing the iPod in Recovery mode will allow a restore.. It bypasses the passcode (and erases the iPod)
    - Next try DFU mode

  • Upgraded to Mavericks now iTunes screen is a negative. Background is black and titles etc. are white. How do I reverse it?

    Upgraded to Mavericks now iTunes screen is a negative. Background is black and titles etc. are white. How do I reverse it?

    Hello Tarpon471,
    It sounds like your desktop is otherwise colored normally, but the colors in iTunes are inverted. I was thinking it is possible that a 3rd party plugin may be causing an issue with iTunes since the upgrade to Mavericks.

  • White screen ipod touch 4th

    hi

    to hold the home button and the power button down at the same time and restore from itunes But the screen stays white
    I replaced a few screens but it does not work
    sorry for my bad english
    please help
    thank you

    Let the battery fully drain. After charging for at least an hour try:

    If it is doing this after yu replaced the screen it could be do to a error you made or soething is wrong besides the screen

  • Select all the text on a page by touching an area that is white space

    I have read that you can select all the text on a page by touching an area that is white space, for example at the edge of a column. Sometimes this works for me, but most of the time it does not. Should it? Is there more to it? Is this a documented gesture?
    I want to be able to select all the text in a long page, where it would be very tedious to drag the copy handles. This would be the equivalent of CMD A on a computer.

    Yea, thanks, I've read that. It doesn't cover selecting all the text in one gesture, which is what I want to be able to do. This doesn't seem to be covered.
    I've been fooling around since I wrote the first post, and discovered that if you tap and hold to display the selection buttons (as noted in your quote) and then drag one of the blue selection buttons to the top (or bottom) of the text, then the other button will jump to the bottom (or top) and you have effectively selected all the text. This is what I wanted to do.
    The reason I wanted to do it is so I can select all the text in an article that I want to read, then copy and paste it into an app I just got, Speak it!, and then have the app read me the article while I get some exercise riding my stationary bike.

  • When i log onto safari the screen is grayed out and i no touch features are functioning

    when i log onto safari the screen is grayed out and i no touch features are functioning

    Try clearing Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cache (and Clear History)
    If that doesn't work then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

    My icons are white for most of my apps on my iPod touch. How do I fix it?

    Try a reset.  It worked here:

    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
