Display of iPod Nano 2nd Generation does not work. Only backlight - nothing else. Experiences?

The iPod still start and also plays music, but I can't see anything on the display.
I can see the backlight, but not more...
I have reinstalled, recovered and restarted the iPod.
The firmware and iTunes is at the newest version.
Anyone got experience with this? Is there a way to fix it?
Thanks for your help

Sounds like you have tried all of the regular troubleshooting.  So it points to an issue with your nano's LCD display.  You'll have want to have it repaired/replaced either by Apple or a third party repair company.

    My iPod touch 2nd generation does not sync my contacts. I only have iCloud contacts in my address book. How can i sync that?

    I do not fully understand you question.  To use iCloud on an iOS device requires iOS 5 and the 2G only goes to iOS 4.1.2 and thysyu can't access iCloud, including contacts.
    Maybe you could sync the iCloud contacts with anopther program and sync that program with the 2G iPod.
    The following smple states the following for Contacts:
    iCloud: What if my device or computer doesn't meet iCloud system requirements?
    Contacts
    If you want to check your iCloud Contacts, you can do so by visiting icloud.com from a Mac or PC (as long as it meets the browser system requirements for icloud.com).

  • My ipod nano 6th generation is not working anymore :( HELP

    I have an ipod nano 6th generation. Was working perfectly. One day I wake up and is showing me a screen I have never seen  before..It reads:N20 Snowfox 4A0432
    When I plug it, itunes doesnt recognize it. It recognized it once but it says problem 1621 and I follow the instructions but still my ipod is frozen and not even my computer can read it.
    I really miss my music for my morning run!

    Have a look at comment # 4 and 5 on this page iPod nano 6G diagnostic mode to get it out of this mode again.
    Pressing the volume minus button and power button should help.

  • HT1481 ipod shuffle 2nd generation, does not show up in window when plugged into itunes. Also, does not charge(no light comes on).

    I have a ipod shuffle (2nd generation) that won't light up when plugged in to the power adapter. I have only used it a few times since I purchased it years ago. Also, when I plug it into my computer with itunes running, it isn't recognized at all, as in nothing happens when I plug the usb cable with ipod attached and on to it. Any help would be much appreciated.

    but there is another unspecified error.
    What is that error?
    Are you sure she has a Shuffle? You mentioned a Sad Face.. that would indicate that the iPod has a display, which a Shuffle does not.

  • IPod Touch (2nd gen) - Does not work with Component AV Cable

    I have a 2nd generation iPod Touch. Today I bought the component AV cable at the Apple store (along with a universal dock). Connected it correctly to the TV and:
    1. No picture (screen is blue, as though nothing connected); no sound (whether video or music)
    2. Whatever video is playing on the actual iPod gets stuck - as though it is on "pause", with the difference that you can push "play" and "pause" and the only thing that does is change the "play" or "pause" icon from one to the other or vice-versa--video will not actually play
    3. Setting Widescreen to "on" or "off" has no effect
    4. Tried connecting it to an old iPod Nano (2nd gen I think) - also no sound.
    Please advise!

    Alex_K
    Try changeing your TV out setting, found in the (Settings) of your ipod. Following Paragraph found in the iPod User manual (Page 98): http://support.apple.com/manuals/#ipodtouch
    "Use these settings to set up how iPod touch plays videos on your TV. For more
    information about using iPod touch to play videos on your TV, see “Watching Videos
    on a TV” on page 39.
    Turn widescreen on or off: Choose Video and turn Widescreen on or off.
    Set TV signal to NTSC or PAL: Choose Video > TV Signal and select NTSC or PAL.
    NTSC and PAL are TV broadcast standards. iPod touch displays NTSC 480p/PAL 576p
    when attached to a TV using a component cable, or NTSC 480i/PAL 576i using a
    composite cable. Your TV might use either of these, depending on where you bought
    it. If you’re not sure which to use, check the documentation that came with your TV. "
    Hope that helps,
    Weston

  • HT1238 ipod shuffle 2nd generation does not appear in Reset Utility window.

    Hi there! I'm seeking some advice for repairing an old ipod shuffle.
    My mom's 2nd generation iPod shuffle suddenly will not appear on her computer. She is using windows vista (sad face). I ran all the reccommeded troubleshooting suggestions, but still can't repair the disk.
    When connected to the original computer (windows vista), the charging light comes on but the disk does not appear anywhere on the computer. I ran the diagnostics and it apparently has the most updated software, but there is another unspecified error.
    When I tried to run the repair suggestions on my own computer, i can't get the disk to show anywhere....the charging light will not even come on.
    Any other suggestions I might have overlooked?

    but there is another unspecified error.
    What is that error?
    Are you sure she has a Shuffle? You mentioned a Sad Face.. that would indicate that the iPod has a display, which a Shuffle does not.

  • TS1410 My ipod nano 2nd generation is not recognized anymore by iTunes 11.1.5 whereas it was recognized by previous version of itunes

    Hi,
    I encounter a problem with my ipod nano (2 nd generation) because it not recognized anymore by itunes. When I say not recognized I mean that the ipod does not appear in the devices field of itunes. I do not know exactly when this problem appeared : i do not synchronize often my ipod but before with my macbook pro the synchronisation worked. iTunes sees others devices such as my iphone 5 and iPhone 4 with respectively iOS 7 and iOS 6.0.1. My macbook pro is updated with Maverick  10.9.2 and itunes is the 11.5.5 version. My MacBook pro is from 2009. With previous version of iTunes I know that my ipod could be synchronized.
    I did not find any solution on the Apple Support, so I decided to send this post. If someone already encountered this problem and found th solution it would be very helpful ....

    Hello, Jonny-CH.

  • HT1369 IPod Nano 6th generation sync not working

    I've run all the diagnostics, troubleshooting, reset the device.  Device shows as being connected to computer and network.  But, fails sync test.  Help!!...Thanx...Michael

    If a restore of the device to factory settings in iTunes, did not resolve the issue, it points to a hardware issue with the display's backlight. This means you'll need to take or send your iPod in for service either to Apple or a third party service.  Here is Apple's pricing.
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/prices/
    Google "iPod Nano repair" for third party service centers who would actually replace the damage part.

  • My iPod Nano 3rd generation is not working HELP!!!

    I was listening to my iPod in the car, and right after i watched a music video, it stopped working!! First, i couldn't see the album artwork on the coverflow, and then, when a watched a video, nothing happened. I listened to a song, but it didn't work! I turned it off for a while and still it didn't work. My guess is that my earphones had something to do with it, because when i got home, only one side was working!! I need help ASAP!!!!!! Thanks for reading my problem!!!!

    First of all this is the wrong forum. You need to repost in this forum http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=154
    Second I would try and restore your Nano.
