HELP! my ipod touch has white screen

My ipod touch 4th gen has all of a sudden stopped working.. it went on the the black screen with the apple icon on it and then it wont turn off. i have tried to restore/restart it but it wont work and i cant get it to switch off untill the battery dies.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • 4th gen ipod touch has white screen

    I have a 4th generation Ipod touch. The screen turned white all of a sudden for no reason. I've tried holding buttons letting it die and plugging it back in but the white screen is still there.It still makes noise. like the other day it was making a noise like someone was calling it. Then if I press the sleep/wake button and home button it takes a picture and I can hear the noise but still have the white screen. Does anyone know what I can do? Thanks

    try one of these ways:
    > restore you iDevice with iTunes in Recovery Mode (if you have to... back up your device before restoring)
    > let the battery go completely dead.... then plug it using USB to PC or Mac OS
    > replace the LCD with www.ifixandrepair.com
    > go to the Apple Store (official store not retail) and see what they can do. they can replace your device for refurbished price

  • Ipod  touch has white screen and not responding

    screen is white and not responding

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely.  Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

  • Ipod touch has white screen

    Have tried to restore twice and have held the two buttons down for 30 seconds... no fix... it is charged and it has not been dropped or had any liquids on it... any help is appreciated...

    You may have a major disconnection, defective Liquid Crystals, or, less likely, an operating system error. You will have to talk to Apple.

  • Ipod Touch 32gb white screen

    Hello, earlier today I was listening to my ipod, then all of a sudden the screen turned white. Everytime I turn my ipod on/off i still get the blank white screen.
    I have checked other message boards and tried holding the menu and power button to restart it, but I still get the white screen. I've also checked apple's FAQ for the white screen problem http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2771 and my problem still persists.
    I just did a system restore on my ipod but it is still not working.
    I am just wondering if there are any other things that I could do to fix this. I am currently trying to drain the battery life to see if that will do anything.
    I would only call apple and ask them to repair it as a last resort, because I do not want to spend $100+ just to get it fixed.
    Is there anything else that I could try and do? If anyone has any helpful suggestions, please share them with me. Again, I would consider calling apple and getting it fixed by them as a last resort.
    Thanks for reading

    If no change after restoring your iPod Touch with iTunes as a new iPod Touch or not from the backup, your iPod Touch has a hardware problem.

  • 6th gen ipod nano has white screen and won't go into disc mode

    My ipod nano has a white screen - it will play music, and it is recognized by itunes. It won't enter disc mode. I can't seem to find any other helpful steps to follow online other than put it into disc mode and restore it via itunes. When I attempt to put it into disc mode holding power/Vol down together the screen will turn back, but when I then hold down Vol down/Vol up together while the screen is dark it just goes back to white screen. I did plug it into the computer and restore it via itunes, and the screen is still white.  Any ideas?  Thanks!

    Hi LizS5,
    It sounds as if you have already done much of the troubleshooting suggested in this article, but I would suggest you work through it in order to get your iPod nano back up and running -
    iPod nano (6th generation): Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3474
    Specifically -
    Try putting the iPod into disk mode:
    Reset the device (press the Sleep and Volume Down buttons simultaneously until the display turns black—about eight seconds).
    When the display turns black, hold down 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.
    And if the issue is not resolved -
    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
    For information on servicing your iPod, go to the iPod Service FAQ
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • IPod Touch displaying white screen

    I went on an app [called My Horse] and it displayed the loading screen like usual, then it froze like it has before, usually resetting the my ipod works to fix it. I set it down gently to let it load, and it suddenly displayed a white screen, then a opaque black overlay went over the light.
    I tried holding the lock/unlock and the home button for at least two minutes, and it still didn't do anything.
    I hooked it up to itunes, itunes doesn't register the fact that it's plugged in.
    Any ideas of what's wrong? Is it completly dead?
    It's not jailbroken and nothing has been messed with, I usually only visit wikipedia and twitter and use it for listening to pandora on it.
    It's been sitting on a white screen for a while now
    I really don't want to reset it, and I couldn't anyway because itunes won't register it as plugged up.

    Try the white-screen topic of the following. However, it is frequently a hardware problem.

    What does that mean?
    You turned it off, screen went black and when you turned it back on, screen went white again??
    Or maybe you never really turned it off?
    Hold the top button and the front button simultaneously for at least 10 seconds until Apple logo appears and then wait several minutes for it to boot up.
