Help. Screen won't work while charging directly through a wall socket

I need help. 3 months ago I bought an iPod Touch 5th Generation and was surprised it didn't have an adapter with it. So I've been charging through my pc since. Yesterday I bought a 10W USB Adapter and tried it out. It was charging but the thing is, when I started using the iPod while it was charging, the screen isn't that sensitive anymore. It would click on itself, sometimes it won't even work. I don't know what I should do. I spent a lot on this adapter I don't want it to be a waste. And also, would it be okay if I keep using this adapter, even if it means I can't use my ipod while charging, would it have any effect on my ipod in the long run? thanks so much guys in advance for your replies. Much appreciated.

    IOS7 installed OK to my iPhone 4S and worked OK for a while but I have somehow managed to completely jam my iPhone 4s. The touch screen won't work except for up and down gestures (some of the time). I can't make or answer calls, I can't even power if off. I can't access the hardward ID which Apple support seems to require for Chat.
    It might have happened when I was accessing my camera bypassing the lock screen!
    All I know is that the thing is now useless and it looks like I will have to wait for the battery to run down to see if powering it back up afterwards will solve the problem.

    I have since discovered the "hold down home key and power button" together for a few seconds and this seems to have worked .... phew!

  • My screen won't work, i have tried turning it off but i cant swipe the power down button because my screen doesnt work. I have only had my iphone 4s for one day and this has happened, someone please help me.

    Did the trick!  Not sure what I did to cause the screen to go numb, but this worked perfectly!!!  I cleaned the screen and must have inadvertently selected something that locked the screen.  This perfect solution kept me from having to run to the Apple Store.  Many thanks.

  • IPod screen won't work?

    so I opened up my ipod and reassembled it back, and then this happens. The iTouch does work, but the image of the ipod on the screen won't work? Help what do I do!!

    Seems like you have a bad connection or you broke a conductor in a ribbon cable. Or maybe a bad digitizer. ir logic board.

  • I drop my iPod on the floor and now I only can use the home and power button and the screen won't work

    I Drop my iPod on the floor and now the screen won't work but it looks perfect but when I touch it it doesn't do anything and the home and the power button work so can someone help

    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.

  • Screen mis-calibr​ated while charging

    Dialpad works fine unless I'm on a call.  If I'm on a call trying to type the number 5, it gives me 4 instead.  This happens consistently.
    UPDATE:  After testing multiple apps it seems the screen is mis-calibrated  while charging.  If I remove the charger from the phone screen behavior returns to normal.  I first thought you had to be on a call to make this behavior happen but it happens in the launcher too as long as the Pre is charging.

    That is strange. I do not get album art when the phone is locked and an album is playing. All my albums have album art too. I will reboot and try again, maybe it's a bug in iOS4.1?
    FIXED !!! -- I just rebooted my iPhone and now it works. Strange.

  • Satellite A300 - screen won't work sometimes

    Ok so first of all I want to start by telling you that I am a complete noob when it comes to computers, and also my native language is not english, but i'll try my best to make you understand my problem.
    Sometimes, when I try to turn on my laptop, the screen won't work. I hear the fan running, those little lights on the keyboard light up, but the screen just remains black...this happened for like 3 days until today, I got home and it magically worked. This same thing happened like a month ago...what is going on? :s

    On this virtual way it is not easy to offer exact diagnostic.
    What we can do here is nothing but speculation about possible reasons.
    A300 is not the newest model so there can be some problem with connection between mainboard and the display.
    Next time when this happen, try to move display or press gently the notebook below the display just to see if this will help or not.
    At the end I must say that only service can help you with this. With other words they can disassemble the notebook and check the display cable.

  • Iphone 6 plus fingerprint is not working while charging

    My iphone 6 plus fingerprint scan is not working while charging. Is this normal?
    I tried my iphone 5s and it works just fine even while charging.

    I think I got an answer to my own question
    If you're using generic lightning cable (non-original lighting cable), the fingerprint scan doesn't work while charging.
    I just find it weird as my iphone 5s works even if i'm not using the original lightning cable though.

  • Wifi only works while charging (2G)

    I previously thought that my WiFi was completely dead but it now appears to work perfectly when it's on charge. COuld this be a symptom of the battery needing replaced?

    OK...I tell a lie. It used to work while charging. Now it IS completely dead

    You are still under warranty.  Either call iPod tech support - U.S. iPod and Mac technical support: 1-800-APL-CARE (1-800-275-2273) or take the iPod Nano to an Apple store or an AASP.  Whichever is more convenient for you.

    I guess your definition of "solved" is different from most...
    Make an appointment at the genius bar of your local Apple Store and get an out of warranty replacement.

    Try resetting the iPod:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Next try connecting the iPod to your computer and restoring the iPod from backup via iTunes.
    - If itunes does not see the iPod, see if placing the iPod in recovery mode will make it visible so you can restire it.  For recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

    This has happened 3 times... my Ipod touch 4 will be fine one minute,but then the next time I turn it on the screen won't pick up when I touch the screen it wont pick it up. I can't unlock it or completely turn it off becasue the touch screen won't work, but I know it is still alive becasue when you press the home button my lock screen turns up. if you know how to fix this bug please tell me how.
