How do I fix iPod Touch's white screen?

Hello,
So I'm having this problem with my iPod Touch 3rd Generation, where appears to be fully blank (white), and I've tried different methods that was mentioned on the internet including:
Turn it on/off
Hold home and power button for 40 seconds
Restore iPod
Drain the battery
The thing is, none of these methods worked, sometimes it would go back to normal, but then 5 seconds later it will start flickering and turn white again. On a side note, everything works fine, that was how I managed to turn it off, so the iPod functions properly, you hear the sounds, but you can't see the screen 'cause it's all white. Just wanna ask if there's other methods I should try or should I visit the Apple Store (ps. I bought my iPod in another country )?
Thanks,
Eric

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 had white screen and was hot

Yesterday my iPod Touch had a white screen and was hot. I tried holding the power button and home button and it didn't work. What happened was the iPod was off. I turned it on and saw it had 30% battery and then turned off wifi. I had it on a table, and came back 10 minutes and saw it was black and wouldn't turn on. I then tried to charge it and the screen became white and was really hot in the back especially. I think it was white for like an hour. I held the iPod in front of the AC to cool it down..... ..... It cooled it down and then the iPod went black ever since today. I can't seem to do anything to it...:/ My computer & iTunes do not recognize the device.

- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on

Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $199 for a 64 GB 4G and $99 for the other 4Gs. They do not fix yours.

HT1212 Ipod touch with white screen

My little brother was playing my ipod and now its got millions of seconds before i can access my ipod. Now tho the screen is white with static horizontal lines going across the screen, no pictures nothing so when i plug it into itunes, itunes ask for the passcode but i cannot see anything. What should i do?

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

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.

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.
