how do you fix a white screen on a ipod touch

     i tried to hold the two buttons down for like 5 minutes.
     plugging it into my computer (which didn't amount to anything because the computer didn't even pick up that it was connected to my ipod)
     and coming on here to find any way to fix this.

  • How do I repair the white screen on my ipod touch?

    How do I repair the white screen on my ipod touch. I have tried to hard reset the ipod, however every time I press the top button to lock the screen, it goes to a white screen.

    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.  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.
    There's more to try but let's go a bit at a time.

    If you tried a restore and it is still doing it, then you most likely have a hardware issue.

  • How do I remove blank white screen from my ipod touch?

    help! my iPod is stuck on a white screen and holding any button down is not helping. I'm thinking of leaving it overnight and waiting if it is fixed in the morning. Is this a good idea or is there a better method/solution for troubleshooting iPod Touch.

    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 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.
