HT1363 How do you troubleshoot a white screen on ipod 4th gen?

My ipod 4th gen has a white screen. None of the troubleshooting steps will correct it. Anyone have any recommendations what to do next?

A restore of the device in iTunes usually rules out any possibility of a software glitch as it reloads the iPod with a fresh version of the iPod's software.  One last thing you can try doing is letting the iPod's battery fully drain. Then charge it back up and restore in iTunes once more.
Otherwise, it's likely a hardware issue with the iPod's LCD display or its connection to the iPod's logic board.  You'll need to pay to have your iPod serviced/replaced either by Apple or a third party repair service.

  • White screen on ipod 4th gen, white screen on ipod 4th gen

    I have encountered the lovely white screen on my Ipod touch 4th gen. I have tried everything and still mot working. I got this as a gift and have no receipt . What are my options, is it a total loss?

    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 iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - 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.

  • White screen on iPod 4th gen

      Hi, my 4th gen iPod Touch has an all white screen. I've read to restart it by holding the home and power button for ten seconds simultaneously. The only problem is that my power button doesn't work. Any ideas?

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    When it says place the iPod in recovery mode
    Place the iPod in recovery mode using one of these programs:

    or
    http://joshuabailey1997.wordpress.com/2010/09/02/recboot-v1-3/
    If necessary:
    Download QTMLClient.dll & iTunesMobileDevice.dll for RecBoot
    and                                           
    RecBoot tip
    RecBoot may have problems on 64X windows, then try:

    For MAC or PC       
    The Firmware Umbrella - TinyUmbrella
    Installs blootware on PC too
    - 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

  • Cracked screen on iPod 4th gen

    Where can I get a screen replaced and how much will it cost for an iPod 4th gen in the UK?

    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours. Make sure you select the UK for country
    Apple - iPod Repair price                                    
    A third-party place like the following maybe less. Google for one in UK.

    Replace the screen yourself if you are up to it

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

    Festus,
    I'm getting you have a MacBook rather than an iMac, if so you may want to request to have your post moved to the correct forum. However please read Gray screen appears during startup to begin troubleshooting your problem.

    Try resetting the iPod by pressing and holding the power and home buttons simultaneously until the device powers off and you see the apple symbol.

  • 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.
