IPod Screen is dark & mottled (appears LCD is bleeding underneath)

Would this be covered under my 1 year warranty? (My 1 year expires next week.)

Yes as long as it was not due to accidental damage.
Contact Apple ASAP!

In the midle of a song the screen gets dark, then suddenly appear the home screen of ipod and the song stops.

i have updated my ipod 4g to ios 5.0. everything went great, but something is not right cause sometimes in the midle of a song the screen gets dark, then suddenly appear the home screen of ipod and the song stops. help-me, what should i do?

It occurs with both ripped songs and ITMS songs, but not always the same songs. Just this morning, I had a song skip ahead, then put down the ipod for a few mintues, came back and that same song did not skip ahead at all. I've been on a stretch now of about 20 songs with no skipping whatsoever. Hmmmmmm....
I've used all the five "R"'s multiple times to no avail. It just seems so random, it frustrates me.
Thanks for the help, King

Dark ipod screen seeks bright light

My daughter "washed" our ipod touch and the screen went dark. I dried it out and it works but the screen view is very dark. Is there a solution to bring back the light?

Have you throughly dried it by:

If yes then try the standared fixes Reset

If you still have the problem then it is due to the water.

My iPod touch screen is dark, brightness setting all the way up. how do I get it back to normal?

My iPod touch screen is dark, brightness is completely up and can barely see it. Started all of a sudden.

I am experiencing the same problem. There are lots of discussion threads on this topic. Several people have had short term luck restoring their touch or wiping it clean and starting as a new ipod again. Not a great option, but better that losing the darn thing completely. What has worked for me several times is to power the unit down and leave it for a day or two then it seems to work again. It seems clear to me that this is not a hardware issue, as when it first powers up the screen is fine and sometimes it lasts and other times only for 5 seonds. Also since resetting the software address it, there is no problem with the hardware. SO where is tech support in addressing this. My gen 2 ipod no loger has any sofware updates, thanks apple!
Anybody found a long term fix for this???????

TS3700 music stops playing when the screen goes dark, but the earbud jack is flush with the iPod. The Jack is hard to push in now. what is the problem?

Music stops playing when the screen goes dark; the earbud jack is flush with the iPod. The Jack is hard to push in. what is the problem? How do I Fix it?

And you are positive the white part of the headset is flush with the body of the Nano?
Have you tried another set of headphones to see if the problem persisted? If so, it's likely that the headphone jack needs replacing.

The top of my iPod touch screen is darker than the rest of my screen after the newest update?

So today I turned on my iPod touch (5th generation) and it said there was a software update available. I updated it with no problem, but after the update I noticed almost half of my screen was darker than the rest at the top. (Posting screenshots below) I don't know if it's supposed to be like that because of the update or not. Also, I have a little blue dot (assuming it's a 'dead' or 'stuck' pixel) on my screen that was there when I bought the ipod BRAND NEW on February 13th of this year and I'd like to know if that may be affecting it? Any help would be appreciated!
The darker top screen:
Using apps and Safari the screen is normal:

Hi iBridgetx3,
You can try several things:
1. Go to Settings>Wallpapers & Brightness, and turn the Brightness up or down
2. Go to Settings>General>Accessibility>Increase Contrast, and play with the three options available there - I turned off Reduce Transparency, and turned on Darken Colors and Reduce White Point, because I like the color gradation on the wallpaper on my Home screen. But if you don't like it, then make sure Darken Colors is off, and try that with Reduce White Point both off and on to see what you like best
There are a lot of new settings specifically designed to address the variety of problems that people were having with the initial iOS 7 "look". Play around with them. You will probably find a combination that will suit you.
Cheers,

Ipod Classic (2009 Version) screen is dark.

My ipod classic 160 (2009 version) screen is dark and I cannot see the songs being played on the screen. The settings for the Backlight and Brightness is set to 100%. Please help!

Hello straw189,
It's likely hardware related meaning your iPod will need to be serviced either by Apple or a 3rd party repair company.

This morning I was unable to switch on ipod - screen black, no response. I've tried to chharge it but the screen remains black.It was fine when I switched it off last night and it hasn't been damaged in any way. Thanks

Sometimes an iPod dies because of an hardware problem. Not infrequently electrical items just fail by themselfs and not due to user abuse.

IPod screen is white with lines

HELP! HELP! anyone?
Hi guys i have a problem that i have never experienced before, here goes...i have a 30GB 5th generation iPod, i was playing music when i deceided to sync so music, When i connected it to the PC the screen just went *white with lines across the screen* as though the display was damaged. The lines were showing different colours because the logo "DO NOT DISCONNECT" was attempting to show.
I tried restarting & restoring my iPod but that didn't work, when i restarted it the screen was tring to display the "APPLE" Logo after it was booting up, the screen was dark as usual when u restart it but with lines across and when the main screen came up it was white with the lines. Now the next weird thing that happened was when i turned off the iPod and then turned it back on the screen was back to normal, when i turned it off and on again the problem returned, if i leave it off for about *1-2 minutes* and i turn it on its fine but when i turn it off & on the problem returns.
Besides the problem with the lines on the screen the ipod is working ok, can anyone please assist with with the huge problem? i don't know what to do...HELP ME!

Just experienced the same problem yesterday and left with two white lines across the screen and 1/3 from the top of the screen.

My IPad screen is dark and will not turn on. I have charged the battery and nothing. I have tried to reset the device as well with no luck. Any suggestions?

My IPad screen is dark and will not turn on. I have charged the battery and no luck. I have tried to restart it multiple times with no luck. During the restart, the screen will flicker like it is trying to restart but the silver apple never shows. Any suggestions?

Please tell me that it has NEVER been jailbroke. If it has never been jailbroke, here are some standard repair procedures:
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 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. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen 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."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again. Also, read this.
