Ipod Mini screen

I just got an ipod mini and the screen keeps fading so I turned the contrast to the maximum and it was good for a minute or so then it faded again. With the contrast a max the screen is still as if the contrast was at minimum. the rest works fine so what should I do.

Christopher,
If you just got it (I assume it's brand new), you would be better off returning it for an exchange.
You could try restoring it, but this sounds like more than a software issue.

  • Ipod mini screen has gone dark, and when backlight goes on v

    Ipod mini screen has gone dark, and when backlight goes on the centre part with writing etc is almost black with light around edge. will this go? do i need to send it back?

    Maybe your backlight is burning out? That's what I would think when the center is black but the edges have light. I'm not sure if a reset would fix the backlight but you can try (hold the menu and center buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo and then release). If I were I'd send it back to Apple but do you know if you are still under warranty? You should be if you've had your iPod less than a year.

  • Ipod mini screen problem

    Well I just won an 4GB 2nd gen iPod mini and I just received it the other day. I followed the instructions in the quick start book (charged batteries, installed software, etc). Only problem is my screen's contrast becomes extremely faint after a minute or two of use. Once I turn it on, it is OK to use with contrast set at about 2/3's. Moments after I must turn it up to maximum and it is still VERY faint and continues to worsen with use. I've tried resetting it (using menu + select... I can barely see the apple symbol as well), upgrading the ipod software to 1.4, restoring it. Everything that I've been told to do. What should I do as I do not have an apple service center anywhere around here (gladstone, QLD, australia)?
    Thanks

    HI Jesy,

  • Dropped Ipod Mini/Screen Damaged

    I dropped my Ipod Mini and the screen is partially damaged. I would like to get this repaired. I do have the Apple Protection Plan but not sure if this would be covered.
    Any suggestions or help is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Blair

    No, it is not covered.
    If Apple would even repair it, they usually charge $209 plus shipping plus tax.

  • IPod Mini Screen Protector/Invisable Shield

    Hello. I have a question about two seprate products. Could someone link me to some screen protectors for the iPod Mini? Also, could someone link me to some full body clear protectors for the iPod Mini? Thank you!

    Bob,
    Do a search on Google. I try not to spoon-feed answers to people, especially links that have nothing to do with iPod's functionality.

  • Wall Charger Picture on My Ipod Mini Screen

    After selecting to restore my ipod mini, the program instructed me to plug in the ipod using a wall charger. I plugged in the ipod using the charger and now the ipod just shows a picture of the wall charher on the screen.
    I think the charger might be bad, even though it is new. My ipod charges when plugged into my computer; however, now my computer will not acknowledge the ipod until the restore is completed. Any ideas.
    Thanks

    I had the same problem with the AC adapter icon never going off ,even when I had it plugged into the wall. I took it to Circuit City (they had a free clinic this week.) They tried everything too, as a last resort they plugged it in using a firewire. That did the trick, fixed it. I think they sell firewires for around $30. Hope this helps.

  • Fading Ipod Mini Screen!!!! Contrast problems!!

    Okay, so i just sent my messed up ipod to apple and then sent me back a brand new one. Everythings fine cept the screen keeps fading and once in a while it will go back to normal again. I thought the contrast was not up far enough but it is up all the way!! Please help, i dont want to have to send it in again

    Hi Dylanthegamer,
    If you are having issues with the Contrast setting on you iPod Mini, you may find the information on page 53 of the following manual helpful:
    If the Screen Is Too Light or Too Dark
    1  Select Settings > Contrast.
    2  Use the Click Wheel to adjust the contrast.
    If you accidentally set the screen contrast too light or too dark, you can reset it to the
    default by pressing and holding the Menu button for about 4 seconds.

  • My ipod mini screen fades after charging

    I have a ipod mini ( which i love) but lately when i charge it, the screens contrast fades drastically to where i almost cant see anything on it. i can fix it by bumping the contrast up...my question is, why is it doing this , and is this a sign of a bigger problem?

    unfortunately to be certain you would have to bring it to an apple store.  but seeing as its old anyway and you are two hours from the nearest store you may want to replace it.  which ipod is it...2gen?  if it is then you will want to send it to be fixed as it is hard to do yourself.  The battery is soldered in and it is tricky to replace especially for a novice.  there are sites that you can send your ipod to that will replace it for you and on the cheap in comparison to apple.
    here is one that i know people have used with good resaults.

  • My ipod mini screen is fading

    my i pod mini screen fades after about 5 minutes of use and then im blindly navigating through my ipod...it still plays ...if i dont use my ipod for a day or so it seems to get darker but then within a few minutes it fades again

    well how long have you had it??? If you think it is braking you can bring it to a local Apple store or if one is not close to you you can call the Apple Company and they will send you another one free...thats what they did with my friends but since they dont make minis anymore they might give you a nano or video in replacement...have you tried restarting it??? (other than that i dont know!) Sorry...glad to help though!

  • Ipod Mini Screen is blank but lit.

    I have an Ipod Mini about 18 months old. Recently the screen lights up but is totally blank, no apple logo, no menus, etc.
    Reset does not do anything. Totally discharging the battery
    and then trying reset does nothing.
    I tried to update the internal software but the only option
    available is "Restore", "Update" is grayed out. I can hear the songs, just no way to choose one.
    Can anyone help?

    Right now I am pretty ticked at my Ipod mini too. The screen lights up but there is no words or anything, I cant see what I'm highlighting and on top of everything its warranty went out a long time ago.

  • Ipod mini screen scratches

    I have a few scratches on the screen of my ipod mini. Any suggestions for removing them? Thanks!!!

    Hello Joan,
    You may not beleive it, I used the original toothpaste and managed to remove some scratches on the screen of my iPod . However, if you do not want to take this risk go and buy this stuff - RadTech Ice Cream iPod Acrylic Polish, which works as well ..

  • Apple logo on ipod mini screen

    I have a question that I really hope it will get answered.
    I have had my 6GB Ipod mini for about 7 months now, and I experienced no problem until last month.
    If I try to turn my Ipod mini on after at least 2 days of non-use, the apple logo will appear and erase the shuffle function (meaning that I lose where the shuffling was), and the battery decreases about 1/2 way.
    I tried restoring and updating, but no luck.
    Can someone please help me!
    Thanks!

    Yes it is normal.

  • IPod mini screen flashes apple on and off..help!

    Yesterday, I tried to turn on my iPod mini and the low battery symbol came up, so I plugged it in. When I did, it wouldn't turn on, but instead, the apple keeps flashing on and off every 10 seconds and it won't quit until about 5 mintues has passed. There is also a clicking noise inside, like it is turning itself off and on and trying to restart. Since yesterday, every time I try to plug it in to recharge it, it does this same thing over and over again.
    Someone please help . . the answer isn't on the FAQ either!!
    Thanks alot! Leighla

    OK. I've gotten my ipod working again. Here is what I did.
    I reset my ipod (which didn't do anything)
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61705
    And then I put it into hard drive mode (which worked)
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651
    From there my computer recognized it and I restored the factory settings thru ipod updater. My ipod software was current, so I didn't have the option of updating. It works now and I've reloaded all my music back on. I hope it stays in good health.
    Good luck with your issue.

  • Ipod Mini screen stuck on Apple Logo?

    The screen is stuck showing only the apple logo. I have tried resetting it but it doesn't do anything. I have plugged it up to my pc and started my itunes and it isn't reading the Ipod either.

    Hello Lisa03,
    By a reset, I assume you meaning holding the Select and Menu buttons together until the Apple logo appears correct? No response at all when you do that? Have you made sure the hold switch wasn't on.
    If you cannot get the iPod to reset, your only option at this point is to let the battery completely drain. Once it has, you can hook it up to your computer, and let it charge long enough for it to be recognized by your computer and iTunes.
