IPod nano 6th gen went through washer and dryer

HELP!!  iPod nano 6th generation made the trip through the washer and dryer. I put it in a bowl of rice for several days, and it appears not to work. But when I plug it into iTunes it recognizes it, but the screen is blank. 
What can I do???
It was a replacement for my 2nd gen nano that experienced battery issues, so it's not under warranty at all. Is it possible to replace the screen or is it cashed out??

Update!
When I plug it into iTunes it's recgonized by iTunes. However the tough screen is totally black.
Is there a way to get that replaced or is it totally hosed.

  • My ipod nano 6th gen has white screen

    please help my ipod nano 6th gen has white screen and wont go away, ive put into disk mode (dfu) and restored on itunes and still no resolution....ive tried hard reseting and still nothing

    It might also be a good idea to let the iPod's battery fully drain. Then charge it back up and restore it once more in iTunes.
    Otherwise, it's likely a hardware issue with the iPod's LCD display, meaning you'll need to take or send your iPod in for service either via Apple or a third party repair service. Here is Apple's repair pricing.
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/prices/
    Note that they don't actually repair the device, but exchange it for one of the same generation, model, and capacity.  A third party service will actually replace the damaged part for a little less.  Google "iPod screen repair" and you should get a number of results to work with.

  • Got a refurbished iPod Nano 6th gen, and went to connect it to my PC,

    Got a refurbished iPod Nano 6th gen, and went to connect it to my PC, it said it was configured to Mac and went to restore it and install software. Now shows white screen with little computer icon and warning sign. won't reset

    By a reset, I assume you mean pressing and holding both the Sleep/Wake and Volume Down buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear?
    Can you try and force the Nano into Disk Mode and then connect it iTunes and restore it again?

  • Ipod nano 6th gen askinh for resore every time i connect and after the restore not showing the sysnced song on ipod

    i have a ipod nano 6th gen, few days back when i tried to add few songs through iTunes it gave me error that it "can't connect to ipod . restore it" so i did and after that i synced al the songs and it showed that my my empty ipod has been up few GB's. after i disconnected , i could not see any song on the ipod . when it connected back the ipod the got same error about restore. i dont know what to do now , please help.

    Hello Singhindia,
    It sounds like you restored your iPod Nano when iTunes prompted you and it appears to sync. When you disconnect it and look at the content, the songs arent there, and when you plug it back into iTunes you get the same message again. I would recommend these troubleshooting sections from the following article to help isolate the issue to hardware or software:
    iPod nano: Error message saying that iPod 'could not be identified properly'
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3218
    Verify that iTunes is installed and updated
    Restart the computer
    Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
    Verify the device's USB connection
    Verify that the Apple Mobile Device Service and iPod service are both running
    Verify that the Apple Mobile Device Driver is installed
    Remove and reinstall iTunes
    If the issue continues, gathering iPod Diagnostics may be helpful for you or for support personnel in identifying the issue.
    Additional Information
    Certain phone connectivity software from vendors such as Samsung, Nokia, Bora, Novatel, and Sony may also cause this issue. If you have such software on your computer:
    Uninstall your Samsung, Nokia, Bora, Novatel, or Sony phone connectivity software and test. Contact the manufacturer of this software for assistance in doing this.
    Remove iTunes and all related Apple software by following this article (for Windows XP), or this article (for Windows Vista and Windows 7).
    After reinstalling iTunes, test the iPod nano.
    If you still need your phone connectivity software that was removed, reinstall this software and test your iPod nano to ensure it still functions with iTunes. Contact the vendor of your phone connectivity software if the issue returns.
    While the error message is different than you are seeing, the troubleshooting is relevant for you.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,
    Sterling

  • My ipod nano 6th gen fell out of my pockey and the screen cracked badly, is there any coverage for this under warranty? I just bought it a month ago. If not what are the options for getting it fixed

    My ipod nano 6th gen fell out of my pocket and the screen cracked badly, is there any coverage for this under warranty? I just bought it a month ago. If not what are the options for getting it fixed? It is pretty frustrating, it fell from about 3 feet out of my pocket and now looks like it was beaten by a hammer.

    he advises restarting by inserting the OSX disc and pressing down the C button to reboot from there then selecting disk utility, hard disk and repair.... Does he mean me to hold down the C key on the alpha keyboard or the ctrl key?
    Should I just ask for my money back??? If it is a simple repair do I just literally push the disc in, push the power button and hold down the C button?
    That's where I would begin, too, with
    Repair Disk
    Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
    Go to Installer menu (Panther and earlier) or Utilities menu (Tiger) and launch Disk Utility.
    Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
    Select First Aid in the Main panel.
    (Check S.M.A.R.TStatus of HDD at the bottom of right panel, and report if it saysanything but Verified)
    Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
    If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
    If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
    If DU reports errors it cannot repair you will need touse autility like TechTool Pro,Drive Geniusor DiskWarrior
    First we need to determine if the issue you are experiencing with the computer is software or hardware based. Once we have gotten things sorted out there should be time enough to make you decision about keeping or returning it.

  • My ipod nano (6th gen) keeps connecting and disconnecting itself from my computer can anyone help?

    I have read numerous posts online about the same problem but can't seem to sort mine out. I've tried changing power leads, restoring back till an older version of itunes, resetting the ipod, restarting my computer and tried every USB port in sight but still nothing.
    I have plugged a friends ipod touch into my computer and it connects and appears in itunes fine, but with mine it wont stay connected long enough for me to try and restore anything with it on itunes its literally a 1 second interval between connected and ejecting. I thought maybe it could be the connection terminal on the ipod but i have had it connected to a wall charger and xbox with it staying connected with no problems.
    I am running windows vista on the computer and the nano was previously synced to a different itunes could this be the problem and if so how do I go about fixing it??
    Thanks

    I too am having this same issue. I connect my iPod nano (6th gen), and it appears for anywhere between 1 to 10 seconds and then automatically ejects.
    I'm running a macbook pro with OS X 10.6.8 and the most up to date version of iTunes. The strange thing is that the nano works fine on my old macbook from 2007; which also has the most up to date iTunes but is running OS X 10.5. Another thing is that my iPod touch works just perfectly on my MacBook Pro.
    I have read up on a lot of forums, and have found little help for those who are running into this problem on a Mac. The majority of fixes are for PC. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • I plugged my ipod nano 6th gen in to the latest version of itunes today and as soon as i plugged it it it turned on automatically as it should when i came back to it 5 mins later, picked it up and it felt warm and it wouldnt turn on. what should i do?

    I have the same problem and can't seem to figure out what the problem is. I rebuilt my iTunes library and still my 6G nano crahes whenever I load an AAC tune onto it.  MP3s and podcasts all work fine, it's just the AACs... 
    Just *loading* an AAC song will cause the Nano 6G to reboot as soon as it disconnects from Itunes. It will then reboot a few times and then go into recovery mode. :-(

  • My ipod nano 6th gen doesn't start. When I plug it, only blink the apple logo on the screen. I try to reset it holding by 8 seconds start button and volume down and doesn't work. My Ipod doesn't have any shock or water damage. How can I do?

    Is your iPod configured to sync photos?  If so, try disabling the syncing of photos and see if the error message goes away.
    Anything change with your iTunes library since the last time the Nano was able to successfully sync?

  • How to Clean and Polish iPod Nano 6th Gen?

    Hey guys,
         I just got a good deal off eBay of a used iPod Nano 6th Gen in the mail today, but it seems quite dirty. Their is much dust and gunk under the clip, the buttons and screens have many smudges, and the the 30-pin connector port and headphone jack are a little dirty on the inside, kinda moldy in too.
    Does any one know how to properly clean the ports, and the rest of the iPod before I use it? Thanks.
