Ipod screen flashes then goes blank

My iPod initially flashes, when turning on.  You can see the time, or the apple, but it then goes blank.  I don't believe the LCD screen is shot, or it wouldn't flash.  How do I fix it?

Try:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on

  • Screen flashes then goes blank - S2012 13" Air

    When I start up my new Air, the screen will sometimes flash bright white/gray then go completely blank as if it fell asleep. The keyboard lights are still on at this point. This will happen after several restarts. Is there a software fix, or is a Genius visit in my near future?

  • T400 screen flashes then goes black

    As the thread title says, my lenovo t400's screen recently started flashing. It wasn't that bad at first but it increased in frequency and started to be very annoying. I noticed changing from battery to cable would temporarily stop it, also turning down the brightness helped.
    However the problem started getting worse and now when I am forced to have it on the lowest brightness settings. If I turn it up it starts flashing erratic and then the screen turns off. The system itself keeps working though and if I turn the laptop off or in sleep mode and then turn it on again the screen "works" again (still with flashing). Ofcourse if I left the brightness above its lowest level it will instantly go black again.
    Also most likely related, half of the screen (left side) has taken on an "redish" collor.
    What could be the problem and is it something I can fix myself?

    And yes if I were to shine on the screen with a flashlight I can see the content.
    Correct, these are the original specs of the machine:
    ThinkPad T400 (6474-B84):
    P8600(2.4GHz), 2GB RAM, 160GB 7200rpm HD, 14.1in 1440x900 LCD, Intel 4500MHD, CDRW/DVDRW, Intel 802.11agn wireless, WWAN option, Bluetooth, Modem, 1Gb Ethernet, UltraNav, Secure Chip, 9c Li-Ion, WinXP Pro
    I can think of three possibleculprits, LCD cable defective, inverter defective or LCD panel's backlight  defective. The cable and the inverter will be cheaper to replace, the panel will be more pricey I guess, (I don't know the current LCD panel prices).
    T400's came with standard CCFL and LED screens. You need to find out which one you have. You can try the part lookups page from Lenovo and follow the instructions here: http://support.lenovo.com/en_CH/product-and-parts/partsLookup.page?
    (You need the machine type and your serial number, please don't post the serial number here in the forum)
    P.S.: If you have a LED screen cluprits could be the cable or the panel, no inverters there AFAIK)

  • IPad 2 screen flashes or goes blank

    My iPad2 will just go blank in the middle of using it.  Occasionally it will flash off and back on too. 

    Did you charge your battery? I also think your iPad has crashed and restarted. Did it crash when you were opening apps and doing stuff?

    Try to reset your ipad and/or force quit the mail app
    Reset
    Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. When you see the silver apple, let go and let it reboot. No data will be lost.
    Force close an app
    Double tap the home button. When you see the app previews on the screen scroll sideways if needed to get the preview in question on the screen. Flick that preview up and off the screen to close the app. Single tap the home button or home screen preview to exit the mode.

  • I recently dropped my ipod in water and i placed it into rice for 3 days. Then when i try and connect it to the computer it shows the no battery screen with just the lightning bolt. and when i try to restore it the screen flashes then resest

    Then when i try and connect it to the computer it shows the no battery screen with just the lightning bolt. and when i try to restore it the screen flashes then resest to the no battery screen and i get error 1602. Do you know what is wrong with it? do you think its just the battery cause i can replace that for cheap or do you think the circuts are fried?

    No. It sounds like the water destroyed the component inside the iPod.
    About your only choice now it to take it to Apple and pay for a replacement.

  • IPod keeps blinking the Apple sign then going blank.

    I was attempting to turn on my iPod, but it wouldn't come on. So I plugged it into my computer's USB port. Now it's just blinking the Apple logo, then going blank. I've tried closing iTunes, unplugging then re-plugging it, holding in the Home button, pretty much anything I can think of! Any suggestions or answers?

    Welcome to the discussions,
    does your device charge using the wall adapter? If yes, let it charge for at least 20min, then connect in recovery mode: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

  • I am having trouble accessing itunes store.  It starts to load but then goes blank.

    I can not access the Itunes store.  It will start to load but then goes blank.  Not sure what to do.

    Close your iTunes,
    Go to command Prompt -
    (Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
    (Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
    In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
    netsh winsock reset
    Hit "ENTER" key
    Restart your computer.
    If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
    Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.

  • ICal imports then goes blank

    My iCal was loaded with duplicate entries, so i removed them with dupe deleter and then tried to sync my MobileMe calendar to my mac. That's when the ical on my mac went blank. Now when i reimport my backed up ical data, the info shows up for about a second and then goes blank again. I've disabled syncing with mobile me, but the ical still goes blank shortly after importing. Any ideas

    OK, I'll answer my own post--I powered off and rebooted the iPhone and now iCal is back.

    You buy one and only one download.
    As it should have been transferred to your computer when you synced, you can contact itunes support and ask for an exception.

    Samuel32_826,
    If you have a virus you can run a system recovery to remove the virus.
    The system recovery will remove everything on your computer including the virus and put the system back to day one. Just like when you opened it out of the box.
    Here is a link that will walk you through the steps of the recovery.
    Let me know how everything goes.

  • My i phone 4 screen suddenly starts showing funny and distorted images then goes blank. how do i get the screen back to normal.?

    my i phone screen starts blinking and showing funny and distorted images before going blank. now it's blank,how do i get it back to normal.?

    Did you already try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again? You will not lose data, but a reset can cure some glitches.
    If this does not work, try to set it up as new device, explained in this article:
    How to back up your data and set up as a new device
    Don't use the backup afterwards, to rule out a software problem. If the camera is working again, restore from the backup.
