IPod Screen Is White? Nothing working!

My iPod's battery died and so I connected it to my iPod dock which recharges and the screen went white. When I press the on/off button the screen goes a light shade of black. Press it again, white. Pressing home makes it go white again. No error message, just white or light shade of black. HELP!

- After charging for a couple of hours have you tried resetting the iPod:
Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next would be to connect to a computer and try to restore the iPod. If iTunes does not see the iPod try placing the iPod in recovery mode. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

My iPod screen has randomly stopped working?

So a while so my iPod screen has randomly striped working. I've tried everything. Restoring didn't help one bit and I don't have enough money to go in and get it looked at and get it fixed. I have talked to an apple professional and he was telling me it was a hardware issue. I was hoping I could do something on my open to fix it. I would really love if someone can help me out on this. :)

Sure sounds like a hardware problem to me. Not really anything you can do since I suspect it is a problem with the logic board, the most expensive part of the iPod.
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $19 for 64 GB 4G and $99 for the other 4Gs. They do not fix yours.

hi cengl!
let's try heading to the itunes and ipod software download pages and downloading the update from there:
iTunes 6.0.1.3 Installer
Ipod Updater Installer
i notice that you're running McAfee. if you run into an odd problem where you can't see the download controls (there's a blank blue box on the itunes download page, for example), try:
iTunes download button isn't visible on the Download webpage
keep us posted.

My paper work for my linksys says WEP 64 bits. I've tried changing my IPOD to that and it will say put in password and when I do I get "invalid password" or can not connect. This has been in the last few weeks. I have researched this for the last 2 weeks, called apple and they said it's not my IPOD, called Linksys and they want to charge $30 to fix it. How do I change my router without totaly not messing it up?

IPod screen blank white - PLEASE HELP!

I got a new iPod touch yesterday, and today the screen just went blank. Just white. I've tried turning it off, I've restored it, but nothing works. the shops are closed (as is apple support) because it's Christmas, and I'd really like it to work soon, so if you have any ideas they would be much appreciated.

IPod screen is white blank when I restart it.No apple logo.updaterwontrecog

I unplugged my iPod video while it was still downloading a video. It instantly erased all my music and videos. Everything was gone, but the iPod showed that there was still memory taken by something, so I thought that the music was still there but it had a glitch or something. I downloaded the appropriate Updater from apple.com. I started to restore it, but then thought better of it and unplugged the iPod again, thinking my music was still on it and that instead of restoring it, I should just update it. Now, it's REALLY screwed up. The screen is white when I restart it. There's no apple logo. And it makes noises. Three beeps. I really need help! Is there something I can do to fix it? Or should I just send it in to Apple. I've only had it a little over 3 months and I have over 200 days left on my warranty. Thankfully, I can backup all the music and videos if my iPod ever starts working again. PLEASE HELP ME!!

You messed it up by not allowing the firmware update to finish the installation before disconnecting the iPod. Try these steps.
Reset the iPod.
If the reset doesn't help, then put the iPod into forced disk mode.
How to put the iPod into disk mode.
Now connect the iPod to the computer. This step may immediately take you to the iPod's normal display screen. Reset the iPod to exit disk mode.
If you still have the white screen, then you should use the updater to restore the iPod.
Wait until the restore has finished before disconnecting the iPod. If you're unsure, wait at least 20 minutes (it's probably overkill but best to be sure). In my experience, the software updater for version 1.1.1 takes longer to complete the process than previous updaters.
That should cure the issue.
If however it doesn't, and your iPod is still non responsive (doesn't reset, nothing on the screen or button presses don't work), then it will have to be sent away for service.
See: iPod service request.

Ipod screen gone white after using 2006 updater!

hi...my 5th generation video ipod has just had an update and the screen froze after i removed it... the screen then instead of resulting in the apple logo turned white and it is stuck like that. When i try again to restart it only turns black for a while makes a few beep noises and then the screen turns white again .... HELP!

Apple engineers have determined that this is caused by not allowing the firmware update to finish the installation before disconnecting the iPod.
If the reset previously mentioned doesn't help, then put the iPod into forced disk mode, and use the updater to restore the iPod.
With your iPod not connected to the computer, reset it for about 5 seconds.
Then press and hold the select and the play/pause buttons for another 5 seconds or so. Then it should be in disk mode.
Wait until the restore has finished before disconnecting the iPod. If you're unsure, wait at least 20 minutes (it's probably overkill but best to be sure).
That should cure the issue.
If however it doesn't, and your iPod is still non responsive (doesn't reset, nothing on the screen or button presses don't work), then it will have to be sent away for service.

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.
