Ipod touch 4 display gone? Help!

My iPod Touch 4th gen. fell down and hit a chair (steel). It can still play music and accesses facetime on voice commands and gets charged but its screen display is gone. It has a passcode but i still managed to try restoring it. (restoring is currently being done and along with it, its getting updated to 6.1.6 from 6.1.2)  for restoring as you may know it, it requires me to put my passcode and unlock the ipod first. And i pressed the unlock button and just entered my passcode though i couldn't see anything and it got unlocked. i also tried and successfully open the inside of the ipod without damaging it and as far as i think the screen is broken. can something be done to repair it myself or should i just take it to apple for replacing it? And if i go to an apple store to replace it, how much would it cost?

Apple will not replace screens on the iPod Touch 4th gen...they replace the entire iPod for $99-199 depending on the capacity.  However, since you opened the iPod, which they will know immediately, they will not help you at all.  You will need to find an independent repair or an Apple Authorized Service Provider and see if they can replace the screen for you.

  • My ipod touch screen has gone white with bright white spots, I have restored it but it is still white.  It shows in ITunes but I cant do anything with it.  Can anyone help please

    My Ipod touch screen has gone white with bright white spots on it.  I have restored it and it shows in ITunes but the screen is still white.  Is there anything I can do? The warranty has run out so I will have to pay for any repairs (if it can be repaired).  Any help would be much appreciated.  Thank you in advance.

    If you still have problems after restoring the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod then you very likely have a hardware problem.  I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • My brothers ipod touch has just gone off. someone please help me?

    my brothers ipod touch has just gone off. we cant get it to come back on and it is fully charged is this something that happens alot and how do we fix it?

    Frozen or unresponsive iPod touch
    Try this first...
    Turn the iPod Off... ( if it isn’t already )
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear and then Disappear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
    Release the Buttons...
    Turn the iPod On...

    You did install the latest iTunes (10.5) right?  If the problem was that iTunes does not see the iPod try:

    2nd gen iPod touch only displays start-up apple icon, and is not recognized by iTunes - what to do?

    Thanks, but I've checked those articles out already. I drained the battery and finally got the needs charge (battery w/red line + arrow pointing to a charging bolt), I plugged the USB into the laptop and held down the start key +home key until I saw the apple logo. However, it still was not recognized by itunes. It's been plugged in for over an hour now and the screen is cycling apple logo/low battery (battery w/red line)/and black screen.

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
