IPod touch 4G won't stay on, black screen

my iPod touch 4g got wet. I got the battery replaced. but now the screen will not stay on. sometimes it will come on but most of the time
the apple sig will come on like the iPod is turning on but then it fades away.

All you can do is to restore the iPod to factory settings/new iPod. If you still have problems that indicates a hardware problem. Frequently water damage will cause such problems.

  • New iPod Touch Wifi won't stay connected?

    Just bought new 16 GB iPod Touch, and it won't stay connected to my home WiFi. Even after a reset of network connection, re-enter WiFi info and Touch connects for a few minutes and then loses connectivity even tho WiFi bars still show. Turning WiFi off and on does not fix problem. Turning iPod off and back on will allow Touch to reconnect, but again only for a few minutes at best.

    Does the iPod work OK with other networks?
    Do other devices work OK?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                 
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on the router
    - Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:

  • IPod Touch 64GB won't stay charged

    I have a iPod touch 64GB that won't keep a charge longer then 1-3 hours even after I fully charge it. My iPod has never done this before nor did it show any sign of battery lose. It seemed to come on after this new upgrade to iTunes, I don't know if that has anything to do with it? I've taken good care of my battery, charging it fully and then using it to the end, I never left it on charge when it was finished charging, and I don't play but one game on it for only a few minutes. Its only use is to play music. I have tried turning it off (Holding off/on/sleep button until it ask me to Power off by sliding) but that has not helped.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings

  • IPod touch applications won't stay open

    I just bought a used iPod touch. The first day put applications on it, and everything worked fine, then suddenly some of the applications would open log enough to see the title screen, then it would go back home. I restored the iPod to the factory settings, re-installed the apps, and everything worked fine for a little over a day, then the same thing happened. I don't have any windows open in safari, and I still have almost half of my memory left.

    I have the same problem as well with an itouch that I purchased for my niece. The first one I bought, the apps never worked after I downloaded and some songs wouldn't play either. So last Monday I exchanged it and got a new one. The apps worked on this one along with the music until she unwrapped it Christmas morning (about 4 days). Now the app will flash up then quickly return to the home screen. I also received a touch for Christmas and put the apps on mine and so far am NOT having that problem, so I don't think it's a computer problem. I scheduled a support call with apple but it will be January 4th before they can get to me! If anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated!

  • IPod Touch 5G Won't Stay Charged?

    I bought my iPod Touch 5G for $400 in December of 2012, and it worked amazingly for awhile. Unfortunately, I started noticing the battery is struggling to remain fully charged or charged at all. It dies within hours, an having paid $400, you can see why that's a problem. I have tried restarting, resetting, and rebooting. It still holds the same problem. When I charge it, I can't get the full charged symbol in the battery icon. I have tried closing all apps and the email thing, all of that. I have heard a lot of people say the iOS is the reason (6.1.3). I hope this is the problem. What should I do? Should I buy a new one or risk waiting for the new iOS?

    - Try a new cable
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up

  • IPod touch 4th generation stuck in recovery, black screen and failure notice "IPod couldn't be recovered due to an unkown failure (-1).

    Hi there,
    I bought an IPod touch 3 weeks ago and it seems pretty stupid as I had so much trouble with it.
    First all the music wasn't synchronized properly. Most of the songs have been stucked in the middle (although the time moved on properly) and jumped to different times. I restored and recovered everything twice and everytime I plugged my IPod in my computer it seemed to worked, but after synchronising the first time the second time my ITunes recognized the Ipod but I couldn't see the files or even synchronise again. I could finally download all new updates (for the IPod and the new Itunes) as requested. ITunes  reset the IPod but couldn't recover it properly.My Ipod has a black screen and nothing works. Apparently my Ipod is in a maintenance mode, but everytime I try to recover it (as requested) it works until I get the failure notice "unknown failure (-1), couldn't recover/restore. I spend the whole day checking the Internet for a solution and trying to update everything without success so I really appreciate an answer. I am travelling through central america right now and unfortunately there are no apple stores around.
    Thanks
    Daniela
    P.S. Sorry, my failure notices are in german, so I tried to translate them and the situation as good as possible

    See if you can get it into DFU mode and then restore.

  • IPod touch 5 won't stay charged??

    My boyfriend bought me my new iPod for my birthday (October) and recently it has started to not hold the charge? It will be 100% charged one minute and then 2 hours later it is dead?! I know battery life goes down with age but it's not even a year old yet?! Sometimes the battery goes hot as well! I'm just wondering if I take it to my local apple shop would they give me a new one or send it away?! It's really annoying! I feel like I have to constantly have it on charge. And before anyone asks I haven't dropped it or done any damage to it! I take extra care of it because it wasn't me who payed for it!

  • My iPod Touch (3G) won't turn on?

    I've owned my iPod Touch since June 30th, 2010 (a little over a year). I am no longer under the warranty, so I know that if my iPod is broken, I will have to pay. My iPod has been dropped several times, it has cracks in the screen, but the screen hasn't chipped away like others. It's never been dropped in water, so I don't think water is the problem. I'm also positive the headphone jack is broken, as several pairs of working headphones have not worked on it unless a decent amount of pressure is applied. Anyways, back to the major problem. My iPod will not turn on. I'll hold the power and home button, and the apple logo will come up, but it won't take me to the lock screen, it will simply go black again. It won't charge at all, and the only time I can successfully turn it on is when the iPod is "charging". However, the second I unplug it, it goes all black. All help is appreciated!! Thanks!

    Same problem here - Ipod touch 3G won't turn on. I've tried reseting - but absolutely no response and when I try to restore, before it completes the restore, error 1600 comes up. This is my daughter's ipod and we've tried all of this after plugging in to a wall charger overnight and then using a pc and then mac and still nothing. Any suggestions?

  • Okay so my IPod touch 4 won't play music through any headphone I put into the port. I've tried it with 4-5 different headphones but it still won't work.  How can I fix this?

    Okay so my IPod touch 4 won't play music through any headphone I put into the port. I've tried it with 4-5 different headphones but it still won't work.  How can I fix this? This isn't the first time something like this has happened but it has never stayed this way for such a long time. If I have to send it in for repairs I will but I'm not sure if its under warranty

    To check for warranty coverage:
    https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do
    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
