Ipod Touch, black line on the screen

Hello.
I recently went on holiday to Corfu. I took my ipod with me, and while there, noticed one day that it had developed a black line across the screen. Even when turned off, you can still see it.
It doesn't effect the touch screen from working, it just doesn't look so good.
Is there a way to fix this?
Thanks

You may want to remove the Invisible Shield from the unit before taking it to the Apple Store. If they end up giving you a new touch, they likely won't replace/reimburse you for the Shield. If you have the Shield removed, at least you stand a chance in getting it replaced by sending it back to Zagg (you need to send your original Shield back to them to get a replacement). You can just send it back as being damaged and should get a brand new replacement which you can then use on the new touch. You cannot re-apply an already used Shield.
Tip: if you get a new touch and are waiting for a replacement Shield, keep the original protective plastic film on the touch until you get the Shield. I'm sure you know that the back of the touch will get scratched if you even look at it the wrong way.

    ipod touch has stopped working. the screen showes that it need to connect to power.

    Hey there our3goldens,
    It sounds like you are unable to successfully boot your iPod Touch. I would recommend these steps specifically from the following article, named:
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3281
    If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
    Let it charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
    If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
    If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged. Learn more about charging iPhone and iPod touch, or iPad.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
    Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
    If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more aboutrestoring iOS software.
    If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,
    Sterling

    My ipod touch wont turn on, The screen is black and i tried to plug it inot my computer and it still wont turn on.. Can someone help me ?.

    - 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 try restoring the iPod via iTunes.  You may have to place the iPod in recovery mode for iTunes to see the iPod.  For recovery mode see:

  • I have the ipod touch 4th generation and the screen is white, i was going to charge it and it turned white. I have tried to reset it but the apple logo will not show up and it will not turn on! i just got it for christmas... can you please help?

    i have the ipod touch 4th generation and the screen is white, i was going to charge it and it turned white. I have tried to reset it but the apple logo will not show up and it will not turn on! i just got it for christmas... can you please help?

    The way I did it was I got the free app sync:stream from the App Store and then added my ipod to my ps3's Bluetooth devices. Then went to audio settings and set output and input to 'Skaggs iPod' you then open the app and it will be listed under music as a media service. You then go to all tracks and click copy (press triangle) it will then begin to copy all of your songs onto your ps3 via Bluetooth. I haven't tried but I assume the same can be done with photos. I hope this was helpful reply if you have any questions :) good luck

  • HT4859 we have a iPod touch 4th gen and the screen is locked and it will let us restore it what now

    A reset may help. Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off button at the same time for approximately 10-15 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. When the logo appears, release both buttons and await restart. No content will be affected.

  • I'm getting a series of black lines on the screen in Safari

    This just sort of started out of the blue today.  There are a bunch of black lines on the screen, and when I try to scroll, the lines just scroll along with it.  When I look at things via an app, there are no lines, making me think it's a software issue with Safari.  Anybody have this problem or know how to make it go away?

    Using iCloud to sync bookmarks between your Mac and iPad?
    If so, on the iPad tap Settings > iCloud. Swich Safari off then back on.
    On your Mac, open System Preferences > iCloud
    Deselect the box next to Safari then reselect it.
    Give iCloud a few minutes to re sync your bookmarks.
    If you are using iCloud, don't sync Safari bookmarks on iTunes. That could be why the bookmark tabs got emptied out.

  • My iPod Touch is stuck on the screen you get when your updating from trying to update with old iTunes

         So I was trying to update my 4th gen iPod touch when it canceled the update and told me that I needed to update iTunes. So while I was trying to do so, which didn't even work by the way, I noticed that my iPod was stuck on the screen that you get when updating your iOS. The bar was about a quarter way filled when it froze. I'm not sure how to fix this or what to google to find a solution so I came here. I'm actually leaving it alone to try to see if it runs out of battery since after all it has to be wasting battery from being on all the time. Please help!

  • TS2771 iPod touch has audio but the screen is black.

    My ipod touch turns on I can hear it go on but the screen stays black. I helled the top and bottom buttons together and restored it but it still does not work.

    Have you tried plugging it in and letting it charge for at least half an hour?  If still no sign of life, have you tried a hard reset to see if that makes a difference as well?  To do this, press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together anywhere from 15 seconds to a minute.
    Don't be afraid to try the reset procedure more than once.

  • Ipod Touch - Black, apple logo, white screen, black REPEATEDLY!

    My ipod touch, 2nd or 3rd generation, keeps flashing from black, to apple logo, to white screen and back to black. Then about every 10th cycle or so it flashes the low battery screen and then shuts off. Only to begin its cycle again in a few minutes. Obviously the battery is so low it can't boot right away. But it won't wait to try to turn on long enough to charge the battery. I've tried resetting, and it won't show up in iTunes to restore...HELP! I WILL NOT give up on this iPod!

    lllaass Thanks for the reply.
    I was aware of the nature of the error. The USB issue would not appear to be relevant as my own iTouch 2G is fine using the same PC / cable. However I will, when I have time, install iTunes on another PC and attempt from there. My question asked if the OP had resolved the issue and if it had been resolved then how was it acheived.
    The Grandson's iTouch is now permanently stuck in the mode it first appears in when new i.e. image displayed of the iTunes symbol and a USB cable, indicating that it needs to communicate with iTunes.
