IPod Touch had white screen and was hot

Yesterday my iPod Touch had a white screen and was hot. I tried holding the power button and home button and it didn't work. What happened was the iPod was off. I turned it on and saw it had 30% battery and then turned off wifi. I had it on a table, and came back 10 minutes and saw it was black and wouldn't turn on. I then tried to charge it and the screen became white and was really hot in the back especially. I think it was white for like an hour. I held the iPod in front of the AC to cool it down..... ..... It cooled it down and then the iPod went black ever since today. I can't seem to do anything to it...:/ My computer & iTunes do not recognize the device.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer          
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. Because of the hotness I suspect a hardware problem

Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $199 for a 64 GB 4G and $99 for the other 4Gs. They do not fix yours.

  • Ipod touch with white screen and blue and green lines

    I have had the newest ipod touch for a year now no problems..I was just on Facebook and the screen froze then went white with a lot of blue and green colored lines on it. It won't do anything I have tried plugging it in and holding down sleep and the home button for ten seconds but I get nothing. What should I do? Will this be covered if I take it took the apple store?

  • Ipod  touch has white screen and not responding

    screen is white and not responding

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely.  Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

  • I have a few scratches on my iPod touch 4th gen screen and it really bothers me I need a way to get rid of them

    I have a few scratches on my iPod touch 4th gen screen and it really bothers me and I need a way to fix it without replacing the screen or causing further damage

    Hey Pandorafromtn, Not to rub salt in you open wounds, but prevention would have cost less than $10! Anything that will remove the scratches will most likely ruin the screen. I am aware of a product that works well for fill scratches in eyeglasses. It paints on, is kind of milky semi-transparent then drys to a haze. You then rub / polish until clear. Will it damage the coating on an iPod screen? I don't know. But may be for not, I can't remember the name of the stuff. I guess contact a eye care center, they may be able to help. Replacing the screen would be the best option you have or learn to live with it. In the future use a case and/or screen protector. Or you could start working on your incantations, "Oculus Repairus!" Don't forget the flick of the wrist to get your wand in the correct angle as you state "Repairus". All joking aside, Good luck. Cheers.

  • My iPod Touch 4G (White) Screen is Cracked, and...

    Hello. This is my first post on the message board. Today, by accident, my iPod touch 4th-Gen fell and cracked on the floor. So far, everything else seems to function fine, except the entire front and screen has been fragmented, and cracked. I can still turn it on and the home button is usable. My question is, what can I do to get my iPod touch repaired soon? I got in January, but I don't have AppleCare. Should I take it to the Apple Store (I live in Ontario, Canada) and ask them, or what else can be done? I still have the receipt and original packaging, by the way.
    Thanks

    Apple will replace the whole unit for a fixed price.

    I don't think you'll find it much cheaper to go to a third party repair place.  The disadvantage with third party is also if the unit is still under general warranty a third party repair will void Apple ever looking at it again for anything.
