IPod touch's screen remains blank, won't reset

During updating my iPod touch software to 3.1.3 today iTunes reported error no. 6 and my iPod touch went off.
I tried to start it or even reset it but it simply won't respond to anything.
The batteries were well charged when I began updating it.
Any ideas what to do now?

hmm ...
just found in another thread on another forum:
+Hi, All,+
+It works now, It suddenly stopped detecting due to unknown reasons, but try these steps.+
+Restart the device without connecting to your pc and+
+Connect to pc and restart again, I did this 2 times and it was recognized and its working fine.+
+Best of luck.+
p.s.: here the original thread: http://en.kioskea.net/forum/affich-17997-ipod-not-detected

My IPod touch Sliding screen is locked and won't slide?

My ipod touch sliding screen to unlock wont open or slide?

Try this:
1. Let IPOD spend all batt,
2. Recharge it again, (i think it's turn on the primitive datas),
3. The IPOD let you slide again,
4. Turn WIFI OFF in SETTINGS
5. IPOD run well, (calculator, Mp3, notes...)
I believe there is a internet command or a BUG that block the IPOD.

Ipod Touch 4G Screen Cracked

My Ipod Touch 4G screen has cracked. I got it as a Christmas gift in 2010. Will Apple replace the screen? And how much will it cost?

If you're garanty is still good, you just need to send your Ipod Touch to Apple or bring it to the store. Useally, Apple gives you a replacement for free. But if you're garanty is expired, i don't know. Probably, you'll need to pay to repair your Ipod Touch.
Hope it helps.
There might some cases, in which Apple did that, but the fact remains:
Apple's Limited Warranty for iPod excludes coverage for damage resulting from accident, liquid damage, disassembly, unauthorized service and unauthorized modifications. Please review the warranty for further details. When a service is not covered under the warranty, Apple will return your original iPod to you without providing service, and may hold you responsible for shipping costs, plus any applicable sales tax.
An iPod that is ineligible for warranty service may be eligible for Out-of-Warranty (OOW) Service. For example, an iPod that has failed due to damage or liquid damage is ineligible for warranty service but eligible for OOW service. However, certain damage is ineligible for OOW service, including catastrophic damage, such as the device separating into multiple pieces, and inoperability caused by unauthorized modifications. Please see Apple's Repair Terms And Conditions for further details.

Ipod touch frozen on and blank

my ipod touch froze with a blank, backlit grey screen when my daughter clicked on an app she regularly plays. the wake/home combo doesnt help...wont turn off etc. just blank backlit screen. any ideas? thanks in advance!

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.

Ipod touch 4g screen popped out a little, can I get it replaced?

so my ipod touch's screen popped out just a little. I can see the white light underneath along the top of one side when its unlocked. It works perfectly though. But I want to get it replaced or covered somehow so it won't get worse. its within warranty so will they fix/replace it if I go to the iStore?
it looks like this

If the iPod is in warranty, defective, not abused and is other than a cosmetic defect, Apple should exchange your iPod for refurbished one. Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Screen remaining blank after reopening lid (after 10.5.2 update)

Hello
after (successfully) updating from 10.5.1 to 10.5.2 several relevant problems appeared.
One is that closing the lid while the computer is on, and then reopening it later, the screen remains blank instead of coming to life. It is possible that the computer itself went to sleep and does not return, but the only way to get back is to press the on button for a few seconds to turn it off the hard way.
The other problem is described in a separated post. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Marinho.

me too, and I'm about to go nuts. There are tons of people having this issue, I fixed it temporarily by changing my hibernate mode (from 3 to 0) using terminal, everything worked great until the last update, now it's acting up again. Now, if I close my lid, and unplug something, or plug something, it gives me the startup sound (sounds like something moving) and won't come back if I open the lid.
There has got to be a solution. APPLE, FIX THIS. THIS IS RIDICULOUS.

IPhone black screen does not show anything, but I can hear that the device works. I hear the lock open the screen and hear the iPod but the screen remains black!!

It's happened to me before as well. Try holding both lock(top right) and home buttons simultaneously until u see a slight flash of wight then just reboot it normally. If that doesn't work try restoring your device from itunes

I have done absalutely nothing to my 4g apple ipod touch, and it over heats, won't hold a charge, and the front camera will not work. I bought this brand new in december, and i've barely used it. I've tried restarting it and everything, I honestly think this is out raging because i spend over $200 on this. To have for music and instagram. I use it about an hour a day, but i've only been using it for about 3 months although i've had it since December. Any suggestions that may help me?

Try:
- A reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at

- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

I get a black screen on the camera app on my iPod touch? Is there a solution? Resetting only helped for a few days, problem comes back.

Camera works, with the side buttons it takes pictures.
Although I'm not able to see on the screen.

First try a restore from backup
If problem still occurs try a restore to factory defaults/new Pod.
If still occurs likely a hardware problem and an appoitment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
