Ipod touch's screen stays a blank white? how do i fix the screen?

ipod touch slipped out of my hands and fell. when i tried turnin it on the screen was jus white and blank. I tried holdin down the home and sleep/wake buttons down at the same time but it didn do anythin. i tried pressin buttons over and over again but it still wont do anythin! i tried almost everythin i can think of! can anyone help?? :/

Same thing happened to me although I didn't drop it... just took it out of the docking station and immediately it suffered whiteout! After the Genius at the Apple store evaluated it, he determined that it was dead. No particular reason. Apple did, however, replace it with a brand new one at no charge since it's still under warranty. Hope yours is, too!

  • My ipod touch 4th gen froze! blank white screen and doesn't respond when turned off, or connected to my laptop

    my ipod touch 4th gen froze! only blank white screen and doesn't respond when turned off or connected to my laptop!

    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.

  • My IPod Touch 4g won't charge or sync, how do I fix it?

    I had my IPod Touch 4 generation for 2 years now and suddenly my ipod won't connect to my laptop nor to any other computer source in my household. Before my IPod would only sync and not charge, so I would had to figit with the sync cable connected to my IPod just so I can make it charge and sync at the same time. Now it won't do either and my laptop doesn't even recognize there's a device connected (It doesn't even say "Device has malfunctioned, Computer can't recognize device). I open Device Manager and no IPod connected at all. I tried different sync cables and it's not making any differences. My IPod is drain out of its battery right now and when I connected, the IPod screen stays blank and when I click the power button, All it tells me is that my battery is low and i need to connected to a power source to charge it even though I have it connected to my laptop
    Now I have this feeling that there is something wrong with my IPod, but I don't know what it is. is it: Old Age, The Battery's dead and needs to be replaced, The place, on the IPod, where you connect the syncing cable to the ipod is broken? I have no idea and I have things in my IPod that I need to get urgently. So is there anyway to fix this or do I have to go to an apple store and see what they can do
    Thank you for all your help, I gladly appreciate it

  • Why is my IPod Touch ? generation saying "no WiFi" and how do i fix it?

    I have an iphod touch, it does not have a camera but im unsure of the version. I have not used this ipod in several years but i need it for a back up. Anyways, it did not show the signal bars or anything, when i went into settings, there is not an airplane mode it simply just says "WiFi" and next to that option it said "No WiFi" it did not allow me to access for more details, it simply just said No WiFi. How can i fix this? i have done the normal things, make sure my WiFi is usable on other devices, such as the lap top i am using wirelessly right now. Also my mothers phone is capable of connecting to the WiFi.
    I have also restored the ipod completely, and reset it and i have also applied the 4.2 update (which is the latest for this version)
    Please help? it is my only source of portable technology and i need it for school, any information would be very helpful, but i have already done the basics, which are listed above. Please let me know!

  • I connected an old iPod from a different computer to my iTunes account and now my iTunes account will not let me download anything. My iPod touch will not take my password. How can I fix this?

    I connected an older iPod to my new iTunes account to download my new library to it. Now my new account is not recognizing my password and I can not download anything to my library and iPod touch, can you tell me how to fix this?

    Is your device recognized by your computer? If yes, copy the pictures and videos as shown in this article:
    Copying personal photos and videos from iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your computer
    If it is not recognized, try this first: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    Disable autosync in iTunes, right click on it in the device list and choose "transfer purchases" to copy apps and other media bought in iTunes to your new library.
    Do the same again and choose "backup", to create a manual backup without syncing.
    Since your device will be erased due to the new iTunes library during the first sync, you can use this backup afterwards to restore your settings and data.
    Set up at least one contact and event on your computer before you start, to be able to merge calendars and contacts.

  • My iPod touch 5 front camera isn't working, how do I fix it?

    My I pod touch 5 front camera isn't working. How can I fix it. I have also already tried to reset it multiple times.

    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  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."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.
