Ipod Touch screen black/ Glitching

My iPod Touch (4th Gen) Stopped working around November time. I was listening to music and the whole iPod just cut out and reset itself, and when it turned back on the screen lit up but remained black and alternated between two different patterns of glitches.
The touch still works as i can still enter the numbers for my password. Ive tried everything from holding the lock/Power button and the centre button so the silver apple is displayed which doesnt resolve the problem. Ive tried restoring it to factory settings by using itunes, and i have also tried allowing the battery to die and remain dead for a few months hoping it might cause a reset to remove the fault.
Im just wondering if i can fix it without having to spend money for a new one or get it repaired by someone.

If you successfully restored (went through all steps without error) to factory settings/new iPod via iTunes (Not via Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Setting) and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store..

  • Ipod Touch Screen Black Lines

    I use 3g ipod touch 8Gb product. I press the middle button iPod while you sleep. IPod wakes up. Looking at the clock. After waiting for a self-closing. Ipod again going through sleep mode. Horizontalblack lines appear on the screen. These lines are slowly disappearing. It was removed at a time, such as batteries. IPod saw no damage. Ipod did not fall into any water. I look very good to my device. I use the most recent firmware. Please help me in this regard.

    - After charging for half an hour see if placing the iPod in recovery mode will allow iTunes to see the iPod so you can restore the iPod. For recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    - Next try DFU mode

  • Why is my ipod touch screen black and when i try to turn it on it won't turn on ?

    i was listening to my ipod last week and it went dead , so i plugged it in to my laptop to charge it & to download some songs , the icon that shows its charging didn't come up so i left it in for an our or 2 but my computer still detected the ipod & itunes came up straight away, so wen i went back to it it still wasn't charged so i tried to turn it on the screen went white for a few seconds and ten back to black , my ipod still won't come on. anyone ave any idea's?

    Sorry to hear that you're having problems. Tried a restore with iTunes? If not try it and it should work. If this does not work, take it to your local applestore as ths COULD (not saying it is definately) be a Hardware issue.
    Hope this helps, Let me know hoe you get on!

  • TS2771 iPod Touch Screen Black.

    When I reset iPod I see Apple Logo flash for .25 of a second, then Nothing, Black.  iTunes and iOS are current. Restored to Factory Default, Nothing.
    I can hear it take Photo, connect to Charger, and see iPod in iTunes. 
    When I connect to my PC I cna see the photos I took.  I see a photo of a fully charged locked iPod and each photo has a different language in the slider bar.
    Ideas?

    Problem existed. I restored from backup.  Not resolved.  I reset using backup. not Resolved. I Reset to New. Not Resolved.
    All I get is a .25 second flash of apple logo, and then can see the photos I took in the photo folder when connected to my PC.

  • Ipod touch screen went black and then started flashing. Then the turn off slide comes up.

    Ipod touch screen went black and then started flashing. Then the turn off slide comes up. Restored multiple times and didn't work. Ipod works with Itunes fine (can put music and podcasts on the ipod), but can't take songs off of the ipod. Using windows xp and everything is up to date. Any ideas of how to fix it?

    I didn't know that it was posted three times. My computer didn't say that it posted anything.
    My ipod still syncs to itunes and I can put podcasts and music on my ipod, but I can't delete songs after I put them on the ipod. When I try to delete songs I try to delete it from the main music list on the ipod. It's also doing all the other stuff that I posted before. The screen will go black and then the power off slider thing shows up for a few seconds, then it'll show the unlock slider bar. Then goes black again. It will also do that when I have the ipod unocked and changing songs or playing a game. I've restored it to the factory default/new ipod and it still does the same thing. I've uninstalled and reinstalled itunes and then restored it again to the factory default and it's still doing the same exact thing. I checked and my computer is up to date.

  • Black screen, ipod touch has black screen wouldn't charge

    My Ipod Touch screen has gone black. No activity. I have already tried to hold home /power for more than 10 second nothing come back. I even tried holding down arrow + home + pwer together.
    When I connect to my computer, sometime it says unable to install driver too. Any suggestion

    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.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                       
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Can you replace a black iPod touch screen with a white iPod touch screen?

    The real point is Kappy gave you a link to a list of video demonstrations of changing the digitizer to show you that what you intend to do can in fact be done.  However, not once but TWICE you questiofed what was freely given to you, and you obviously didn't take the time or make any effort to find out if white framed digitizers are available.
    The fact of the matter is, white framed digitizers are available, and rather inexpensively I might add.
    My post with the outrageous prices was intended to trigger some of your obviously dormant gray matter into some form of activity that might just resemble intelligent human thought and maybe generate a giggle or two.  Guess I was wrong....  But at least now I know why you have a picture of a box of rocks for your avatar....

  • IPod Touch Screen Problems

    I understand some of the early iPod Touch screens had terrible screen problems. I have purchased an iPod Touch as a Christmas gift. I fear it may have screen problems. Can anyone out there tell me if Touches with serial numbers:
    1A737XXXX
    are ok or not? Should I try to exchange this before Christmas to avoid a big disappointment??
    It is past the 14 day return/exchange date so I'd have to get special permission from the store to exchange it, obviously. But if the screen is bad on Christmas day they will have to exchange it anyway. What do you all think?
    Thanks!

    yea usually those do have the problem but that depends on how picky u are with ur blacks. I still think that you should try it first and see how ur own preferences work. Otherwise, you would never be satisfied with an ipod always thinking that it will have this "disease" you have ever even experienced before.

  • Apple iPod Touch Screen Color

    Will Apple iPod Touch Screen Color Change? Will there be a white screen version soon? Since the apple iPod touch accessories are mostly white, it would be nice to have a white screen instead of a black screen to go with that; especially around the Christmas holidays. Many people are expecting to purchase them as presents for their families and friends. If apple was to change the screen color for the ipod touch 4G, it would get more people to purchase them just because of the color.

    Hello Cora1983,
    I meant screen frame. It is black, will there be a white screen frame version coming soon?
    Nobody here would know for sure since this is just a user-to-user forum. Personally, I haven't heard of such, so as of now, probably not. Perhaps you can suggest this to Apple through this link.

  • My ipod touch screen is broken and whenever i press the lock screen button, the screen is white, what can i do to fix this?

    so my ipod touch screen is broken, and whenver i try to unlock the ipod screen, all that i can see is the top right hand corner of my ipod, and the rest is all whited out. Also, the jack which support the headphones to stay in place, one of the balls in the jack is pushed in which causes the headphones and stereo jack to slip all the time. I also have a problem which is when i try to sync my ipod to itunes. Last time i did it(which was 4 years ago), i synced my ipod and i started out with 225 songs, after the syncing process was complete, i ended up with 119 songs. I'm afraid to resync my ipod or back up my ipod to a computer because i dont want to lose the wonderful collection of 589 songs i have now. I'd really appreciate it if i got some feedback. Thanks.

    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.
    Apple - iPod Repair price                                    
    A third-party place like the following maybe less. Google for more.
