IPod touch screen blinking like crazy!
Hi,
I have the 1st generation iPod touch. I got it in the middle of June. It has been working fine until this afternoon. The screen has been blinking crazily and when its not blinking there is not a backlight. It also will not connect to wifi. Please help!

You can try to reset your iPod touch. Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears, but TBH if this doesn't cure it, then you should be looking at a return under warranty for repair / replacement.

My Ipod touch 4th generation screen keeps blinking off whatever screen I'm on to the lock screen. Then while on the lock screen it just blinks on and off like crazy! What can I do to fix it?
Okay well I spoke to soon! It has started doing again!! I'm afraid I'm going to have to send to Apple to get it fixed! I've tried restoring it, resetting it, and letting the battery die completely but nothing! Any more suggestions?

I go to touch an app or game button on my iPhone and the screen blinks like its trying to open, but nothing happens. Why and what do I do to fix it?
Are there any apps in the muti-tasking bar? If the app closed unexpectedly and appeared in the muti-tasking bar, end it. Double tap the home button and then hold the app until it starts to wiggle then tap the minus at the top left at the app (if you want, end all the remaining apps) try opening them now. Hope this helps! :)

my ipod touch screen doesn't respond but only if tap what i want and tap it twice again. it like tap and a double tap
I think you have an Accessibility feature turned on. Triple click the Home button and then try to go to Settings>General>Accessibility and turn all Accessibility features off. To scroll you may have to use three fingers. If proem see:

I would like to know if it is possible to change my ipod touch screen.
Yes. If you want to do it yourself, there are several retailers who offer replacement parts and step-by-step guides on how to swap out the display. One such place is http://www.ifixit.com/.
You can also choose to do an out of warranty exchange with Apple for the prices show on this page. They don't actually repair the iPod though, but instead swap out your iPod for a refurbished one of the same capacity and generation.

Lastly, you can choose a third party service center who can replace the screen for you. Google for "iPod Touch screen repair" for a number of results.

- 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.

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.

My iPod touch screen went fuzzy with pink and white stripes
Hello! I really appreciate if anyone would tell me what's wrong with my iPod touch.
I have been using my iPod touch for less than a year, and honestly, I have quite a bad habit: I always use it for playing games. And sometimes, I even use it while it is charging. Usually it's fine, nothing went wrong, so I keep doing the same thing sometimes.
one day, I'm visiting my relative and tried to charge my iPod. Since my iPod doesn't have an adaptor, I usually charge it using my laptop (the seller told me to charge it in a laptop/computer). One day, I borrowed my cousin's laptop to charge my iPod, but she only gave me an adaptor (not made for iPod or any apple products, but it fits so I thought it's okay). But the next day, I found out that my iPod went off by itself and I know that my battery isn't low.
I Tried to charge it using my laptop at home, but it still went off! Also, it went normal in my laptop (the iTunes appeared automatically, as a sign that my iPod is charging). So, I tried to restore it and I worked (at least I thought so), until I saw my screen went fuzzy (pink and white stripes). So, almost everyday I turn off my iPod, turn it on again, wait for a while, then use it normally. Usually it lasts 'normal' for hours, but it will still be error as usual.
So, my question is:
What makes my iPod touch screen went fuzzy?
Is it because I used it while charging?
Is it because I charged it with an adaptor that is not made for Apple products?
please help me, I don't know what else to do! I have restored it, I didn't download many applications like I used to before, and I left it alone when I was charging (I didn't play it while it's charging any more), and I even didn't turn on the Wi-Fi if I'm not using it (I almost NEVER turn off the Wi-Fi before my iPod touch went error)
Thank you for answering..Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
