IPod Touch Screen Flickering

I bought two iPod touches (32GB) from the same apple store. When I look at some pages on them the screen has a very faint but noticeable flicker. The flicker is not across the whole screen but only over certain areas. You can see it a lot on the dock. This problem is with both of the iPods and I was wondering if anyone else had the same problem. The screen also has a slight tint of green (only very slight. I compared my iPod to my sisters (both second generation iPod Touches) and my display looks darker (even though the brightness levels are the same) and she has no flickering or green tint. Are my 2 iPods from a bad batch?

  • Mi iPod touch screen flickers constantly after iOS6 update

    I have an iPod Touch 4th Gen and I recently downloaded the iOS6 update and tried to install it but after 12 hours of the black screen with the Apple logo and progress bar, I decided to just restore it because no progress seemed to have been made. After restoring it from my last back up which was earlier that day, it looked as if things were working fine but as soon as I unlocked my iPod, the screen started flickering rapidly between the normal screen and the updating screen that I was stuck with for 12 hours until it just took over completely and all I could see was the update screen. I tried pressing the home button and the lock button but it seemed to just be frozen. From what I could seen from the normal screen in the background, there was a message telling me that the update was complete.
    After a while of no progress, I attempted to restore it several times in hopes of it working smoothly but it always ended up the same as before. I was thinking of just restoring it to default settings because the only thing that I really need are my few thousands of notes that I've kept over the past years because everything else has been stored on my computer and so thinking that they were backed up on iCloud, I logged into iCloud and saw that only a few were transferred.
    Are there any suggestions as to what I could try?

    Try:
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • 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.

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

  • 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..

    - 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 another cable       
    - 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.

    If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
    Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
    ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5s. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
    You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:

  • 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.
