IPod Touch Screen Negative Black

Well I just got an 8gb Touch from Costco yesterday.
I tried it out, and I'm about 70% sure I have one of the defective screen where the black is showed wrong.
Is there any Official or real way to test if you have the defective screen.
Also can I go to my Apple store (Even though I bought it at Costco) and have them test it, and replace if I do have the defective one?
Thanks,
-Ryan

From what I can see my Ipod is a week 40 One. It starts (Number)(Letter)740 then the rest. From what I can see the 40 is the week 40 etc.
Anyway, From what I can see my touch passes the color test thing (Figure A)
Figure B it failed because I can BARLEY make out the black row.
Figure C it COMPLETLY failed, I cant see ANY squares on my ipod until number 8. All the squares before are not even there, or they are exact color as background.
Figure D it passed because there is no blue when I get white colors.
The only reason I am worried is because it totally failed figure C.
Should I take it into my Apple Store and can they check somehow?

  • 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.

  • IPOD touch Screen is blacked out. I charges and itunes recognizes it, only the screen remains black. Is there any way to fix this Problem. I have the latest software update and I restored it several times, but screen remains blacked out.

    My IPOD touch 4th gen screen does not display.  The software seems to be working and itunes recognizes the device.  I have restored it and reset the IPOD several times but the screen is still black.  What can I do to fix it? your help is very much appreciated. I do not have access to an apple store since I am stationed in Afghanistan. 

    If you restored to factory defaults/new iPod (you did not say the type of restore your performed) and are still having the problem that indicates a hardware problem. An appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order..

  • My iPod touch screen has blacked out on me and i cannot unlock it or anything and if i try to restore it or resync it still stays black. What do i do?

    Please help

    Is it still charging? If yes, let it charge for about 10min, then connect in recovery mode, explained in this article:
    iOS: Unable to update or restore
    If this is not working, or the iPod does not charge anymore, you'll have to get it serviced or looked at by visiting an Apple Store next to you:

    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....

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - 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.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • 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.
