Lcd sreen cuts on and off

The sleep/wake button at the top doesnt work at all and when i press the home button to get the screen to come on sometimes it does but mostly stays off or when the screen does show and i slide to unlock it the screens cuts off again.Its a 2g ipod touch anybody know what to do?

Try the sandard fixes (as allowed by the switch problem) to rule out a software problem.
- Reset:
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.
- Restore from backup
- Retore to factory defaults/new iPod
If you still have the problem an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    If your phone is not covered by the warranty anymore, Apple will replace it for a new device, same model and size, if you are willing to pay the service fee.
    If you decide to get a 3rd party company to do the repair, Apple will not service your phone anymore after that.

    If your repair isn’t covered by Apple’s One Year Limited Warranty, AppleCare+, or AppleCare Protection Plan, your iPhone might be eligible for out-of-warranty service. For example, liquid damage isn’t covered by warranty but might be eligible for out-of-warranty service.

  • My iphone cut off while using itunes and now it wont work. it cuts on and off and it wont restore.

    while putting music on my iphone from itunes my iphone suddenly cut off. it wouldnt come back on unless hooked up to charger and even then it turns on and off.. i have tried restoring it but it wont work. it actually restored once but it just started doing the same thing within an hour. every other time it errors out. what can i do?

    Hi emfletcher!
    If you have already tried restoring the iPhone, then the next troubleshooting step to address this issue would be to try putting the phone into recovery mode and attempting a restore from there. I have an article for you that can help you perform these steps:
    iOS: Unable to update or restore
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
    In order to fully troubleshoot and isolate issues, I would recommend not restoring from your backup after you finish this procedure. Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!
    Cheers,
    Braden

        @BrandiCe
    I can imagine this has become a frustrating experience for you!  I would love to assist with resolving this wireless issue for you.
    When did this problem begin?  Had you recently installed any new applications or recently updated your device software?  How often does your device power cycle?  Is it happening when performing any specific tasks on your device?  Please let me know so that I can further assist.  Thanks!

  • New LCD Monitor Blinks On and Off

    I just purchased a new 22" Visionmaster LCD monitor, connected via digital cable to my ATI Radeon 128Mb video card.
    However, it tends to switch OFF to a black screen, and after about 5 seconds it comes back on. The screen displays the word DIGITAL in the upper right hand corner.
    Why is this happening, and what can I do to avoid it?
    It doesn't seem to like using the digital cable. It works fine using the standard VGA cable, however.
    Can anyone comment on this? Is this particular card not compatible?
    Thanks!

    Hello! Look in your system prefs under the screen saver and see if a "hot corner" is set. It sounds like the mouse is trying to trigger a screen saver or the "display slep" is set to only a few seconds. I've seen this type of behavior with my Dell screen and it's something I'm triggering with the mouse. Tom

  • How do I prevent my Bluetooth from cutting on and off while driving?

    Hi. Just bought a Honda Pilot 2013. I have been having trouble pairing the car's phone system and my Galaxy S III so that it works consistently. If the car is moving and I'm talking on the car phone, the call will switch back and forth between the speaker on the handheld phone itself and the car phone. This also happens if you are trying to listen to Pandora - while driving the music will be playing on the car speakers and then it will drop off and the screen will say something like 'Can't locate a bluetooth device'. If the car is in 'park', this doesn't seem to be a problem. And, in either situation, the bluetooth on my phone says it is 'On.'
    Any ideas on how to fix this problem?

        Dear DavidLeon65,
    Good afternoon. I am sorry to learn of the difficulties you are experiencing with the bluetooth connection in your car. I know this can be frustrating. It would be my pleasure to address your bluetooth concerns.
    When the bluetooth connection drops out, is the phone near you? Also, do you have Wi-Fi turned on? If so, please turn off Wi-Fi, then test. What software version do you have? For directions on how to check the software verison on your phone, click http://vz.to/SrMyDh

  • Phone cycles on and off.  I have restored and so has the apple store.

    I had a screen sensitivity issue with my original 4s.  It would react to my finger getting within about 1/4 inch of the screen, and would auto dial without anyone touching the screen.  Fortunately, It happened to actually do this in front of one of the 'geniuses' on my third trip to the apple store so they replaced the phone about 5 months ago.  I was given a 90 day warranty on the new phone.  It worked fine until last week.
    It started cycling on and off.  Then it wiped the phone and all of my apps.  I restored the phone but there would be a noticeable hesitation between when I touched the screen and when the touch registered.  This went on for two days.During those two days the power indicator did not ever show any indication there had been any battery drain, but always showed 100% charged, days, then went dead without ever showing it was discharging.  I took it to the Apple store.  They tried to do the same restore I had.  The phone came back on, but then cuts on and off to the Apple logo.  The battery will take a charge, but as it sits on the charger it cuts on and off.  The store solution was for me to purchase a new phone since they either had no idea what the problem was, or wouldn't tell me.  The phone has not had rough treatment or been exposed to water or excessive moisture.   Any suggestions?

    try to force restore using: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
    If that doesn't work, I'm afraid the device needs another hardware repair.
    Please note that using that article will erase everything so make sure you've got a backup.
    But restore it AS NEW if it's at all possible.
    Good luck

  • I created a publisher file, saved it as a pdf. The problem is I created it landscape and it only shows portrait cutting the sides off my document.

    I created a publisher file, saved it as a pdf. The problem is I created it landscape and it only shows portrait cutting the sides off my document.

    Sounds as if you used Microsoft software to make a PDF. If so, and you didn't use Adobe Acrobat ($$), then you need to get help with Publisher -- Adobe Reader only shows what you make.

  • Shuffle 4th gen cuts some songs off and goes to next song.

    Shuffle 4th generation will cut some songs off and then starts next song.
    Some play almost to the end and some will move on only about half way through the tune.
    Seems to move on at about the same spot in the song each time.
    I have removed the songs and retranfered them in itunes - that does not help.
    It does this in both "shuffle" and play in order modes.
    Any idea on how to fix this ?

  • New 5th generation headphones keep turning on and off my music. Which wire do I cut to disconnect the control system for the right earbud

    The wires are probably loose in the rubber and the control panel on the right ear bud keep turning on and off my music, summoning s voice, and turning up and down my music. It's really obnoxious and I would like to know which wire to cut to disconnect the control panel. Thanks.

    I had exactly the same issue when connecting my new BLACK 60mb Video iPod to connect to my PC via USB 2.0.
    The iPod kept Crashing & Freezing also iTunes become unstable and very slow, it kept saying "unable to write to disk" every 5 minutes and I had to disconnect & re-connect for the same message to show again in 5 mins later, it eventually told me not to disconnect the iPod. However, after 30 mins i just did it.
    I then opened iPod updater and re-attached my ipod with USB 1.
    This seemed to take an age to recognise (5 mins +) but bear with it. Once it was connected I reinstated to factory settings, once I did this it automatically told me to update my software to 1.1.1.
    When I then opened iTunes it again took 5 mins to connect, but it then started to transfer my music, which took over 6 hours to do 22MB.
    Having said that I have had no "can not write messages"
    Today I have conencted (again taking 5 mins to connect) but it has transfered over 1000 photos in under 4 mins and updated all tunes.
    hope this helps,

  • Having a problem with iphone 4S. Phone calls are getting dropped and cutting in and out.

    I seem to have very little or no service at all recently.
    All my calls are cutting in and out or hanging up in the middle of a conversation. I have to stand in the corner or my kitchen to get a clear call or get at least 2 bars.
    I called Verizon yesterday and tried a few things they suggested but nothing worked.
    I dont have another phone to call them back on since they suggest we call from a different phone until the late evening. Someone was supposed to call my back and never did.
    Not sure on what else to do.
    I am extremely frustrated and annoyed that I cant even really use my phone.
    HELP

    If the on/off switch does not work, that is a hardware problem. The other problems may be related to a hardware problem or faulure as well.
    Make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby to confirm.

  • IPhone 4 shutting on and off randomly and says restore necessary?

    So I was on my phone using Safari when all of a sudden it shuts off and will not respond, I tried the awake+menu and alas to no avail so I plugged it in to my wall charger and it powers on saying that it's at 100% and that it's Wednesday December31 at 7:01 then says a restore is necessary and is now randomly shutting off and on. In addition the time is changing within a few minutes of what it was before every time it comes back on. It also says cannot make or receive calls and that a restore from iTunes is necessary and it says apple.com/support. But I am not with my computer and will not be so for another couple days. Is there anyway I can do this from my phone it will not allow me to access Wi-Fi or 3G the signal bar says Searching... Lastly, when disconnected from the cord it will cut off and not respond. Sorry this was long, and somewhat crazy, but any help will be much appreciated!!

    Update: in one of the rare moments it was on I turned it off and let it sit for ~1 min and now it seems to be fine I regards to powering on and off and the time/date and battery charge yet the signal is still searching and it won't stay on unless connected to power source

  • External Display flashes on and off will not stay on.

    When I turn on my Samsung external LCD display which is connected to the iMac, it flickers on and off and will not stay on. What could cause this problem. I tried different resolution settings to no effect. I had been using the display without problems until recently. I wonder if it was a system software update.

    Are you using some sort of adapter to hook it to the Mac? I know on my iMac that I use an external monitor on I use a mini DVI to VGA connector. If you are using something like that it could be the adaptor.
    I would think if it was software there would be more posts on it. Yours is the only one I have read on this subject.
