My ipod 5 touch screen doesnt work and shows vertical lines?

So, I was getting ready to go to my competition and my ipod 5th generation fell out of my pocket. It fell on the screen and when I looked it apeared to have no external damage.. I turned it on and it had vertical black, white, and even some blue lines on the screen. The touch screen since has not worked. The ipod apears to be fully functional, the time is changing and it conects to itunes. However I can not use my ipod because the touch screen doesn't work. My cousin is a tech nerd and he says that I internally broke the touch screen.
As for fixing it, I've been told a screen replacement will fix the problem. I have also heard that apple with not fix my screen but they will send me a new ipod and that is not what I want. Does anyone know where I can send it in to get fixed and for how much? Or where I can buy a screen replacement kit and how much that would be? And most importantly do you think replacing the screen will fix my problem?

  • My ipods touch screen doesnt work anymore i cant unlock my ipod

    my ipod was working fine for a while and then now all of a sudden the touch screen doesnt work at all. Ive restored it twice now and i cant unlock my ipod because the screen doesnt work..anything i can do to fix it or do i have to buy a new one?

    If you restored to factory defaults/new iPod and still have the problem you very likely have a hardwre problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • TS2771 HELP! My ipods touch screen doesnt work anymore!

    My ipod screen is not working! I updated to latest version. This started last few years (2011) and I thought it would stop, but it dosent work! Q.Q Help me pls

    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: How to back up           
    - 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.

  • 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.

  • How can i back up my apple iphone 3g its telling me to unlock the screene but i cant the touch screen doesnt work

    i have a apple iphone 3g and my touch screen doesnt work i tried to back it up to my itunes but its telling me unlock it i need my contacts off it like asap help

    If the touch screen physically doesn't work, it's too late to back it up. You should have been syncing your contacts with something... a cloud service or contact manager on a PC. If you were not, then I'm afraid you're going to lose them.

  • Freezing, touch screen doesnt work, call buttons d...

    Hi, ever since i updated my phone with that necessary update that kept bugging me my phone has been freezing and the touch screen doesnt work. It usually works fine after a night of charging, but that's just annoying and i shouldnt be doing this if the phone costs so much and ive only had it for half a year. 

    dont know what phone you have but go software update program (back up) and reinstall the latest software again via pc is better
    it works for me in the past

  • 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.

    Try restoring the iPod. First from backup and if problem persists, restore to factory settings/new iPod.
