my ipod classic comes on but just a white blank screen what is the problem

Gloria,
If none of the 5 R's resolve the issue, it's likely that your iPod's display is damaged and needs replacing of the ribbon cable for the display that connects to the logic board has come loose or is damaged.  Either way your iPod will need to be serviced in order for it to regain full functionality.
Here are the 5 R's.

  • Whenever I press the unlock button on my iPod touch 4g it shows just a blank white screen. Brand new iPod, never dropped.

    Ive restored it but it hasn't been working. When I press the unlock button it turns white. This happens usually always but sometimes if I get lucky it'll work fine. I got this iPod off amazon and that is how it came. Any suggestions?!

    I've done that multiple times but it doesn't fix it, because when it's back on, the problem happens again. I've even called Apple and they told me to restore it, and I did, but still nothing changed, exept that I've lost everything on my Ipod Touch.

  • You Tube videos don't play. The site comes up, but a blank white screen where the video should be.

    When I try to play videos from You Tube, I get a blank white screen where the video should be. When I go to full screen the whole screen is white. Originally the white screen happened on the expanded view only.
    IE doesn't have the problem, but Google chrome and Firefox 4.0 do.

  • The sound quality of my speaker suddenly got really poor when playing music or videos.  Sounds like an old AM radio or Sputnik.  Pretty sure it's hardware related but maybe not.  Thoughts on what the problem might be and if it can be repaired?

    The batterys the ipods come with are very sensetive somtimes they dont react right to the first couple of charges. Try fully charging it and then leaving it on until its completely drained a few times. If that doesnt work it might be a lemon.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - 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.

  • Downloaded Premiere elements 10 app, but just get a white screen??

    I have just bought this app and it wont open properly, it just shows a white screen. Can anyone help?

    >still think I need to update
    Yes... no computer company builds one at a time with the "then current" software drivers for all hardware
    A "master tape" (or hard drive image) is made at some point in time, with Operating System and Device Driver software current as of THAT date
    That production master is then copied on each computer's hard drive during assembly... which means the master may be several months out of date
    So... you are using a macbook pro... what about the rest of the questions in the links I posted?

  • I can't connect to game centre - suddenly just a blank white screen?

    Please help - I've had my ipad for a few years and never an issue - all of a sudden yesterday Game Center won't open - none of my games connect so I logged directly on to the Game Center app icon and it just brings up a blank white screen. I have logged out of my apple account and logged back in again, I have switched the ipad off completely and then switched on again, I have checked that wifi is connected and I have gone into settings to open the game centre settings and again it just hangs - it has my Apple ID at the top and then a blank screen underneath. I'm at a loss what to try next ... Any ideas welcome!! Thank you.

    reset all settings
    settings-general-reset-reset all settings
    now reconnect to wifi
    settings- wifi- click network name- enter password - join
    if issue persists back up and restore as new via iTunes
    Peace, Clyde

  • I now get a blank (white) screen in the Viewer.  Can still drop video from the viewer into the canvas, but don't see it in the viewer.  Please help!

    It doesn't seem to matter what project I'm working on... the picture in the viewer is gone.  All I see is a blank (white) screen.  If I put the cursor over the viewer and drag to the timeline, the clip will appear on the time line (and in the canvas) but I don't see it in the viewer.  I usually edit my clips in the viewer and not on the canvas.  Can anyone explain why this might be happening and how I might fix.  I'm suspecting I must have messed up one of the settings but I'll be darned if I can figure out which one or how to fix.  Please help!

    David.  Thank you very much.   The problem was not with the canvas but rather the Viewer.  But the solution was the same.  Somehow, the Viewer window was re-set to Alpha.  I changed it back to RGB.... and the picture is back.   These issues are often very simple.... but they can drive you bats if you don't know the answer.   Very grateful.  Tim
