My ipod got wet and now the screen does not respond to touch

i droped my ipod touch in some water and used the rice method to save it but now now it will turn on but it won't respond when i try to touch it. any ideas

Try restoring to factory defaults/new iPod. If yu still have the problem then it appears that the water damaged your iPod and service is required.

  • My ipad2 is nearly useless since the instalación of ios8.0.2, the screen does not respond to touch, wifi freezes

    SInce the installation of IOS8.0.2, my iPad 2 is nearly useles. The touch screen does not work, wifi freezes constantly, I am requested continuous to input my iCloud username and passcode. And the system is soooo slow that I have started to use again my old pc to do Internet searches. I have tried the iPad turning off and on but the problems restart shortly afterward. Any suggestions what can I do ? Is Apple doing anything in this regard?

    (A) Try reset iPad
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    (B) Try reset all settings
    Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings
    (C) Setup as new (data will be lost if you do not have backup)

  • Iphone4S : a column of the screen does not respond to touch.

    There is a section, a thin coloumn on the right side of my screen that is irresponsive to touch.
    I cannot type my password because a part of the keyboard is there (And interestingly all keyboard layouts had that key at the same spot)
    I tried wiping my iPhone yet the problem persists.
    I originally bought the phone in the UK, I am now in Thailand and none of the "official retailers" give a ****. There are also no apple stores in Thailand.
    I tried wiping my data (Ouch) and resetted everything to factory settings

    If the iPod is defective and not abused Apple will exchange it at no cost under your warranty.
    Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

    If restoring the phone as new did not solve your problem, you'll need to bring the phone to Apple for evaluation.

  • I updated to ios 7 and now the battery does not stop charging any ideas, or have to wait for update? thanks

    i updated to ios 7 and now the battery does not stop charging any ideas, or have to wait for update? thanks

    To show the battery percentage used go to settings
    from there click general scroll to usage and select
    scroll to bottom of page for battery usage select on.
    This will show the icon battery and the percent numbers on the top right.
    When phone is connected to an outlet sometimes it does not always show complete charge. I do not understand why but it is what it is.
    FYI I sent reply to you not to deggie. You can have your own satisfaction to reply direct.

  • My iphone 5 screen does not respond to touch at all

    I don't know what has happened to my phone.  The screen does not allow me to even swipe to unlock it.  It has lines all the way up the screen of different colours.  There is no cracks in the screen or anything like that and I dont recall dropping the phone.  The only buttons that work are the home button and the on/off switch.  I have tried to reset it but that doesnt work. Any ideas what could have happened and what I can do?

  • My ipod got wet and now it keeps turning on and off.

    i got my ipod wet and now it doesn't even have enough power to charge. it just keeps turning on and off

    - Yes. Restoring the iPod erases the iPod.
    - Try a reset to:
    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.
    - Try placing the iPod in Recovery mode and then restoring
    - Next try DFU mode

    - If you can't turn it off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for  at least an hour try again.

  • MY IPOD GOT WET AND NOW IT WON'T TURN ON! D8

    Help! My iPod was in my bag and my water bottle leaked all over everything and I had not discovered my iPod was wet until I got home. D8

    I've heard a lot of different theories on how to revive water-damaged iPods. You should search the forums--you will most likely get hundreds of similar posts. Methods I can think of off of the top of my head are:
    1. Put in a warm bowl of rice in a warm spot
    2. Put on a sunny windowsill for several hours
    3. (probably don't try unless you're totally desperate) put in a warm oven on a towel with the door open for a very short time
    These are only a few options... if you use the search option you will find many, many more.

  • I dropped my ipod 2nd Generation, and now the screen turned white   there're many cracks in the screen. But im pretty sure the touchscreen still works. Is there any way my screen can work again? so that it isn't white? pls help

    Please help

    I'm in no way an iPod technician - but I have the same model as you.  If you have cracks in the screen, I'm pretty sure you need to get the screen replaced.  You can see what's involved by looking here:
    http://www.rapidrepair.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=cp-ipodtouch2g
    Unless you're already an electronic technician, you'd be better off having it repaired.
    Having said that, you might compare the repair price with what a newer iPod Touch would cost you.  Here's just one sample page with pricing:
    http://www.amazon.com/iPod-Computers/b?ie=UTF8&node=13660271
    If you buy a used one, it might be just a little more than the repair cost.
    (.....strange - I just came here to the forum to ask a questioin about my own iPod 2nd gen device, which I might be replacing with a newer one....)
