My ipod nano has a blank screen

my ipod nano has blank screen and will not show anything. I`ve tried to restore it but when i plug it into my computer it says that i didn`t plug it in. I`ve tried to call apple and ask what was going on, but every time i call it either get`s me a machine or it`ll keep ringing and ringing. I`ve tried to write, but no one has wrote me back. I had my ipod nano since November 17, 2005 and I still haven`t used it, can anyone help? I also tried to take it to electronic stores, but their services to help cost more than what I paid for my ipod, Please help!!
Thank u

You could try the 5r's, and disk mode.
Or you could call Apple 1-800-275-2273, I think there hours are 9-9 EST Mon_fri.
If you've had it a year I would call them and tell them it's not working and get the Apple Care.

MY IPOD NANO has a blank screen and wont turn on!! HELP

My ipod screen is blank and it seems to be frozen that way! I've tried charging it overnight. Yet, in the morning... no results. I cant reset the ipod because it can't be turned on. I've checked the hold button and that's also good to go. Help!?!?

My ipod nano has a white screen, how do i fix this?

My Ipod nano has acted weird for the past week, then yesterday the screen goes white!! I don't know how to fix it or what to do.

If a hard reset of the device or a restore of it via iTunes does not resolve the issue, it's likely hardware related. Could be a damaged LCD or a loose ribbon cable that connect to your iPod's logic board.
Either way, your iPod will need servicing in order to gain full functionality of it.

Hi there,
I have just purchased a 2nd hand ipod nano 3rd gen. When I received it the screen was in working order but everything from the previous owner had been wiped. I attatched to computer and all seemed well, attached it then to itunes and at first it seemed to go ok, however screen then went blank and froze.
I am now unable to restart ipod. ipos is still being recognised by itunes so I tried to restart ipod whielst attatched to itunes to to try and put into play mode but still no joy, no apple appearing on screen.
Ipod was fully charged.
Any ideas please as I am not the most technical of people and its slowly driving me mad
Kind Regards
Lindsey

How did you try and reset the iPod? To reset the iPod, first make sure the hold switch is in the Off position, then press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together at the same time long enough for the Apple logo to appear. Don't be afraid to try this procedure more than once.

While the device is in disk mode, sync it to iTunes and try to restore.

Help! My ipod nano has a white screen and won't unfreeze!

I have tried holding down the menu and the centre button, but the apple screen doesnt appear, it just stays blank. If you tilt it in a certain light, you can see lines, and the music plays when plugged in the docking station, so something is there, and i have also restored to factory settings on itunes, but its still a blank white screen

Try holding down the power button on the top with the home button in (round one) wait about 10-15 seconds to see if the apple logo comes up>if it does let go if it doesnt >open iTunes on computer plug iPod in & se if iTunes see's it. If it does restore AS NEW> if it doesnt try remove iPod from computer but leave cable connected to computer hold down round button & connect again Keep round button held down wait about 15 seconds & see if you see the iTunes symbol on iPod with usb cord>if you do keep the round button held down & wait for iTunes on computer to give you message to restore>restore ...If symbol does not show up & you are not able to restore device will need to be replaced

My iPod touch has a blank screen and won't turn on. Help?

It went blank and I've tried to restart it (pressing the home and screen buttons) but that won't work either. I've connected it to a computer but the computer doesn't recognise it. It's been an hour and it still won't work. I even tried connecting it to the portable speaker which also charge and it won't do anyhting with that eiher.
also I'm not sure which operatine system it is. iSO something. he most recent one you can get on an iPod touch.

1; Do a hard rest by holding the buttons at least 15 seconds. Does the Apple logo come on?
2. Hold the power button down for at least 5 seconds. Do you see the battery symbol?
If the answer is no to both questions, you most likely have a hardware issue--possible bad battery.

My second gen iPod touch has a blank screen, and won't turn on or charge in an AC outlet. When plugged into iTunes, it is completely recognized and synced, but the screen remains blank and off. What can I do?

Hello.
I recently woke up this morning to use my iPod Touch (2nd Gen) to find that it was completely unresponsive to both buttons and would not turn on. I had been using it the night before and had not charged it. Thinking the battery was drained, I plugged it into a wall outlet for two hours, and still no sign of life on the iPod. Plugging it into the computer, it immediately showed up in iTunes and synced normally, and even indicated it had nearly a full charge. Still, however, the screen showed nothing. I checked the lock and home buttons to see if it was stuck, but it was not. Does anyone have an idea of what this is? Do I need to get my iPod repaired? Any help would be appreciated.
I am running iOS 4.1, and am out of warranty coverage.
Thanks,
- Justin

6th gen ipod nano has white screen and won't go into disc mode

My ipod nano has a white screen - it will play music, and it is recognized by itunes. It won't enter disc mode. I can't seem to find any other helpful steps to follow online other than put it into disc mode and restore it via itunes. When I attempt to put it into disc mode holding power/Vol down together the screen will turn back, but when I then hold down Vol down/Vol up together while the screen is dark it just goes back to white screen. I did plug it into the computer and restore it via itunes, and the screen is still white. Any ideas? Thanks!

Hi LizS5,
It sounds as if you have already done much of the troubleshooting suggested in this article, but I would suggest you work through it in order to get your iPod nano back up and running -

http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3474
Specifically -
Try putting the iPod into disk mode:
Reset the device (press the Sleep and Volume Down buttons simultaneously until the display turns black—about eight seconds).
When the display turns black, hold down the Volume Down and Volume Up buttons simultaneously until the device enters Disk mode.
While the device is in disk mode, sync it to iTunes and try to restore.
And if the issue is not resolved -
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?

Hi,
