My iPod sceen popped off!?

I recently got my old gen 1 iPod back after replacing the screen. It is running iOS 6.1, not updating to 7 (which is slightly nice.). Last night, my iPod dropped and the screen came off the top. The iPod continued playing sound, and will still run voice over if I hold the home button. However, the screen in now black. It has no back light, or any view at all, and is unable to use touch. Therefore, I can't turn it off. I tried calling tech support, and they told me to turn it off, which I can't do. I tried treating it as the black screen of death, and the white screen, holding home and lock buttons and volume, etc etc. I tried to follow the steps to reset, restart, and even go into recovery mode. NOTHING has worked! The question I have is is there any way to get the screen to work, or does it need to be replaced? Thanks!

Try:                                               
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- 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.
- Try another cable       
- Try on another computer                                                       
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

However, I say it is not worth fixing unless y can get a used iPod very cheaply for parts

  • IPod 4th Gen Screen Popping Off

    Recently, my little brother noticed his screen popping off, we ignored it thinking it wouldn't move up any farther. About a month later, the screen is popped up so much, he can't use the home button anymore. Can we get it repaired? Also, can we exchange the iPod for a new one at Target or any other nearby store?

    If within warranty you can try go to eithr the place you purchaded it (If not Apple) or to an Apple store.  Make asn Appointment at the Genkus Bar of an Apple store.

    If the iPod was abused, 9e.g., dropped) that voids the Apple warranty.
    Apple will replace it with a refurbished iPod. If not underwarranty the exchange price is $99, $149 or $199 depending upon the capacity.

  • My Click Wheel Literally Popped OFF

    I've had my iPod now for about 2 months and I'll admit I take care of it like it was my own child. Anyway, I bought this plastic covering for it and it got really dusty one day so I took it off. When I took it off though my click wheel literally popped off. The wheel still works and all but the right side is elevated a bit and won't click back in as much as I try. What should I do? Just send it back in or is there a way I could fix it myself. PLEASE HELP!

    No the cover I have is just a screen cover. It doesn't even come close to the wheel. That's why I find this so odd. I read somewhere that you can take the wheel off to change the battery, but to do that you have to take off the faceplate, and trust me I have no idea how to do that. I'm just kind of peeved this happened. Heck I still have the plastic covering on the darn thing. Anyway, thank you for your advice. I would never of know to read the warranty if you hadn't brought it up. Thank you.

  • My iPod nano turns off by itself

    i just got myself the iPod nano 6th generation and i kind of like it. I like the fact that it has the fitness part on it. But i don´t like that my iPod turns itself off when i try to count my steps! i turn it on in the morning so that i could count my steps and run and do stuff. Now i have had that problem for like a week- i have to check my pedometer every little while to make sure it is still on, because as soon as it turns off, my steps are automatically stopped.
    someone, please let me know what might be wrong with the iPod? i got it by switching it (had the defected 1st generation iPod before) in January and now i have these problems
    Thanx!

    you know how there are three buttons on top of the iPod- two for volume and one to make your iPod sleep or wake or turn off. if you would like to listen to music while running and so that you wouldn't touch the screen by accident, you have to push the button once. and when you want the screen to pop on again, all you have to do is press the button again. it should work so that if you turn the music on and step-counter on and then put it on "fade-mode", all your actions should stay working. and as soon as you press the button again, everything should appean on-screen.
    what i was trying to say before was that my iPod turn compleately off when i would like to run or listen to music and so i lose all the data

  • Mid 2011 macbook air. command key has popped off and is now missing the 2nd metal bar. can this be replaced?

    The command key popped off my mid 2011 macbook air. It is meant to have two metal bars but can't find the 2nd one. I have clicked it back into place but if I press the button at the bottom the top pops up and I'm worried that if I don't fix the problem I may end up losing the key altogether!
    Can you buy replacement metal bars? should I just remove the other bar completely?
    Thanks in advance.

    Sorry, must have been the crackpipe I smoked last night! LOL
    You won't see anything in the Application Support --> Bootcamp folder unless you have previously downloaded the Windows Support Software. Good find.
    ADDENDUM STEP:
    This step should be placed between 9-10.
    Open Bootcamp Assistant. Uncheck everything BUT, "DOWNLOAD THE LATEST WINDOWS SUPPORT SOFTWARE FROM APPLE". You will be prompted to burn the image to a CD/DVD or save to a USB Key. Save the image to a USB key. This will format your USB key properly in preparation for the files. The download commences and if you're lucky, the files will simply be saved to your USB key without having to manually copy them over to the key using the steps above.
    IMPORTANT - Even if the support software hangs when its being saved to the USB key, you should now be able to navigate to the directory and see the image. Follow the steps above.
    Apologies for missing this.
    Best,

  • 7th Gen iPod Nano shuts off randomly

    My iPod Nano is just about my favourite piece of hardware that I've ever bought from apple. I'm primarily a pc user when it comes to computers, and having a basic, small iPod means I can listen to music and podcasts and leave the more complicated tasks to the equipment that I've spent more money on. However, my iPod recently started bugging out in a way that makes it nearly unuseable.
    The iPod will quite happily run for a day or so if I don't use the touch screen. This is fine for podcasts as I can use the volume and play-pause on the outside. However, if I want to make a choice on the screen, about one in five touches will cause the iPod to shut off. If I reset it, it will either flash the apple logo and shut off again, or get to the homescreen with the loading symbol, then make three short beeps and shut off again. General internet searches have proved fruitless, and although the iPod is cheap enough that I can buy a new one without it being too much of an issue, I would much prefer to keep that money for other things.
    Although apple hardware isn't my area of expertise, I believe that there may be some kind of issue with the battery, as there have been black-outs and brown-outs in my area and my iPod has ben charging during a couple of these. I was thinking that the RAM could also be in bad shape for some reason, but I did a dram test, which it passed. The iPod is currently in diagnostic mode, so I can give information on the battery and the like if that would help, but I have no idea what the numbers mean personally.
    My warranty ran out a few weeks ago and I live about two hours from the nearest Genius store, so bringing it back isn't really an option. Any help would be much appreciated.

    Well the bug appears to have been fixed by the 1.0.3 patch. My battery is still stuffed so I will have to buy a new one at one point, but at least this issue is sorted out.

  • Ipod Nano Turns off/on on its own

    hey guys.
    My ipod nano works like a champ, but all of a sudden it has started turning on all on its own. It also wont charge when its hooked up to the alarm clock/dock.
    weird.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks for your help!

    Make sure the battery is charged.
    When the iPod shuts itself off, try "resetting" ..
    Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • CD cover popped off and I need to put it back on

    Does anyone have a how-to for this? The plastic cover of the CD drive popped off of a machine I just got from another work site and I would like to try to put it back on. I tried the obvious, but it didn't work. Ideas?
    TIA,
    Karen

    You made me laugh with you. I added RAM to my wife's very nice eMac 1.42G and, in the process of upending it to get to the RAM service door, I knocked the outside cover all wonky and couldn't get it back on straight. A few minutes later, my 24-year old son dropped in for a quick visit, immediately saw the problem and fixed it.
    I'm supposed to be the geeky one but young eyes trump "old and busted" every time!

    Why does the top button always brake why as my screen decided to pop off why is the back of my case bending when I have never dropped it why dose this shity phone keep sending text messages as picture messages this is the worst phone av ever had!!

    I know a lot of people with iphone 5 and have never heard them complain about top button always brake and screen that decides to pop off or the back of their case is bending.
    That sounds like a phone that has been dropped a numerous times.

  • IPod turns itself off in dock

    I have a new iPod classic 160gb. From time to time, the iPod turns itself off while playing, but only while in a speaker dock. This has happened in two different docks, including the Bose SoundDock and the Griffin Journi. Somewhere midway through a song, the music stops, the backlight comes on, it goes into charging mode. If I hit play, it continues as if nothing has happened.
    I don't have a problem listening through headphones, anyone else see this?

    Add me to this list.
    Along with the frustrating, well known and widely shared iTunes freezing issues, my (second, first one returned)silver 160GB classic also experiences this 'shutoff' in my iHome dock. I haven't had this issue with my DLO Homedock deluxe, but when in my iHome speaker dock playback starts fine but then just shuts off midway through a song when it feels like it, then like was said, goes to the charging battery screen. So, this new iPod has made iTunes, old video docks and now even my iHome dock worthless. I've really begun to question the intellegence of this 'upgrade'.
