My ipod screen is blank

On an earlier nano my sceen lights up but it is blank.

You can work through the remaining five 5 R's of troubleshooting.

It might also be a good idea to let the iPod's battery fully drain. Then charge it back up and restore it once more in iTunes.
Otherwise, it's likely a hardware issue with the iPod's LCD display, meaning you'll need to take or send your iPod in for service either via Apple or a third party repair service. Here is Apple's repair pricing.

Note that they don't actually repair the device, but exchange it for one of the same generation, model, and capacity.  A third party service will actually replace the damage part for a little less.  Google "iPod screen repair" and you should get a number of results to work with.

  • Ipod screen is blank

    My ipod screen is blank and doesn't show any display except it does have the lighted backscreen. I have restored to factory settings but no luck. Any suggestions?

    you already tried a reset? you PUSHED AND HELD the middle button and the menu button AT THE SAME TIME for 10 seconds? it may take a few trys and works best if hooked to power.

  • Ipod screen is blank and ipod has been fully charged??

    My sons iPod has been fully charged but will not turn on and/or screen is blank like it is off.

    Have you tried a hard reset to see if that can help your iPod boot up? To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.  This may take a couple of tries.

  • IPod screen goes blank!

    After my iPod got wet, I let it dry for a week, tried most of the five R's (the ones that would be appropriate for an iPod with a screen that wont turn on) and plugged it in to my iHome. It turned on, but (not-yay) after I unplugged it the screen went blank. I mean, I was pushed into the pool! Shouldn't that be covered in the warranty? People have dropped things like a cell phone into water and got a new one back free of charge. I would try sending mine in, but if I have to pay the idiotic diagnostic fee of $100 even if I dont get it fixed forget it!

    Tommy,
    See if you can put your iPod into disk mode...
    Putting iPod in Disk Mode
    Then try restoring...
    Restore the iPod
    Also, try letting it charge.
    Finally, why should Apple have to pay if your friend broke your iPod by pushing you into the pool? Make him pay for a new iPod.
    These people also fix iPods..

  • IPod screen goes blank and flashes - help!

    I recently got this ipod from the Apple store because my previous one broke. They gave me the ipod and right when I plugged it in, the screen turned an offwhite color, made a quiet buzzing sound and flashed. After a week of this it mysteriously started working so I didn't put much thought into it, I was just happy my iPod worked. Then after a month or two, it randomly started doing the same thing. No matter if I plug it in or not, the screen flashes a blank off white page. It's extremely frustrating. Since the Apple store is far away I didn't get to take my ipod in until a few days ago and when they plugged it in, guess what? It worked. The guy said the battery was just low. So I brought my iPod home and when I'm not using it, I have it plugged into my wall charger. This morning, I woke up and the screen was blank again! I don't know what could of caused this. Apple won't fix it so maybe you can help?

    It is also possible that your iPod has entered one of its "Sleep" modes. When it hasn't been used in a while, it goes through a couple of stages of this to preserve the battery's charge.
    Try pressing the iPod's center button to wake it from sleep.
    If this fails, start with a reset of the iPod (hold Menu & center buttons) and work your way through the rest of the 5 R's.

  • Ipod screen goes blank after ios 5 update

    I've been having this issue since the ios 5 update, but it seems that sometimes when I use my ipod on my ipad I hit either playlist, artist, or ect and my screen goes all black. A temp fix is powering the ipad off and on agian. I thought that with the release of the update to ios5 would fix it, but I'm still having the issue.

  • Ipod screen is blank except for Apple symbol.

    Hey,
    I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced this problem with their iPod touch. It recently just decidd to conk out. By conk out I mean it's a black screen with the Apple symbol. I've tried turning it off and turning it on again. But that doesn't work. I even left it off for a couple days but that didn't help either. I had a couple of apps on it...do you think maybe it has a virus? Is there anything I can do myself to fix the problem?
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    I have never heard of a virus on an unjailbroked iOS device
    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.
    - 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.

    My ipod screen is blank, how do I correct this problem?

    What do you mean by blank screen? Do you mean all black or is it completely white?  Have you done any of the usual 5 R's of troubleshooting yet?

  • Ipod nano 5th gen - works fine when plugged in either to wall or computer and appears to be fully charged but as soon as it is unplugged screen goes blank and will not start - is the battery shot?

    Ipod nano 5th gen - works fine when plugged in either to wall or computer and appears to be fully charged but as soon as it is unplugged screen goes blank and will not start - is the battery shot?

    Yes, your battery is likely toast and in need of replacement.  Not much else for troubleshooting here.  Sorry.

  • IPod Nano Screen is blank and dosen't turn on or off.

    I leave my ipod nano on for 2 seconds. Screen turns blank and dosen't turn on or off. iTunes dosen't recognize it. Nothing I do works. Charging dosen't work. iPod, however seems to be on sleep mode.

    After leaving the iPod to charge for a minimum of at least 30 minutes, have you tried a hard reset of the device? To do this, make sure the hold switch along the top is in the Off position, then press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

    i locked my Ipod 1st generation in zombie farm went to the toilet came back tried to unlock it but i cant screen was blank i have tried everything please help

    If you have tried everything, then by definition, there is nothing else to try.
    Perhaps if you explained what you tried someone can help.
    If you have actually tried everything, then there is nothing anyone can do to help.
    Did you try reset?

  • Video Ipod Screen "Blank"

    Hope someone can help......The ipod works (as far as playing tunes) Video screen is blank......Any Info as to
    how and if it can be repaired???????

    If it is under warranty I would take it to an apple store or request service online. It if has damage to the case, or excessive scratches more then likley Apple will not repair it. If this is the case or if it is out of warranty you can get it repaired at any number of third party repair places. or you can do it yourself. It is not that hard, I have done it and if you are at all handy it is not that hard. You can even get a late 2006 screen that is 60 percent brighter. You can use the brightness control like on the new late 2006 models. I found one on ebay for 22 dollars and the regular screens for as little as 10 dollars, they come with instructions and the tools to take them apart. I have replaced several screens and batteries on both the video and nanos and it is doable
