My ipod touch 3G overheated and wont turn on at all

So I usually park my car in the garage but the other day I had to leave it out. I left the ipod plugged inside the car forgetting to take it in. It was about 100 degrees outside and the car was parked in the sun all day and all night. The next morning I get in the car and realize i left it out and the heat. I picked it up and it was like there was heat generating from just the screen. Now every time I press on any part of the screen it makes a cracking noise.

Try:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
The heat may have damaged the iPod. An appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store may be in order.

  • My ipod touch is froze and wont turn off. any ideas?

    My ipod touch is frozen and wont turn off. I need help everything ive tried isnt working!

    Just had this similiar issue with my iPod.  Simple steps found through the Apple Support Website. Follow this link:http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1320, or follow instructions listed below to reset a frozen iPod nano/classic/color display/click-wheel, etc.:
    1) Toggle the Hold switch on and then off. (Slide it to Hold, then turn it off again)
    2) Press and hold the Menu and center buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears, about 6 to 8 seconds.  This step may need to be repeated. (*sidenote...I also found that the iPod would not respond/reset when it was connected to my computer. It just continued to state that it was connected and needed to be ejected before disconnecting.  I pulled the link cable out of the frozen iPod and followed the above steps and it reset normally.)
    Hope this helps...

    - 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 touch flashed once and wont turn back on

    I was on the schools wifi getting on youtube and my ipod screen flashed once and then went blank and will not turn on to charge (i had it plugged into the wall and the computer 2 different times for almost 2 hours each and nothing happened), will not turn on when hooked up to the computer when i try to restore it, it will not come on at all for anything
    Is it possiblle the school technichians hacked my ipod while i was on their wifi and disabled it?
    Ive tried holding the home and power buttons at the same time for 10 seconds. (didn't work)
    I tied holding both buttons for 15 seconds and releasing the home button. (didn't work)
    And i tried holding both buttons for 2 minutes. (didn't work either)
    Please throw any ideas at me that you think would work.

  • HT4972 My ipods screen is black and wont turn on unless plugged into the wall

    My ipods screen is black and wont turn on unless plugged into the wall not the computer but when i plug it into the computer and put it in DFU mode it wont restore there is an error 3194 and error 1602 and nothing i do helps

    Here's what I found about error 1602:
    Error 1600, 1601, 1602: Try the following steps to resolve this error:
    Ensure proper USB isolation troubleshooting has been performed, and test with a known-good cable.
    Follow the steps listed for Error 1604.
    This error may be resolved by disabling, deactivating, or uninstalling third-party security, antivirus, and firewall software. See steps in this article for details on troubleshooting security software.
    Error 1603: If you receive this error and the iOS device is not automatically placed into recovery mode, it may be necessary to do so manually. Refer to iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to restore for steps on placing iPhone into forced recovery mode. Also, remove the IPSW and attempt to restore again. If you do not want to remove the IPSW in the original user, try restoring in a new administrator user.
    Error 1604: This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, uninstalling and reinstalling USB ports, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections, device not recognized properly, computer won't recognize a FireWire or USB device). If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
    This device is not eligible for the requested build: Also sometimes displayed as an "error 3194." If you receive this alert,update to the latest version of iTunes. Third-party security software or router security settings can also cause this issue. To resolve this, follow Troubleshooting security software issues.
    Downgrading to a previous version of iOS is not supported. If you have installed software to perform unauthorized modifications to your iOS device, that software may have redirected connections to the update server (gs.apple.com) within the Hosts file. First you must uninstall the unauthorized modification software from the computer, then edit out the "gs.apple.com" redirect from the hosts file, and then restart the computer for the host file changes to take affect.  For steps to edit the Hosts file and allow iTunes to communicate with the update server, see iTunes: Troubleshooting iTunes Store on your computer, iPhone, iPad, or iPod—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you do not uninstall the unauthorized modification software prior to editing the hosts file, that software may automatically modify the hosts file again on restart. Also, using an older or modified .ipsw file can cause this issue. Try moving the current .ipsw file, or try restoring in a new user to ensure that iTunes downloads a new .ipsw.
    Error 3194 is also seen when somebody is trying to restore jailbroken devices.

  • And wont turn on at all. please help thanks.

    my ipod touch wont charge when i plug it into the computer or any source off power and wont turn on at all. anyone got any ideas of how i could maybe fix it. thanks.

    Have you tried using a different connecting cable?  Sometimes those or their connectors fail.
    If that doesn't work, have you tried connecting to iTunes and see if it is recognized?
    If not, might be time to visit an Apple Retail genius bar and have it checked out.
