My iPod Touch 4G (White) Screen is Cracked, and...

Hello. This is my first post on the message board. Today, by accident, my iPod touch 4th-Gen fell and cracked on the floor. So far, everything else seems to function fine, except the entire front and screen has been fragmented, and cracked. I can still turn it on and the home button is usable. My question is, what can I do to get my iPod touch repaired soon? I got in January, but I don't have AppleCare. Should I take it to the Apple Store (I live in Ontario, Canada) and ask them, or what else can be done? I still have the receipt and original packaging, by the way.
Thanks

Apple will replace the whole unit for a fixed price.

I don't think you'll find it much cheaper to go to a third party repair place.  The disadvantage with third party is also if the unit is still under general warranty a third party repair will void Apple ever looking at it again for anything.

    If not sucessful try:
    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • How can I unlock my ipod touch?  The screen is locked and has various languages on the sliding bar.  It wont let you touch it

    how can I unlock my ipod touch?  The screen is locked and has various languages on the sliding bar.  the screen is grey and the normal screen saver is gone.

    As a first attempt, try a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons untl the apple logo appears and it restarts, ignoring the red slider if that appears.

  • IPod touch apple logo screen blinking on and off

    iPod touch apple logo screen blinking on and off, unresponsive to physical touch. Frozen without looking frozen.

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

  • 4th gen ipod touch has white screen

    I have a 4th generation Ipod touch. The screen turned white all of a sudden for no reason. I've tried holding buttons letting it die and plugging it back in but the white screen is still there.It still makes noise. like the other day it was making a noise like someone was calling it. Then if I press the sleep/wake button and home button it takes a picture and I can hear the noise but still have the white screen. Does anyone know what I can do? Thanks

    try one of these ways:
    > restore you iDevice with iTunes in Recovery Mode (if you have to... back up your device before restoring)
    > let the battery go completely dead.... then plug it using USB to PC or Mac OS
    > replace the LCD with www.ifixandrepair.com
    > go to the Apple Store (official store not retail) and see what they can do. they can replace your device for refurbished price

  • IPod Touch 3G white screen after dropping, still works.

    I dropped my iPod Touch 3G a few days ago and it fell out of my pocket and hit the ground on its corner. I tried to use it and saw that the entire screen was just white, but it was still functioning. Everything still works but the screen is just white. Would purchasing a new LCD from eBay repair this? Considering they are around 10$ only. Thanks for the help.

    It might just be a software issue. Try #2 and #3 in link below. If neither work, you might need a screen.

  • How do I fix iPod Touch's white screen?

    Hello,
    So I'm having this problem with my iPod Touch 3rd Generation, where appears to be fully blank (white), and I've tried different methods that was mentioned on the internet including:
    Turn it on/off
    Hold home and power button for 40 seconds
    Restore iPod
    Drain the battery
    The thing is, none of these methods worked, sometimes it would go back to normal, but then 5 seconds later it will start flickering and turn white again. On a side note, everything works fine, that was how I managed to turn it off, so the iPod functions properly, you hear the sounds, but you can't see the screen 'cause it's all white. Just wanna ask if there's other methods I should try or should I visit the Apple Store (ps. I bought my iPod in another country )?
    Thanks,
    Eric

  • HT1212 Ipod touch with white screen

    My little brother was playing my ipod and now its got millions of seconds before i can access my ipod. Now tho the screen is white with static horizontal lines going across the screen, no pictures nothing so when i plug it into itunes, itunes ask for the passcode but i cannot see anything. What should i do?

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
    iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen                         
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: How to back up     
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        

  • IPod Touch displaying white screen

    I went on an app [called My Horse] and it displayed the loading screen like usual, then it froze like it has before, usually resetting the my ipod works to fix it. I set it down gently to let it load, and it suddenly displayed a white screen, then a opaque black overlay went over the light.
    I tried holding the lock/unlock and the home button for at least two minutes, and it still didn't do anything.
    I hooked it up to itunes, itunes doesn't register the fact that it's plugged in.
    Any ideas of what's wrong? Is it completly dead?
    It's not jailbroken and nothing has been messed with, I usually only visit wikipedia and twitter and use it for listening to pandora on it.
    It's been sitting on a white screen for a while now
    I really don't want to reset it, and I couldn't anyway because itunes won't register it as plugged up.

    Try the white-screen topic of the following. However, it is frequently a hardware problem.

  • Ipod Touch 2nd Gen screen is cracked!

    I had my Ipod Touch 2nd Gen for 6 and a half months. Yesterday, I sitting at my computer and I heard something fall. I turn to find out it was my ipod touch. I lifted up, not seeing the crack. I put noticed it when I put it in the light. Its one big one and then three long, but small ones. I did my research to see what I can do. Apple doesn't cover accidental. I know that. I was check around websites. Is it worth getting the screen fixed? Or should I just get a new one? I asked my family and they can't give me a answer.

    It depends on how much it costs to get it fixed. If it is a good bit of money to pay for a fix, then you might want to get a new 3rd Gen. They have faster performance.
