My ipod touch 5 has a black screen but the volume works and messages show up???

I turned on my ipod 5 and the screen turned light black  and wont turn off. The volume works and i can screenshot but nothing shows up! Messages also pop up at the top of the screen too. I plugged it into the charger and the noise went off but nothing happened! Pleassee help!

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 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 has a black screen with the loading symbol on it

    I've had my Ipod touch for almost two years it is a fourth generation. Today I was going to charge it when the screen went black and had the circling loading symbol on it. It has now been stuck there for hours. My computer won't reconize it saying that there is an unknown error. What can I do to fix it?

    Try a hard reset and go from there.

  • TS2634 My Ipod Touch has a cracked screen at the top. The unlock slider does not work. I have loaded the latest software onto the Ipod and iTunes but still the slider will not operate. Is the cracked screen the problem?

    My IPod Touch has a small crack at the top of the screen and now the slider will not work to unlock it. Is the cracked screen the problem?

    To get pass the passcode lockscreen, recovery mode and restoring should help: iPhone and iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
    If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.
    If the issue continues after updating and restoring your device, refer to this document.

  • IPhone 4 has a black screen but the backlight lights up

    So my friend was holding onto my phone for me and he dropped it. Now the screen is black, but the backlight will light up when you hit the unlock button, the home button or receive an alert. The sound works perfectly fine, and voice control works when trying to call someone, but i wont be able to hang up. also when plugging it into an idock and pressing play on the dock it will work. I took the phone apart and put it back together to make sure everything was hooked up right, but it still wont work. anyone know what could be wrong possibly? i dont want to spend money on a new screen if i dont have to. Thank you!

        Hi JKainer193,
    Broken phones are no good. It's important to have a properly working phone at all times. I see that you have performed some great troubleshooting. I want to help. Did you have insurance on the line http://bit.ly/xB4iTc ? Typically, when the screen has gone black, and powercycling the phone doest not work, then the device would need to be replaced. Keep me posted.
    Thanks,

  • My ipod touch is still under warranty but the screen has been cracked for about 1month but the wifi has recently started to play up and wont work will apple cover this and give me a refurbished one whern i go to my appointment at the genius bar??

    my ipod touch is still under warranty but the screen cracked about 1 month ago and just yesterday my wifi on my ipod isw playing up and not working very well will apple give me a new one at my genius appointment?

    Very likely not.   A bvroken screen is not covered by the warranty. It also shows abuse aht voaid the warranty for the entire iPod.  Howecver, sometimes the Genius will exchange it at no cost. Otherwise yu will have to pay $99, $149 or $%199 depending upon the capacity,

  • My ipod touch has entered restore mode, but when I attempt to restore it I get the error code 1604.

    My daughters ipod touch has entered restore mode, but when I attempt to carry out a restore I get an error code 1604.
    Any easy solution to this problem?

    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.
    If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
    Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode, put it into Recovery Mode.
    Restore and wait for error 1604.
    When prompted, click OK.
    Close and reopen iTunes while iPhone remains connected.
    iPhone should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
    Try to restore again.
    If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.

  • Today, randomly my iPhone 5 stopped working. It has been on this black screen with the apple logo and some small white writing at the top of the screen for many hours. I've tried rebooting it and connecting to iTunes but nothing has worked.PLEASEHELP

    It has been on this black screen with the apple logo and some small white writing at the top of the screen for many hours. I've tried rebooting it and connecting to iTunes but nothing has worked.
    PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!

    It likely means there was still water inside it and something has now shorted out and permanently damaged one or more components.  THE very worst thing you can do with wet electronics is energize them - even a small drop of water inside on any of the circuitry or electrical contacts can cause catastrophic damage.
    Take it to Apple for a free evaluation, but most likely you will need to replace it.  For the out of warranty fee ($269.00 USD) you will get a refurbished replacement (like new, with a factory new screen and battery).  An out of warranty replacement will also re-instate your remaining warranty, or 90 days warranty, whichever is longer.
