My iPod touch backlight will not stay on and the touch screen is not responding?

My iPod Touch 3rd Generation got wet.  I was able to restore it, but the backlight does not stay lit for more than 1 second and my touchscreen does not appear to be working.  Do you have any ideas?  Do you know where I could send it to get refurbished at a reasonable price?

DId you dry it in rice for a couple of days?
Have you tried restoring the iPOd to factory default/new iPod?

    I think you have an Accessibility feature turned on. Triple click the Home button and then try to go to Settings>General>Accessibility and turn all Accessibility features off. To scroll you may have to use three fingers. If proem see:

  • IPod Touch Screen Doesn't Respond

    I've Had my ipod touch 3g for about 6 days now. Everything was going well but after i synced my ipod touch, my screen just stop respond. I've tried restoring it many times and its just fail. What should i do? Could i go to the Apple store and get a new one?

    Hi iKanji,
    Is the screen stuck at a sync prompt? As I've had this happen with my iPhone many times in the past.... It's a strange predicament that you can get into and I don't now the cause...
    At times I try to connect and disconnect my device from the dock connector until the device's OS realizes that one of the jobs are stuck and it reboots that prompt. Then all is fine.
    Again this issue was with my iPhone and it was a lot worse before the 3.1.2 update. It happens very rarely now, and does come back to life once the OS of the device realizes that this is occuring. Until then, the screen and power buttons are totally useless..
    Very frustrating, but this is the only solution I've seen work for me.
    Good luck and let me know if this helps.

  • Help! my ipod has frozen & will not respond to reset

    I cannot get my ipod to repond to anything, I have just installed the latest version of itunes plus quicktime & when I connected to my PC the do not disconnect appeared on the screen but windows & itunes does not see the ipod, I tried resetting it in the troubleshoot & nothing works, it is stuck with the do not disconnect sighn on the screen, I cannot turn it off.

    I am having the same problem with both my 60g and my sisters 20 classic iPods. Both iPods are showing the frowning iPod with the following: www.apple.com/support/ipod. I have tried to reset, I have tried to get the iPod to go to disk mode, this worked once on both, but then they both go back to the stupid sad iPod! This is frustrating, because I can't get either of the iPods to be recognized in the iTunes either. Nothing wrong with iTunes, because the video nano appears in the iTunes! Help!! Someone, please help us fix this!!!

  • IPod touch screen isn't responding plus warranty question

    My brother just got a brand new 8gb iPod Tocuh for Christmas and today, all of a sudden, the screen (or touchscreen) has stopped responding. I connected to iTunes, backed it up, restored the iPod itself and then loaded the backup onto the iPod again and it still wouldn't work. I can only see myself taking it to the Apple Store as the possible solution. Any advice before taking it back to Apple?
    The other problem is, the iPod was bought in the US and we live in Croatia. Being that the iPod is only a couple of weeks old, I'm sure the 1 year warranty is still valid but will they accept the warranty here at the local Apple store?
    Thanks

    Sounds like it does need to be exchanged under warranty. I did notice you restoreed it using a backup. You may want to try restoring as a new ipod. Doubt it will fix it, but maybe. As for the warranty, it doesn't matter where purchased, the warranty is valid in any apple store. Good luck!

    - Try another USB port.

    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
