My iPod Touch fell hard on the ground!

HELP! (T_T)
My iPod Touch fell flat and hard on its face on cement ground, then the screen turned white and the touch screen stopped working!
I set it aside for a couple of hours and when i looked at it again, it's completely dead.
no matter how many times i press the sleep/wake button or the home button, it won't turn on. i tried Troubleshooting it by pressing both buttons at the same time, to no avail. i tried to connect it to my iTunes but it doesn't detect the iPod anymore.
i bought this iPod in Japan but now i'm in Davao, Philippines. will it also be possible for me to fix my iPod without having to take it all the way to Japan?
any help for me please? i will die without my iPod. it's one of my indispensable tools in life and i will risk anything for it. Please help. (x_x)
Thanks a lot.

check macfixit.com for possible solutions. if no joy, get a new Touch and be more careful.

The screen on my ipod touch fell off and the cable ripped. what do i do?

one day, i was using my ipod touch. while i was on safari, the lower half of the screen stopped working. eventually, i was only able to play music thanks to the double tap settings. i was getting irritated, and i lifted the screen just to see if there was anything i could do to try to fix it.when i took it off, the little black cord thing that attatches to the screen ripped. i dont know what to do, if there is any way i could fix this, or how much it will cost to get it fixed. please help!

My iPod Touch Fell Into The Tub!

My iPod Touch fell into the tub. Within 1 to 2 seconds I got it out immediately. It was on when it fell into the tub. After retreiving it I set it on the floor and turned it off. After completing my errands I set it on the nearby stand. As I was finishing up I saw a flash of light go on and off. For the last couple of days I thought it was just completely dead until I figured out that if you press the "home/menu" button and swipe your hand where the "unlock screen" should be you hear the click. You can also hear the click when I turn my iPod off. Also, I have put it in extreme lighting and tilted it a certain way and could see the home menu with all the different apps. You have to strain to see that. I could make out the utilities button and clicked on it to see if adjusting the brightness would help anything. It is up the whole way and it doesn't make a difference. The screen is still as dark as can be. I clicked on the music button and chose the nearest song and it played perfectly. I have also clicked on apps and you can hear the noise even though the screen is so dark that you have to strain to see anything and put it under the brightest light in the world. Please help!!! I'm not exactly sure what the problem is exactly. The screen isn't cracked or anything like that.
THINGS THAT HAVE NOT WORKED ON FIXING MY IPOD
1. Nearest Apple Store is WAY out of my way.
2. Tried adjusting the brightness.
3. Put in a bowl of uncooked rice. (I'm sure there wasn't any water in it to begin with.)
4. Pressed home/menu button and sleep/power button at same time and 8 to 15 seconds in released sleep/power button while still holding the home button and released.
5. Updating iTunes software.

Even though you don't believe water enter into it, the fact that it's not working properly confirms that it did get wet inside. It apears that the LCD panel backlight is not functioning. the only cure for this is to have the LCD panel replaced. Hopefully nothing else will fail later due to the water damage. Hope this Helps.

If it is totally dry:
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.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Brand new iPod touch restarts itself all the time

Hello, my dad just came home from Japan, with a brand new iPod touch.
I managed to register it in iTunes, but when i updated the firmware i got an error message. I tried again and i think that i succeed. Then i started to sync music and the rest of the stuff. The syncing stopped after a minute, and when i tried to navigate on my iPod i realised that the touch screen didn't respond. So after several attempts, i made a hard reset.
But now, the iPod touch restarts itself. The Apple logo comes up, and then the screen turns off in a dramatical way, and then the Apple logo comes up again. If i hard reset my device again, the process continous.
I sometimes the iPod shows the "charge battery" screen, and then I can charge the battery. BUT after 5 minutes, the iPod touch starts restarting itself again. :S
Does anyone have a solution to this? Extremely strange.

I suspect you have a hardware problem. Probably a non-functioning battery (over or under) and causing a hardware reset. Bring it to an Apple Store for replacement.

TS2634 My Ipod Touch fell and cracked. It works but, can I get it fixed?

My Ipod Touch fell on cement and now, It is not looking in good shape..It cracked. So, i was wondering if i could find some answers. Can i get it fixed or do i need to buy a new one and lose all my progress?

If it works, make a backup. Go to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > Back Up Now (assuming you have iOS 5.0 or later; if not, let us know).
Technically, you don't need to buy a new one. You get a discounted rate for an out-of-warranty replacement iPod since this type of damage is not covered under the warranty. For exact pricing, see: http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/prices/
You do not lose your progress if you have a backup.

My iPod touch is stuck on the apple logo screen. What do I do?

My iPod touch is stuck on the Apple logo screen. What do I do??

Hello Melissa,
Have you tried a hard reset yet? To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear. You may need to try this more than once.
Any luck there?

Best iPod Touch 4G Hard Shell Case?

So yeah, ive been wondering over for a good iPod touch 4g hard shell case.
Before that, what's the advantages/disadvantages of a hard shell over a silicon rubber material?
Sorry that I'm asking much
Is the skull candy hard shell worth it? What's the price gonna be?
Ps. I prefer a slim one

If your looking for a case to protect, I would go with otterbox. If you want it to be slim and still durable, they have a reflex case, but if you dont mind having a little extra thickness I would go with the defender series, its a mix of hard plastic and silicone and has a built in screen procter. All in all otterbox is the best in my opinion.
