My ipod touch gen 4 screen has suddenly gone black

My ipod touch gen 4 screen has suddenly gone black, i tried resetting it and the white apple symbol suddenly appears then goes black again, restoring it to factory setting and updating it but it hasnt changed any assistance would be greatly appecited

If you restored to factory settings/new iPod via iTunes (Not via Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Setting) and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store..

  • My screen has suddenly gone black and doesnt respond to anything

    Hi all,
    Last night my screen suddenly went black, however the phone is still on as it vibrates when I ring it.
    Ive tried the master reset but it wont actually turn off. Ive also restored the OS and its still faulty.
    Anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks

    Welcome to the discussions,
    did you restore "as new iphone", without using the backup to restore from afterwards?
    Also try this, mentioned here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
    Display has no backlight or dark screen
    1 Toggle the ringer switch to see if the unit vibrates. If it does, it could be that iPhone is getting power, but is not displaying any image.
    2 Turn iPhone off and turn it on again. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on top of iPhone for a few seconds until a red slider appears, and then slide the slider. Then press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    3 While connected to the iPhone charger, try to reset the iPhone. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until either the Apple logo or battery symbol appears. If the battery symbol appears, continue to charge iPhone until it is fully charged.

  • Hi my iPod touch gen 4 has stopped working properly and App Store will not load but Internet will, also you tube also won't load. Any ideas?

    Hi my iPod touch gen 4 has stopped working properly and App Store will not load but Internet will, also you tube also won't load. Any ideas? I should probaly also add that I have also recently tried to download a screen recorder from safari and a message keeps popping up and saying that it can't verify server, even for this website

    Reset the device:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    Files cannot be downloaded from Safari on an iPod touch.

    my ipod touch (5) ios6 has suddenly crash causing it not to switch off or switch on while i was opening the notification center

    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 8GB screen has been cracked. It is still under the Wal-Mart 2 year extended warranty, but I really want 5th generation! Any way to get it replaced then return it for money back or even get a discount on it??

    My iPod touch 8GB screen has been cracked. It is still under the Wal-Mart 2 year extended warranty, but I really want 5th generation! Any way to get it replaced then return it for money back or even get a discount on it??

    Apple will only give you a 10% discount if you turn that one in and purchase the new one.
    I do not know if the WalMart warranty covers accidental damage like a broken screen.

  • My iPod Touch 4g screen has just cracked - what are my options? Will Apple fix it and how much will it cost?

    My ipod touch just slid off the sofa (less than two feet) and fell on its face. The screen is now cracked but the ipod is still functional. Will Apple repair the screen and if so how much would it cost? I think I was told in store that I could get 10% off a new one, but does this include the new 5g model?

  • My iPod Touch's screen has turned pale blue. Help?

    My iPod Touch is still newly brought, just a few days old and whilst I was trying to charge it, the screen went to a pale blue. I tried switched it off with the "Wake/Sleep" and home button pressed together at the same time and took out the charger. After 10 seconds, it turns on with the apple logo but then, after a few seconds/minutes it turns back to pale blue. I'm going around in circles and my battery is on low charge.

    It seem's that this a major problem and my best advice would be to create a meeting at your local Apple Store's Genius Bar. If you're not sure how to do this, ask me!
