My sons IPOD Touch camera will be a black screen sometimes, but ot always. Why?

My sons IPOD Tounch camera will come up with a black screen sometimes. Just wondering why it is doing this?

- Have you tried just restoreing the iPod to factorydefaults/new iPOd?

- The problem may be due to the previous liquid intrusion.  Sometimes it can take awhile for some damage to occur.

  • Ipod touch half moon icon and black screen

    This is my sons iPod touch and this is what it shows. There is the iPod logo in the upper left hand corner and what I think is signal for wifi and then in the middle is a half moon and the right side is the battery icon. Other than that it is a black screen and will not turn off or do anything. Please help. Thank you.

    - 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.

  • My ipod touch is stuck on the black screen with apple logo?

    Yesterday I restored my Ipod Touch back to factory settings...thought everything was fine until I realized my wifi option was grey and unclickable and read "no wifi", so I went to settings and hit "restore network settings". The ipod shut off and wont turn on since. Ive tried restarting multiple times, all it does is stay on the black screen with the apple logo. Help please?

    If it's off you should push the top right button and the home button for a few seconds. Rebooting like that always worked for me!

  • IPod Touch 3rd generation stuck on black screen

    I was using it and it was fine then an hour later i went to go on it again and it was just a black screen. I tried plugging it into the charger, reseting it and everything.  When I plugged it into iTunes an error message popped up saying "iTunes could not connect to this iPhone because an unknown error occurred (0xE8000001)" then I pressed ok and another message popped up saying "iTunes could not connect to the iPhone ""  because an invalid response was recieved from the device". Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Try:
    'iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Unknown error containing '0xE' when connecting
    iTunes cannot connect to the iPhone because an invalid response received from the device: This error occurs when there are problems communicating through USB. This may be resolved by following the steps for errors 13 or 14, below.
    Error 13 and 14: These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
    Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.
    Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
    Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
    Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
    There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.
    Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online.
    Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.

  • 2nd generation ipod touch wont turn on. The screen blinks but the apple icon doesn't show up.

    I have a 2nd generation ipod touch that I got from a friend. I drove all the way across the country (three day trip) and it worked perfectly. It was in a hard case and has no damages to it. I haven't dropped it or gotten water on it at all. But for some reason the screen wont turn on. It blinks on and off when I plug it into the charger (and theres like a soft clicking noise that I hear when the screen blinks) but the apple logo wont show up. And it doesn't seem to actually be charging. It doesn't seem to actually die all the way either.... It's weird.. but I know no damages have happened to it so I don't know what to do. I've tried to reset it (pressing and holding the home and power buttons) but that wont work either. Help?

  • Ipod touch camera will not open and bottom is flickering.

    So, this has happened before. A long time ago, last year, my ipod had water damage. So i turned it off, left it in rice for a few days and it worked again. It's been working for about a year up until now again. As far as i know, the ipod has had no water damage what-so-ever since then. But, just to be sure, I immediately turned it off and put it in rice. That didn't solve the problem. So I went online and people said If I updated my ipod software to ios.5 then it would resolve the problem... It didn't. I've turned my ipod off for days and turned it back on to still find the problem. I've even reset my ipod 5 times. I don't know what to do... When I press the camera, it's either all black or the shutter is closed. And almost always at the bottom, the camera/video slider is flickering. Please please please help.
    And, it's never been broken or cracked, and protected when dropped... So I doubt it's a hardware problem

  • My Ipod touch 4thGen has a blank/black screen. any ideas?

    It is Charging, and makes the unlock noise when i slide to unlock. i'v done a restore on itunes, which failed to solve the problem. before i restored i knew where the music app was and music still played and camera makes the shutter noise when i take a print screen.

    Probably, your iPod is with a backlight issue, if the restore didn't resolved, then you should make an appointment at a Genius Bar
