My touch screen stopped working...on my brand new replacement iPod touch.

I recieved my replacement while on vacation in Vegas, about five days ago. My new iPod has been kept nice and safe in it's case without any bumps that could damage it. Today, May 4th, I go to school with a perfectly working iPod. On my way home, kept safe in my pocket all day, the touch screen stopped working, and restarting it didn't fix it. It's brand new, so whats wrong and how can I fix it PLEASE!

yes i have the same problem. But also other then the fact that the touch screen doesnt register it is really dark, like there is no light bulb

  • Brand New Replacement Ipod Touch

    This is really basic. I think I know the answer anyway, but I thought I'd ask just to check. I got a brand new replacement 4th gen ipod touch today. I just brought it home and haven't done anything to it yet. This is actually my 3rd replacement. The previous one I had received from the Apple store came inside the plastic casing the same as if you were to purchase it. The one I received today still had that thin plastic peel protector around it but I just wasn't given the case it would go in. They just gave me a brand new ipod like that. My previous ipod was last backed up a few days ago in my itunes. With this new one, would I have to synch it just like a new one or would there be anyway to transfer anything that had been backed up? As I said, this is really basic but I'm not very familiar with Apple products. I just know how to use an ipod.
    Also, a seperate question but since it's been a while since I last had a brand new ipod, should I be leaving it to charge or something before using it or... What exactly should I do?

    - Follow these instructions:
    iOS: Transferring information from your current iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to a new device
    - I doubt it is new. You will only get a new one if they do not have any refurbished one available. The refurbished ones include a new back and new battery. If new it will come in a brown box, not like a retail new one.
    - Just charge untill it is fully charged and then use it.

  • Why did my brand new Ipod 5g 32gb touch screen stop working?

    So I got this ipod from the Genius Shop for about a month. A few days ago when IOS 7.1 came out, I updated it. However, the ipod seems to lag a little. Today, I was charging my ipod and for some reason, when I turn it on, the touch screen stop working (the ipod is in perfect condition). The home button, volume button and the on/off button all works fine except for the touch screen. I want to restore everything on my computer, but I can't get pass the lock screen (the touch screen seems to stop working). I just can't do anything on this ipod anymore beside turning it on and off. I can't even power it off because the touch screen is no longer touchable. So how can I restore everything, or do something about this ipod to work again. Can I still take this back to the Genius Shop and get another one without additonal charge?  

    If the reset does not work try the remaining items of:
    - 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.
    - Try another cable       
    - 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.

  • Why did my touch screen stop working?

    Very upset my touch screen stopped working on phone new years eve.  What could be wrong??

        flakris,
    Oh no! This is not what we like to hear. I want to make sure that we are able to get your phone back up and running. Is there any kind of physical or liquid damage to the device? Can you try to press and hold the Power and Volume Down buttons until the device powers off then release (approximately 10 seconds). Please keep us posted.

  • Yoga 13 touch screen stopped working after update KB3000850, please help!

    Hi, my Yoga 13 touch screen has been working fine until yesterday. The laptop came with Windows 8, and last year I upgraded to Windows 8.1 without issue. Yesterday, I installed optional update KB3000850 from Windows Update, and immediately the touch screen stopped working. I have tried the following methods, all without success:
    * Uninstall KB3000850 from Windows Update
    * Use Windows Restore to restore to the point before yesterday
    * Re-install Intel Chipset Driver from Lenovo official driver page
    * In Device Manager, uncheck all the "allow system to turn off to save power" options for the USB input devices under Human Interface Devices then restart
    * Two-button shutdown and restart
    * Install Lenovo Driver Manager and let it check for new drivers
    * Download Cando multi touch panel driver (Note: I could not install the driver because all I got was a .cab file which does not allow me to install)
    As of now my touch screen is still not working. Computer Information page from Settings shows that there is no touch or pen device for my screen.
    Can anybody help me with this? Thanks!

    Very true, this has been a known problem since the first day Lenovo released the Yoga 13.
    I need to send Lenovo a bill for my time spent rebooting.  So far i am on my 8th reboot.  In the past, around 5 reboots after winddows update would work.  This time... who knows.
    Of course it always happens when you have a deadline.
    Please post back if you have found a better soultion than system restore.
    Thanks for posting this issue.  More users need to bring this to Lenovo's attention.

  • My iPod touch screen stopped working, how do i fix it?

    My iPod(4th generation) touch screen stopped working. Okay so it was fine earlier, my home button does not work so i have been using the assistive button for months, and until earlier today it got stuck, i tried to power it off but it doesn't let me slide to power it off, and it doesn't let me press anything on the assistive menu either, and i'm currently waiting for my ipod to die but it's taking forever since it's battery lasts forever! is there any other solutions you can give me?
    and i was wondering if my ipod has life insurance with apple so if something is wrong with the screen, can i take it for a new one? (my ipod is in very good conditions, not cracked or scratched, just the home button is an issue)
    thanks!

    Try restoring via iTunes. If necessary. try placing the iPod in recovery mode using one of these programs and then restore:

  • Ipod nano 6th gen touch screen stopped working please help

    Everything on the ipod nano 6th gen is working except the touch screen and once it goes to sleep i have to hold the sleep button and the volume down button to turn it back on. I went into the volume -, sleep, volume + menu and went through the tests and in the touch panel error check section it says i have IC error reported: 0xFFFFFFFF. Please help as i have reset and restored and update itunes etc. Do i need to send it in to apple? The touch screen was working at one stage and then i disconected from the computer while it said eject first (this is when the touch screen stopped working) and put the ipod on a different computer. The first computer was windows 7 which i used just to charge it a little and the second one im using is windows vista.

    I have had the same problem and changed three Nano's. Each time the fault is diagnosed by Apple as "water damage".
    If you take your Nano to one of their maintenance centres they will look into either the headphone socket or the power dock and and tell you that you have infringed the warranty by somehow getting the thing wet.
    Basically is a poorly designed piece of kit whereas a simple shuffle is way more robust.
    I have given up with my Nano and am now using an old model

  • Touch screen stopped working on iPhone 5

    Hi guys,
    My brother is using iPhone 5 in iOS 8.0.2 v and suddenly his phone start searching for the antenna and the touch screen stopped working (I can't even side to unlock )!! The screen will be on still the phone reset automatically and when is up it will search again for the antenna and every steps repeat all overThe screen Really got confused what had happened to phone. Even I try to reset it by holding Power bottom and Home bottom after resetting nothing has changed. Also the bottoms stopped working while the screen is on (when I'm holding the Power bottom it won't show me to side for power off )
    Every time I had a problem I posted my problem here, but i got nothing from anyone, if is it for my bad English I'm sorry but I really need some help here.
    What can I do!?
    Thanks

    First, try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. If this does not work, set it up as new device without using the backup, in case it contains corrupt data causing this problem.

  • Touch Screen stops working while charging

    Hi All,
    I have just purcahsed a Torch 9810 and have uploaded it with latest OS 7.1. I am facing problems like :
    1. The touch screen stops working while the phone is getting charged.
    2. The screen gets hanged very frequently. Should we use it very calmly or is it hanging because we use it too fast. For this condition,solution i am left with is a HARD RESET. But till when this will help. Please suggest some work around.
    3. When i select Loud profile,for sometime it works and after that it stops working. I try to ring it manually by going to LOUD profile sound settings and pressing the TRY IT option. I do use a cover. Does it makes any difference ? The problem goes when i do a HARD RESET. But why is this happening ? Any Other setting neds to be done ?
    Please HELP or Suggest what to do !!!!!
    Regards,
    Ronak Gupta

    This is probaly a software problem in my opinion this could probably be resolved at the genius bar in any apple store also your phone should be under warranty as it is a iphone 5 and they did not come out not so long ago so in other words go to a apple store and they might have to replace the phone. In my experience this has nothing to do with the cable but a software issue in ios did this issue happen in any earlier version of ios

  • My Brand New Refurbished Ipod Touch is not working

    I just bought a brand new refurbished Ipod touch 32GB (current generation), after a week it shows flickering white screens. I seldom used it for the whole week. When I went to apple service centre they told me that the water leak indicator turns into purple colour supposedly white. I ask them, how this thing can happen, because honestly I was always keep it safe and never been contact to any liquid or soak into water. Then I went to another service centre to get second thought – same feedback was given to me. The warranty was void because of the water leak indicator turns into purple colour.
    Anyone can help me to resolve my case? Honestly, I seldom used my Ipod touch, never been contact with water and it was always safely kept. Maybe there is some problem down the factory line, why it was refurbished? What is the history of this iPod touch? Maybe from there, something can help me that can prove that is the original problem of this iPod touch.

    i also got a refurb Touch. luckily, mine works as expected.
    a refurb enjoys the same warranty as a new one. take yours to an Apple store near you and have it replaced.

  • My iphone 4s fell from the bed and the front screen glass got cracked but the touch screen is working fine, so can i replace just that screen glass?? If not what am i to do ? And how much it might cost me for that repairing??

    My iphone 4s fell from the bed and the front screen glass got cracked but the touch screen is working fine, so can i replace just that screen glass?? If not what am i to do ? And how much it might cost me for that repairing??

    I don't know. You'll have to ask.
    FYI, if the phone was not originally sold in India, it can not be serviced in India. You will have to take it back to the country where it originated.

  • I have a brand new 8gb iPod touch 4g which has 0.43gb of other data right out of the box.

    I have a brand new 8gb iPod touch 4g which has 0.43gb of other data before I've even put anything on it.I appreciate the OS takes up about 1.5gb, but this is in addition to that. There is absolutely nothing on the iPod and I've already done a factory reset.
    The amount of yellow "other" data seems to go up and down if I click sync (although it is not syncing anything). There is no other data on the device. Is this normal?

    That is about right.  Normally it is about 1/2 GB.  If can grow because of corrupt files.  Then it is necessary to restore the iPod sometimes from backup works but sometimes a restore to factory defaults/new iPod is required.  The other is made of ite items that do not fit the other categories listed.

  • Touch Screen Stopped Working

    I purchased this ENVY 15-k020us a few months ago running Windows 8.1, and the touch screen no longer responds.  When I got it, the touch screen worked fine. After a couple of months, the touch screen was working sporadically, and then it stopped working all together. I found posts about similar issues in the forums but none of the solutions have worked. The touch screen is hidden in Device Manager, and I can't enable it because it says that it is not connected.  I tried updating the display drivers and BIOS, but neither of those fixed the issue.  I tried preforming a hard reset by removing the battery and holding the power button for 20 seconds and running HP Support Assistant, but the touch screen still will not work. I searched the computer for Tablet PC Settings and for Pen and Touch settings, but these features appear to not exist. I am not sure how to proceed from here, please advise.

    Hi again Syzygist,
    It is good to hear back from you!
    Since following the document posted above did not resolve the issue, I recommend returning your system back to a previous restore point. This can be done by following the steps in this document on Using Microsoft System Restore (Windows 8).
    Should the problem continue, I suggest performing a backup and recovery of your operating system. This can be done by following the steps in this resource on Backing Up Your Files (Windows 8), as well as Performing an HP system recovery (Windows 8). This should return your system back to factory defaults.
    If the issue persists, please call our technical support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region.
