Nano won't power on, but shows up in My Computer and iTunes

I recently replaced the screen in my Nano and for about a day it worked fine. Then I opened it back up to clean off a smudge and now it's slightly less than functional.
First off before anyone asks, I use a PC, not a Mac. I run Windows XP Home Edition. And my iTunes version is 6.0.4.2.
Now my problem...
When not connected to my computer the device is useless, it won't power on, the wheel is unresponsive, no sound comes from the headphones, it's dead.
But when I connect it to my computer it shows up in My Computer and in iTunes and all of my songs show up and I can double click them and play them, but the screen on the Nano still remains dark and the wheel still does nothing.
Another strange thing is that My Computer and iTunes will only recognize it when I turn "hold" on. If hold is off it refuses to show up at all.
I downloaded the latest iPod software and it stopped showing up at all, so I uninstalled that and reverted back to whatever version I have now. I've tried to let it charge for 24 hours, that did nothing. I formatted it and let my computer re-install it's system files and what-not, that did nothing. I've tried to reset it, nothing. And I've mashed all the buttons and circled around the wheel endlessly to no avail.
I really have no clue what might have caused this or how to fix it, if anyone has any suggestions I'm willing to try them, because at this point it can't get that much more broken.
So um, thanks for any help. If anyone actually manages to help me fix this thing and you have a PayPal account I'll toss you like $20 or something for your time, because it's cheaper than buying a new Nano.

Wow. I have no idea, I have never opened my ipod to do any do-it-yourself repairs. Of course (as you probably already know) your warranty is now voided since you opened it up and made alterations to it.
I wouldn't know where to start troubleshooting this, as I am unclear as to the cause of the issue.

  • IPod shows up in My Computer and iTunes diagnostic, but not in iTunes!

    Basically, I my iPod recently stopped responding. iTunes won't detect it when I connect it. The iPod shows up in My Computer and as connected when I run the iPod diagnostics through iTunes. iTunes also automatically opens when I connect the iPod. Why won't the iPod appear in iTunes, and how can I get it to appear? I don't care about anything on the iPod, as I have backups. Please help. Thanks.

    Oh yes, I've also tried Apple's "iPod recognized by Windows but not iTunes" page. I have reinstalled iTunes, reset my iPod, and even reset the iPod Service.

  • My iphone will charge in the wall, but wont charge on my computer, and itunes wont recognize it, how d i fix it?

    My phone will charge in the wall, but wont charge with the usb in my computer. ive bought a new cord, so i know thats not it, but my computer wont recognize my phone, HELP!

    See if placing the iPod in recovery mode will make the iPod visible in iTunes.  If it does then restore the iPod via iTunes on your computer.  For recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

  • Every time i try and update my ipod touch 4th gen. it satrts to back it up and then more than an hour later it hasnt moved and their is no show of progress. my computer and itunes are up to date. please help.

    /

    Well, the problem isn't the back up because I already have a backup saved that I can restore from, I honestly don't know how, but I do, and it has all my apps. The problem is restoring it. I keep getting the "There was a problem downloading the software for the iPod "King". A duplicate file name was specified. With my 3G iPod touch, I did not have it named as "King". I had it as another name. I don't know if that helps, but as I said before, Backup-wise I'm okay for now. Restore-wise I'm not.
    NOTE: Reinstalling iTunes doesn't help.

  • My Mac book pro won't charge. But the connector is plugged in and shows that its charging but it says it has 0% but if I unplug it it will shut off

    My Mac book pro won't charge. But the connector is plugged in and shows that its charging but it says it has 0% but if I unplug it it will shut off. It's been like this all day but I didn't notice till I turned it on.

    It's either a power adapter issue (not likely) or (more likely) a power supply problem on your MBP. Take the machine into your local Apple Store or an AASP and have them diagnose the problem.
    Good luck,

    If you have restored, the computer is recognizing it, right?
    Try which ever one of these applies...

  • IPhone 4S has no signal bars but shows the network carriers name and the 3G icon but just doesn't have no siganl bars

    Hi my iPhone 4S has no signal bars but shows the network carriers name and the 3G icon but just doesn't have no siganl bars but it was working fine till today then all of a sudden lost signal what do i do any help much appreciated

    I've been experiencing with the same problem lately. Have you tried getting a new sim card?
    With the new sim it seems to work well for a few days and then it goes back to the same problem. The warranty on my phone just ended about a month ago, and I've never dropped it and no water damage either. When I do a erase all and reset, it seems to work for a few days again and comes back to the same issue. I've deleted all my apps and been using the phone just as a phone and txting device. New IOS update doesn't seem to change this issue either. I've been getting by with doing a network reset and turning it off and on a few times a day.
    Anyone have any solution? Much appreciated!

    Then you need to contact iTunes support.
    There is probably a problem with your credit card or AppleID.  If there is an account security problem, only iTunes support will be able to help you.

    Hello tianhuat. I understand you're having some problems getting your notebook to power up. Try the following.
    Remove the battery and AC power from the notebook.
    Press and hold the power button for 20-30 seconds. This discharges the capacitors on the motherboard.
    Replace battery and AC power.
    Try to boot the notebook and post the result.
    Are you also getting a blinking CAPS LOCK or NUM LOCK pattern?

  • Computer AND iTunes don't recognize my iPod touch.  Comp thinks it is a camera.  iTunes won't bring up devices at all.  I've already uninstalled iTunes and QT and reinstalled after problem that happened when I updated iTunes... getting beyond P/Oed!!!

    Computer AND iTunes don't recognize my iPod touch.  Comp thinks it is a camera or something.  iTunes won't bring up devices at all.  I've already uninstalled iTunes and QT and reinstalled after problem that happened when I updated iTunes - updated iTunes completely demolished my computer's ability to recognize the sound card and computer had NO sound at all.  I had to uninstall iTunes, QT, AND my sound card and reinstall them all.  Sound worked fine, but now I can't sync my iPod.  Computer recognizes that "something" is hooked up (thinks it might possibly be a camera) and I get that "open with" window.  In "my computer" it shows that there is an "iPod" connected, but it is pictured as a camera.  In iTunes my username is no longer appearing (although account info is there) and NO devices whatsoever get listed.  There is nothing wrong with my USB ports or cable.  And of course Apple won't help anyone unless you pay them to. ... I am getting beyond P/Oed!!!  You pay hundreds for a product and all you get are headaches with their stupid bug infested software and no support at all.
    Can anyone out there help me clean up this unbelievable mess Apple and iTunes has created in my computer?
    Thank you.

    After three completely wasted days trying to figure all of this out I finally got it fixed - on my own - by reading dozens and dozens of rogue posts in indie forums from people that refuse to dish out money to have a company TRY and advise possible fixes on their own glitches.
    (here's a novel idea - fix the glitches Apple.  Or - don't send out updates filled with bugs in the first place)
    Everything (several applications) had to be uninstalled in a very specific order and then restarted , then it all had to be verified with manual deletions of leftovers, and emptying the recycle bin, then another restart, then iT had to be reinstalled again and the system restarted again, and two more update downloads. Holy!!!
    I love my little iPod touch, but I honestly must say, when this kind of thing happens (and it has several times now when I try to deal with iTunes or Apple), it makes me want to flush it down the toilet.

  • I have an iphone 4s that is having display issues. If I turn the phone on, it vibrates to acknowledge it successfully turned on but the screen stays solid black. I can plug the phone into my computer and itunes will recognize the phone as well.

    I have an iphone 4s that is having display issues. If I turn the phone on, it vibrates to acknowledge it successfully turned on but the screen stays solid black. I can plug the phone into my computer and itunes will recognize the phone as well. However, itunes can not do anything with the phone because the phone is locked and I can not unlock the phone because the screen is black.
    >CURVEBALL!!!<
    The screen does work though! Through trial and error along side a little troubleshooting, I was able to figure out that the screen will cut on after the phone dies completely. The phone has to die completely with no battery power left. Then if I plug the phone into a charge and wait a while for it to charge, the phone will turn on like nothing was ever even wrong with it. I charge the phone up to like 30% and turn it off then bam the phone turns on but the screen is solid black again.
    I am currently in the process of waiting for the phone to die and when I turn the phone back on I am going to completely remove the auto-lock and lock code off of the phone for the time being.
    Any other suggestions? Please help!

    Sounds like the device was dropped at some point and damaged as a result.
    Take it to Apple for evaluation and a replacement.
