Part of Click Wheel Does Not Respond

When gliding my finger in a circular motion on the Click Wheel, there is no response in the "3-6" area (if you look at the wheel as a clock). The rest of the wheel responds fine.
I was having an issue where the wheel was massively over sensitive, just the slightest touch would cause the highlighted item to change erratically. I solved that issue by doing a reset (switch the hold slider on/off, hold down the menu/select buttons).
This is looking to be a physical hardware problem. Any advice?
My ipod is about 6 months old.
Thanks
Walter

I have the same problem with my brand new IPOD 3 weeks old. I can't click move or do anything.
Should I restore? I bought it in US and back home in Thailand. But the problem is no Apple store in Thailand. I can send it to my friend and ask him to restore and sand back to me but I'm afraid about warranty period? What should I do?
Thank You

  • Click Wheel does not respond

    Its been a while since I stopped using my ipod ever since the buttons in the ipod stopped responding. The ipod is recognized in my computer and everything seems to work fine, the display in the ipod as well and the hold switch too. I already upgraded itunes and restored my ipod, nothing seems to work. Ipod was essential for me because I used to run daily and listening to music while running just boosts my motivation. Help please?

    Am I the only one having this problem? I would call the apple tech support but I would first like to know whether or not they can fix it and how much would it cost, paying to contact them just so they tell me I have to buy a new ipod is not very convincing..

  • Ipod click wheel does not work at all..

    I gave a friend of mine my 4g photo. It worked for him for a few days and then stopped. He brought it back to me and I restored it twice back to factory settings. Still nothing. The other weird thing is when you cycle between hold and on, it starts the ipod like it is an on and off switch. The click wheel does not respond, and the hold thing is just weird. I just would like to know if this is a hardware problem, and if there is anything I can do to get it up and running again.. thanks...

    hi muddy angel, recently i had a problem that sounds similar. my well cared and little used 40gb ipod didnt respond to the clickwheel -no reason that could be recognised. gravis in berlin, germans probably biggest apple dealer, checked the item. they told me it would be a rare, but well known very unlucky thing that clickwheels sometimes just give up their functions for unknown reasons. unfortunately my clickwheel did so, after the warrenty has run out a couple of weeks ago and as well annoying is the fact that a replacement of the clickwheel is horrible expensive. so, if you have the opportunity to have your ipod checked by a hardware pro - try it.

  • Click wheel does not appear to be working

    My click wheel does not appear to be working. I can however, press "menu" & the center button at the same time to reset it. Any suggestions on how to get it working again?

    Have you tried doing a RESTORE on the iPod when plugged in and showing up in iTunes?

  • I-pod nano click wheel does not work help!

    Hi,
    My i-pod nano 1st gen click wheel will not work i have tried restoring,restarting and all the 5 r's but still nothing has happened... there has to be a solution out there somewhere o yea i have also tried taking out the gunk in the click wheel but nothing HELP!

    Version in the nano is 1.1; iTunes is 6.0.4.2.
    This silly thing "healed itself" the next morning (?!), worked fine for two days, and decided to show the same symptoms this evening, then began working fine again.
    Whether it is working or not I can feel the click of the wheel but unit shows no response when the problem is manifesting. So if I am having the problem I can press the wheel any which way for as long as I like and nothing happens -- screen does not light up, unit doesn't scroll, play/pause gives no response, etc.

  • The menu button on the click wheel does not work!!!

    I just got my I pod nano Black(2gb) and for some weird reason the 'menu' button on the wheel just does not respond. So i cannot go back to the previous menu or reset. What do i do????

    See this.
    How to reset the iPod if the buttons appear frozen.
    It may take quite a few attempts and is best done connected to power.

  • Oh, my click wheel does not click anymore.

    Hi.
    It appears the click wheel is stuck. I know the 5 R's, but is restoring the iPod going to unlock the locked click wheel?
    Suggestions?

    Okay, I'm still confused. Click-wheels are not supposed to rotate. They only sense your finger's rotation. Are you saying the wheel is not responding to your finger movements?
    If so, I would try basic things like rebooting and switching Hold on and then off. You could also try restoring if that doesn't work, but honestly this is starting to sound like a hardware issue.

  • IPod Touch Sensitive Click Wheel does not turn - HELP!

    Can this click wheel be fixed? Has anyone been successful? I'd love to know how and not throw $300 down the drain. Sigh. THANKS IN ADVANCE.

    Sure! Just do a web search for iPod repair and you will find plenty of places. Here is one that was at the top of a google search I just did...
    http://pdasmart.com/ipodpartscenter5g.htm
    $65 for the click wheel part and you can repair it yourself. Or $75 for mail in repair service.
    I have no experience or affilation with the above linked store, just found them first in a search.

  • Click wheel is not responding

    The click wheel, select button, menu button, and play buttons, are not responding on my ipod. I think it is a first generation nano, so it is pretty old but still works (or, worked) so I haven't bought a new one. And it was given to me. I tried restoring it but now it is just stuck on the language selection screen and the buttons still won't respond when I want to do something. I can reset it still, so I know that the select and menu buttons will respond when I do that, but I can't do anything else. Any suggestions?

    Hello sphipps23,
    There isn't much else you can do in terms of troubleshooting at this point.  It is likely a hardware issue related to the iPod's click wheel.  You can have it serviced by Apple (for quite a cost), a third party repair company, or you can even choose to do it yourself.

  • Click Wheel does not work

    My ipod turns on, but the click wheel no longer works. Anyone know how to fix that?

    Alright.
    1. Snap the hold switch from off to on to off.
    2. Press Menu + Select (if the buttons still work)
    3. Hold Menu + Select until the image on the screen disappears and is replaced by an Apple Logo
    4. Quickly hold Previous + Select while the Apple Logo is visible.
    5. You should enter Diagnostic Mode.
    6. Navigate to IO
    7. Navigate to wheel
    8. Run tests.
    9. Post results.
    I undersand you may not be able to do much of the above because your clickwheel may have a hardware error, but try anyways

  • When I click to enlarge an image in eBay, Firefox does not respond.

    I open up Firefox and go to the eBay website. I click on an item to view the listing. I then click on the image, or the 'Enlarge' icon to view a larger version of the image. The problem is that Firefox does not respond. It comes up with "javascript;" in the little dialogue box that pops up in the bottom left corner.
    When I use Internet Explorer, I don't have the problem. Could anyone suggest what is wrong?

    Make sure that you do not block JavaScript

    Middle-click or click the scroll-wheel on a hyperlink has always opened a '''new Tab'''. Any chance you had an add-on that changed that action, and now that add-on is disabled or incompatible?
