Screen gone white... help...

My ipod has been working fine for the last two years but i was playing it through my speakers when it just turned off. I though it had run out of battery so i plugged it into a charger... the screen went white. The screen stayed white so i plugged it into itunes and tried to restore it. Halfway through the restoring a message came up saying unknown error, send info to apple... so i did and then it didnt even recognise my ipod when it is plugged into itunes. The screen doesnt go white any more, it is just dead and when i plug it into my computer a message comes up saying unknown usb device.

My son's ipod just started going white too -- it hasn't just started working by itself. Any suggestions?

    It seems that you have not installed the correct blackberry software for your device, or might be select the incorrect carrier for your blackberry handheld. You need to download the correct blackberry software with your service provider and before installing the software, disconnect your BB device from the computer and then install it with proper administrative privilege.
    After installing the software on your computer, make sure to hard boot your blackberry handheld before connecting it to your computer. If the same problem persists, then use JVM Loder to complete wipe your blackberry device memory then connect with the desktop manager and install the software.
    Good luck..!!!

    Hi there,
    There may be an accessibility feature enabled to invert the colors. The article below goes over how to disable this feature.

  • Ipod screen gone white after using 2006 updater!

    hi...my 5th generation video ipod has just had an update and the screen froze after i removed it... the screen then instead of resulting in the apple logo turned white and it is stuck like that. When i try again to restart it only turns black for a while makes a few beep noises and then the screen turns white again .... HELP!

    Apple engineers have determined that this is caused by not allowing the firmware update to finish the installation before disconnecting the iPod.
    If the reset previously mentioned doesn't help, then put the iPod into forced disk mode, and use the updater to restore the iPod.
    With your iPod not connected to the computer, reset it for about 5 seconds.
    Then press and hold the select and the play/pause buttons for another 5 seconds or so. Then it should be in disk mode.
    Wait until the restore has finished before disconnecting the iPod. If you're unsure, wait at least 20 minutes (it's probably overkill but best to be sure).
    That should cure the issue.
    If however it doesn't, and your iPod is still non responsive (doesn't reset, nothing on the screen or button presses don't work), then it will have to be sent away for service.

  • My iphone screen is white help

    I tend to drop my iphone often but this time when I turned it on the screen was completely white. My computer registered it and I get emails and whatnot. Please help its killing me.

    You have probably broken the connection to the screen. Your nearest Apple Retail Store can replace the screen, if necessary. They can advise you about costs.
    Make an appointment and have it looked at: http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/

    Andy B

    Hi all.  I finally have the firmware patch to restore the dead LCD on my Mega 180.  I have tried the basic instructions in the info on this forum but I keep getting  "bad filename messages.  I have loaded this firmware onto a USB memory stick and it is the "E" drive on my machine.  Can anyone give some step by step instructions as I seem to be doing it all wrong.  One other question.... Does the LCD have a seperate power lead or is it powered from the black multipin??
    Help will be much appreciated

  • My iPod Touch 4G's screen has gone white and has lines on the screen. How do I fix it? Help!

    Hello everyone,
    I've had an iPod Touch 4th generation for a few years now, and, today, for the first time, the screen has gone white and their are vertical lines on it. What happened was I accidentally dropped my iPod Touch on tile and it landed on its back. I tried it out right afterwards to see if it was still working and it seemed like it was perfectly fine. Later on, I got an email from one of my friends, so I slid the email button on the lock screen to see the email. In the email, there was a link to a gif image, so I opened it in Safari. After I was done with it, I closed that tab. I also had a second tab open from earlier, so I wanted to close that tab as well. When I clicked on the button to see all tabs and close one, the screen completely froze. I held on to the on/off button on the top of the iPod, and, after about a minute, the screen switched to a completely white screen with lines on it. I've tried holding onto the on/off button again and it doesn't work. I also tried plugging it into my Windows 7 computer and opening iTunes, but my computer doesn't even recognized it is plugged in. It won't appear under the "computer" section in Windows Explorer, which will allow me to do USB-related tasks with it. iTunes doesn't recognize that it is plugged in either, so I can't do anything like restore the iPod to factory settings. The home button on my iPod hasn't been working for a while so i've always been using the accessibility feature that gives me a home button on the screen. Now that I can't access that, I can't hold down both the on/off button and the home button at the same time. What should I do? Should I send it in to Apple for repairs (which I won't do and would rather buy a new iPod Touch)? I am thinking of just leaving it to, hopefully, have the battery drain and the iPod would die. Then, I could charge it and see what happens. Other than that, i'm just clueless right now and I have no idea what I should do. Please help me!
    My iPod Touch is an iPod Touch 4th generation model with 8GB. It is running iOS 5.1.1.

    Try:
    - 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.

  • My ipod touch screen has gone white with bright white spots, I have restored it but it is still white.  It shows in ITunes but I cant do anything with it.  Can anyone help please

    My Ipod touch screen has gone white with bright white spots on it.  I have restored it and it shows in ITunes but the screen is still white.  Is there anything I can do? The warranty has run out so I will have to pay for any repairs (if it can be repaired).  Any help would be much appreciated.  Thank you in advance.

    If you still have problems after restoring the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod then you very likely have a hardware problem.  I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
