Screen went blank, won't shut off, screen as a timer in middle, chirps every once in while

I was using my iPod touch when the screen went blank, it just glows and has a timer clock in the center.  It chirps every once in a while.  I have it hooked up to the charger to see if that will bring it back.

you can do 2 things.
     1. hold the home button and the power button in for 10-15 sec.
     (powerbutton is on the top home button is the button on the botton)
     2. hold the power button to boot the ipod up again
     1. let the battery fully drain
     2. boot it up again while you have it connected to your computer
if it works and you can't boot up you can also let your ipod go to dfu mode:
     1. open itunes on your computer
     2. connect your ipod to your computer
     3. hold the home and powerbutton for 10 sec
     4. keep holding the home button
itunes will say now that he find an ipod touch in DFU mode and you an recover you ipod again be aware that you will lose all your data but if you had made a backup of your ipod before than is there no problem.

  • My iPhone 5s froze while I was using an app then the screen went white and it shut off, it won't com back on... Help please

    iPhone 5s won't turn on is it killed?

    I've had the same thing happen to me when an app starts to lag, shutting it off will burn it on the screen, not allowing you to enter your passcode for the Iphone. It is frustrating but do as @kb1951 said. It worked for me.

  • HT4623 My ipad screen is blank, it suddenly shut off while I was using it, can anyone help or advise, I would be very grateful

    Connect it to the wall charger and wait about an hour.
    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.

  • My iPad just died. The gear symbol came up and then the screen went blank (turned off). It was fully charged so that wan't the issue.

    My iPad just died. The gear symbol came up and then the screen went blank (turned off). It was fully charged so that wan't the issue.

    That is indicating that the device has gone into recovery mode. Press just the Power button until the red Power Off slider appears and slide to turn it off. Then power it back up to see if it has exited Recovery Mode. If it has, then you should be good to go.
    If it has not, then the issue you had that caused the iPad to turn off was one that put your device into Recovery mode requiring that you go through the recovery process (i.e., the reset did not process since the issue required a recovery to resolve). Here is a link that explains what you need to do to get out of Recovery Mode in that case:

  • Screen went blank on 4s and can't turn back on. Battery is charged.

    Screen went blank on 4s. Battery is fully charged. Can not turn on.

    Okay, got my phone back from the store I originally bought it at (the Swedish equivalent to Best Buy), and they had tried charging it with an iPhone-charger with no results. However, when they tested with an off-brand charger, it started working again. I wonder why that is.
    When I got home, it was on 98% and I plugged it in with my regular charger just to see if I would really need to go out of my way to buy a completely different charger. It charged up to 99%, and I then unplugged it. I will wait and see if the problem re-occurs, but as it looks now, I probably won't be needing to get the battery changed nor book an appointment with the Genius Bar I'll check in here again if that were to happen, to give my review of the Genius Bar!
    Thanks for all the help again

  • IPad 1st generation turned it on and clicked on an app then screen went blank and now I can't get it to do anything at all

    iPad 1st gen..help-clicked on an app and the screen went blank and now it won't' do anything-can't turn it off and it's getting hot. How do I remove the battery.

    You cannot remove the battery on the iPad. If it is getting very hot, unplug it from power, if it's plugged in and set it down somewhere to let it cool off. Set it on something that cannot catch fire - as bizarre as that sounds. Set it on something that will not burn.
    After it has cooled off, then try to restart it. If it will not start, try a reset.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
