The screen is dark and i can barely see the icons.

it seems like the brightness is all the way down but it is not. i've reset the ipod several times to no avail. can it be easily repaired at a good price or should i get another one?

Try restoring the iPod. First from backup and if problem persists, restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
If still problem that indicates a hardware problem. I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price.

    Hey BlueEyedDude,
    Thanks for the question. I’m sorry to hear about your iPod nano! If you believe you have isolated the issue completely to hardware, you can learn more about servicing your device at the following link:
    Apple - Support - Service Answer Center
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/faq/
    If you’d like to attempt some more troubleshooting tips, see this link:
    iPod nano - 4th and 5th generation - Apple Support
    https://www.apple.com/support/ipodnano/4th_5th_generation/
    If you do decide to service your device, you’ll want to make sure all of the music and information is backed up. If you regularly sync your device with a computer, this music should be on the computer. If not, you can learn about what purchases you can transfer from the iPod to a computer:

  • Just bought new replacement iphone from apple store and less than two hours later, the screen went blurry and I can barely see anything. Phone still functions fine though.

    Just bought a new replacement phone at the apple store and as soon as I got home, vertical lines came up through the screen and now it's extremely blurry. All the functions of the phone still work fine and I really can't see anything except a small part of the screen at the top. I called the apple store and he told me to put the phone in recovery mode on my computer and the restore and update it. I did this and I can tell the phone has restored yet it is still extremely blurry and I can't see anything to type it in. Is there anything I could do with this? The apple store is over an hour away and saving another trip down there would be great. Thanks

    Bad luck. Take ti back.

    Hey there jjroca,
    It sounds like you are unable to make or recieve phone calls because the screen goes black. I would start by quitting all the running apps on the device:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it. 
    When you have done that restart the device and test the issue again:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    If that does not resolve the issue, I would use the troubleshooting in the following article, named:
    iPhone: Troubleshooting issues making or receiving calls
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,
    Sterling

  • Accessing the internet, I can google and get search results but the screen stays dark and doesn't load, accessing the internet, I can google and get search results but the screen stays dark and doesn't load

    what is the problem when the screen goes dark and you cant' access the search items, also i find it strange that I can access you tube but can't access internet thru safari??

    Couple of things you could try : clearing your Safari cache (Settings > Safari > Clear Cache and also try Clear History). You could also try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • My iPhone 4s screen went black. I can hear the phone receiving messages though. I tried to restore through itunes. I failed because "find my iPhone" app is on, I cannot switch it on since the screen is black and I can't see

    My iPhone 4s screen went black. I can hear the phone receiving messages though. I tried to restore through itunes. I failed because "find my iPhone" app is on, I cannot switch it on since the screen is black and I can't see

    Instead of trying to restore through iTunes, use the Find My iPhone to your advantage.
    Either go to www.icloud.com and perform a remote wipe of the device via FMiP, or download the FMiP app to another iOS device and do it from there.
    A remote wipe will also restore the device back to factory settings.

  • My screen moves around and I can't see the dock and the top use bar at the same time.  Help, please.

    I have an iBook G4.  The images on the screen "fall off" the top and/or bottom.  That is, I can't see the dock and top user bar at the same time.
    The computer seems to automatically move the screen around as I use the cursor.  I don't know how to fix the image so it just fits the boundaries of the screen.  OS10.4.11.  Thanks for any help you can give.

    It sounds like maybe you've unintentionally activated the Zoom feature.
    Try going to System Preferences > Universal Access > Seeing, and make sure that Zoom is turned off.
    Does that help?

  • I don't see the new "firefox button" and i can't see the bookmark button (with the drop down option) unless I'm in the customize toolbar view. How can I fix these?

    I am using Firefox 4.0 on Windows XP home, Service pack 3. I am trying to use some of the new features of Firefox 4.0 that I see on the Firefox feature page (http://mzl.la/gCFDjj) and am not having much luck. First off in the Firefox Button. It is supposed to contain all your menu items but it is not appearing on my screen. Is this a feature that only works in Vista or Windows 7?
    Second, I am trying to use the Bookmarks Button (the one that has the drop down menu) but it doesn't appear in my toolbar unless I right click the tool bar and choose "customize". The button shows up in this view already in the toolbar, as if it is hidden in normal use and no matter where I move it to, once I hit the "done" button in the customize window the Bookmarks Button gets hidden/covered up again.
    Third, I see the new "App Tabs" feature but I can't seem to find an option for this in the preferences for Firefox, if it's even supported by my browser/OS at all.
    Can anyone tell me how to use/activate these features or if I am even able to using Windows XP?

    You see the orange (on Linux gray) Firefox button if the Menu Bar is hidden (View > Toolbars > Customize or right-click a toolbar).<br />
    If you need to access the hidden Menu bar then press F10 or hold down the Alt key to make the Menu Bar appear temporarily.<br />
    You only see the Bookmarks menu button if the Menu bar is hidden.

  • Screen is white and I can not see any icons. Can it be fixed

    I went to the verizon store and they said that my screen is broken.  Can it be fixed

    Hi, The same thing happened to my 8530 and I did a battery  pull and it fixed the problem. Has not happened again since then.
    To be a little more specific.....I was rebooting the phone after an app install and when the phone powered back on it stuck on a blank white screen and I could do nothing with it, that being said I did the above mentioned and pulled the battery for about 10seconds then put it back in and powered the phone back on and it hasn't had any problemds since.
    hope this helps.

  • It was updated and i can't see the web page. It is only a white page. Android for tablet

    I was able to see a webpage which starts with https. However the browser was updated and 1 can't see the web page anymore. I can see it in chrome but I need Firefox due to the plug ins.

    I installed FLASH PLAYER and it doesn´t work. Everything started when Firefox was installed automatically. Does anybody knows how to install a complement in google chrome for android (it is a scanned document) since i could not open the web page in firefox or dolphin, I used chrome but now I cannot see the content. I already installed PDF reader. I do not know how to enable the plug in. I read that I should go to
    chrome://plugins but this page doesn´t not exist.
    How can I enable it in a tablet android?
    Thank you in advance.
