Touch screen issue on iPod touch 5

About 1,5 months I broke my iPod's screen, but it still worked fine. 4 days ago the sensor started to... turn off (don't even know how to name it): I just browse the internet or play a game and the screen just stops responding. If I lock it, I can unlock it normally and use my iPod again for a few minutes until it turns off again. What is it? Can I fix it without any screen replacement (I really think it's not the screen issue, btw)?

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem. Culd be that the damage caused bu dripping progressed and is causing the problem

Try # 2 and 3 in link below. If neither work, your screen digitizer might need to be replaced.

Has software update nuked touch screen on my ipod touch 2G?

Hi,
I've noticed that my touch screen input on my iPod Touch 2G is almost unusable. There is a delay / lag between me touching the screen and the device responding to the input, sometimes it gets it wrong. e.g. When I'm unlocking it - it gets the numbers wrong.
I don't think I have damaged the device (e.g. water damage, etc) - but I do remember upgrading to the latest iOS, and it does seem like an OS issue - has anyone had a similar finding?
Thanks,
Prashant.

Try to Reset your device:
Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears (ignore the Slide to Power Off option that shows up first).
If this doesn't help, try a Restore.

My touch screen for my Ipod touch 64G 4th generation is going crazy

my touch screen is not responding well when i type on my screen and instead of typing a it goes to "o" and many other letters

Try rebooting the ipod by pushing and holding the on/off and home buttons simultaneously until it powers down and you see the apple symbol.

Will Apple still replace the screen on my iPod Touch 4th gen.?

I dropped my iPod and completely cracked the whole front of my iPod. I got it a Target a month ago and I lost my receipt. Will Apple still replace it?

@lllaass I just cracked the screen on my Ipod touch 8gb 4th gen which i just bought wednesday from Target. However, I have one of those military grade portective films over it. Was that supposed to protect it? Not sure, but I also have another issue. I live an hour away from the nearest apple store and I don't want to make an appointment at the Genius bar and still have to pay. Should I just take my chances and schedule one? Or are there other places that might be able to replace it for cheaper?

The screen on my ipod touch is stuck zoomed in. I turned it off and back and its still stuck zoomed in. I also tried to reset it and that didn't work either. Please help.

The screen on my ipod touch is stuck zoomed in. I don't know how it happened I just looked down and it was like that. I have turned it off and back and even reset it but it still keeps zooming back in each time I turn it on. I can't unlock it because I can't see the numbers and it won't let me move around the screen. Please help.

This is asked and answered often. The foru search bar is on the right side of this page.
It is also covered in the manual - zoom feature:

The screen on my Ipod touch came away from the back.

The screen on my ipod touch came away from the back and then stuck back down a couple of days later. The battery seems to be weak now but everything else is OK. What could have caused this? Over chargibg in the car cradle?, Heat? Being held too tightly in the cradle?, Getting water inside?
Has this happend to any of you.

If you have successfully restored the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod you likely have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

My touch screen on my ipod Nano, Gen 6 has gone completely white. It had started going white the day before. I tried resetting it but to no avail. Does anyone know how I could fix this. Also I have 2 other ipods that I am no longer able to sync. It comes up with a message (best I can remember) something to the effect that my itunes version is not compatible with my ipod. Please help. I'm tired of buying new ipods when the new hasn't even worn off of them!!!
Thanks

take it to an apple store or call 1-800-APL-CARE and they will let you know the screen repair options they have. It might cost a bit if the screen break was your fault (aka you dropped it).

Can we get screen replaced on ipod touch?

Can I replace the screen on my ipod touch? Dropped it this morning and it cracked, very badly.

Apple does not repair iPods, but will replace the entire iPod for a flat fee; see the Repair Pricing section here:
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/faq/
There are independent iPod repair services that may be able to replace the screen for less. Do a web search for "ipod repair".
Regards.
