Hello Tiger 42,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Please try to restart and reset your iPhone if it is unresponsive.
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset

    If a reset or restore of the device does not resolve the issue, your iPod likely needs servicing as the LCD screen may be damaged.

  • My ipod has a blank white screen???? WHAAATT???

    My ipod got damp one day(but still worked for a week or two after that). the screen is white now when i turn it on. i know where the buttons are so i can still listen to music but cannot see anything. what do i do??

    Did you already try this?
    Display shows white screen
    Turn iPod touch off and turn it on again.
    If the iPod will not turn off, try to reset it. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until either the Apple logo or battery symbol appears. If the battery symbol appears, continue to charge iPod touch until it is fully charged.
    If that doesn't work, try restoring the iPod. See this article for assistance.

  • Ipod has a blank white screen or "THE WHITE SCREEN OF DEATH"

    It's been like this for a while now and I don't know what to do besides to take it into the apple store since I think I have tried everything to help get it back to normal. Any suggestions?

    I received a 4th Gen 20GB iPod (around 2 years old)from a friend and asked me whether I could fix it for him, which has been left untouched as a paper-weight for almost 2 months.
    I tried to turn it on, and the screen was completed blank and the device looked dead. Before doing anything I prepared the following:-
    1. A window based PC
    2. A Mac computer
    3. An USB iPod cable
    4. A Firewire iPod cable
    5. An iPod AC charger
    As the iPod was previously formatted on a PC, therefore I tried to plug it with a PC via USB cable, it did not response and not able to get recognized by the PC. I ejected the iPod and connected with an AC charger, after a few minutes, I did a Reset for the iPod

    The iPod showed an Apple sign, it stuck there for almost a minute, the screen then showed a battery with an exclamation mark sign, and after a minute, the iPod turned off itself. I was sure that the iPod carried very low battery, and could not be charged by connecting it with any computer (both Mac and PC).
    I decided to let it have a charge with an AC charger for a bit longer, after 10 minute I did the Reset again, this time a sign of folder with exclamation mark showed up after the Apple sign, and again could not get recognized by a computer.
    I changed my mind, and put the iPod into disk mode

    Instead of connecting with a PC, I plug it with my Mac using a Firewire cable, it did not response, so I switched the cable to an USB, interestingly, the iPod got recognized and a window pop up indicating that the iPod needed to do a Restore. Therefore I clicked “Restore"

    - Did you try resetting the iPod:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Next try restoring from backup
    - Then restoring to factory defaults.new iPod.
    - Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since you likely have a hardware problem,
    If iTunes does not see the iPod, see if placing the iPod in recovery mode will make it visible so you can restore the iPO\od.  For recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
