Water splashed my iPod 4th generation an worked initially, but now when it is plugged in it sounds like it is powering up but nothing shows on screen, do I need a new LCD screen?

Some water got on my iPod touch 4th generation and when plugged into iTunes it is recognized but nothing shows up on the screen. Does this mean that I need to replace the LCD screen?

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.
- Restore from backup. See:                                 
iOS: How to back up                             
- 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.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar                       
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $199 if a 64 GB one and $99 for the others. They do not fix yours.

  • Updated iPod (4th generation) to iOS 6 and now it will not turn on...

    Updated iPod (4th generation) to iOS 6 and now it will not turn on...
    It sometimes has the apple on the screen, or says it needs to be charged, or is all white, black, or yellow. I have tried charging it, leaving it alone for a while and turning it off and back on. Nothing has worked. What should I try to do??? Help please!!!

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
    Other uses have had same problem.

  • Will IPOD 4th generation Charger work with IPOD Nano

    Hi
    My son has a 4th generation IPOD (20GB) which came with the standard IPOD charger. My wife has just bought an IPOD Nano (4GB). I just want to check whether I can use my son's charger to charge my wife's IPOD Nano. I don't want to risk damaging my wife's IPOD Nano in case the IPOD and IPOD Nano are rated differently and require different chargers.
    Thanks

    Yes, you can use that charger with the Nano.
    It will work just fine.

  • So I dropped my 4s in the lake. I got it apart and now she's working well was. They where a dark spot on the screen so I ordered a new LCD screen but a blue one. Well I get it in put it all back together and the touch screen doesn't work how do I fix this

    ??????????

    Find a competent repair shop.
    There are NO legitimate sources for iPhone parts.
    Unfortunately, since you opened it yourself, you are no longer eligible for the $199 out of warranty replacement from Apple.

  • So, I have had the Ipod 4th generation for about a year now, and I have never had any trouble adding music onto my ipod until this latest version of itunes came out. Now, I cannot add any more music onto my ipod! I Have grayed out songs that I can't play

    So, I have had an Ipod touch (fourth generation) for a little less than a year now, and I have never had any problems with it until the latest version of itunes came out. Now, my ipod never can sync (I left it up for an hour before and it only got to step 2 out of 7), and I can't add any more music to my ipod! To make it worse, about 100 songs that I had deleted off my ipod, but could still be found in my itunes library, appeared again on my ipod! But, they are grayed out and I can't listen to them so they just take up space.
    Any help would be very much appreciated. Thank you!

  • My ipod nano 4th generation only works when it is plugged into the computer; otherwise, the screen turns black and it is completely unresponsive to any efforts such as pushing buttons, reseting, etc. What should I do?

    Sounds like the battery is shot and in need of a replacement.  You can have Apple replace the battery for a flat fee or you can send it into a third party repair center for a bit less.
    Not much else you can do for troubleshooting this one.

  • My iPod 4th generation isn't working as it should be

    Ok so, I've had my iPod 4th generation, version 6.1.6, 32GB, for about 2 years now, and it WAS completely fine.. But then it started getting slower and slower until some apps started crashing, I thought it was normal at first, thinking it was just because it was getting old, but by the start of 2014 my home button was starting to not work properly, more apps started crashing and it started getting so slow to the point that it was useless! then about a month or two after this year started, none of my apps worked e.g. If I went on a game it would only last about 5 mins then crash, or if I went on Facebook, Instagram, pic collage or any other type of app.. They would just crash In the matter of 5-10 mins. At first it was only the downloaded/purchased apps that did this.. But now even apps like camera, photos, maps, music and App Store crash to... And also my home button has completely stopped working, you can feel that the button doesn't press down anymore either.
    so, I've  heard ways to fix the problem by looking at all the other questions asked,But all of them are by resetting the iPod; and still keep all the apps although the data in them will go, or switching it off and on and stuff like that... But I've tried everything! Apart from resetting the iPod like new because I don't want to lose any of the data in the apps (and not just stuff like dates and written information, but game progress, and stuff on the actual purchased app).. I don't mind about the home button being broken because I've got that round circle thing on the screen to use.. It's just the fact that I can't go on any of the apps anymore and that the iPod is completely useless.. Please someone help? Anyway to fix this?

    Did you restore from backup?
    Next would be to restore to factory settings/new iPod since maybe you have some corruption in the backup

  • My FaceTime won't work on my iPod 4th Generation anymore. I don't understand why. A few weeks ago, it worked perfectly fine. Then I had updated it, and it does not let me verify my email.

    A few weeks ago, my iPod 4th Generation's FaceTime was working fine. Until, unfortunately, a day or two after I had updated my iPod to the new iOS 5 software, it had stopped working. I'm not sure if this is just a coincidence, but it is bugging me. I've tried signing in, and it works, but once I get to the page where I must verify or put in an email address so you may FaceTime from, I am sent back to the sign in page. I have tried numerous times to sign in different accountsI have or just use different contact email. But, if I put in ([email protected]) for a sign in, and ([email protected]) for an address it may be called from, I always end up with the popup coming up and saying "Cannot verify because it is already in use. Although, no one knows any of my emails or passwords. I only have one email registered on my brothers iPad, but i try signing out of his and disabling it, so i may use it. But it doesn't work, in the past it did, I could even use an email for 3 iPods and iPads. but not anymore. i don't know what to do. Can i please get help?
