White iPod Screen
Hello. I've been using my iPod nano for almost a year now and all of a sudden it starts up with a blank white screen. It's bizarre. All I have changed was the "manually manage music" setting and the "enable disk use" setting. I have tried restoring the iPod but it has failed to produce any tangible result. Thanks.

This is what happened to mine as well. There's a big black spot on the top right corner, and it kind of trails downward a bit. Its there even when the iPod's screen is off. I thought I might have hit something when it was in my pocket that may have damaged it. The iPod itself still works, music is fine and everything, but you can't see anything.
If I push down on the display at the bottom I can sort of make out text that flashes on the screen very briefly. I don't want to reset it because than I'll never find the button to play music if it doesn't fix the screen...

Today, my iPod was working just fine until I encountered the dreaded white screen of death. I had firmware 1.2.2 on my 5G iPod. Resetting my iPod does no good because I just get a white screen again. No music plays through either. My computer can +kind of+ detect my iPod. But with iTunes, its more of a hit-or-miss try. I tried restoring it on one of my older comptuers, but it said resources cannot be found. On this newer computer I'm using, it first directed me to a 1.2.1 downgrade for my iPod video, but iTunes once again froze on me, making me miss the installation. I had iTunes detect it a few times again saying its corrupt; but now its trying to make me install a 1.5 update for an iPod with a scroll-wheel. Can anyone help me with this?

Vision of White, IPod Screen is White
Happily singing away to my favorite song when all of a sudden my Itouch screen flashed white twice then went black. I hooked it up to the laptop, it did it's syncing thing and the screen is still white. White is lovely but not when it is my Itouch. Any others ever have this problem at all. It isn't even a year old yet.
Yes Itunes still recognizes it. That was a second question after this happened and I plugged it in to the laptop and hooked it up an update came along and now my I tunes is acting up, the sync failed this morning.

IPOD Help~(cannot view anything except a white blank screen)
Alright...I never expected to post up something in this discussion thread this soon...since I got my 30gig iPOD just three days ago...and curious as I am to things...I think I broke it, hah~
Anyways...I need some help.
Here's the story.
I was updating my iPOD to a newer version, I'm assuming...and during the updating process...I accidently 'x'ed out of the box...and now my iPOD screen does not show anything except for a white blank screen. If I hold down the menu and center button for six seconds...It shuts down...but when I release/let go of the buttons...it makes a ring sound and goes back to the white blank screen.
And also...when I go to the start menu and look under the iPOD folder...it has an update your ipod thing...I clicked it...and it pops up with a screen, saying stuff like it's 'initializing'...and tells me to plug in my iPOD with the usb chord...but I get a message saying 'can't mount iPOD' or 'internal error'
I think I've tried anything there is to solve this problem...like the five R's...etc.
I do not want to think that I broke my iPOD already. So if anyone knows, please reply back.
Thanks in AdvanceHi Sky,
Hmm - I see the shapes, I'm not sure why they're disappearing when you draw them - too simple of a file to point at some other issue. It seems like something with the installation went wrong or is missing (the player that renders the Stage for AS3 documents). I think the first thing will be to get the update. Can you try downloading from this page instead of through the update manager? http://www.adobe.com/support/flash/downloads.html Then try running the executable that you download. If this doesn't fix it, Flash may need to be fully removed and reinstalled.

Why is my IPOD screen white? I have a 3rd generation Ipod nano. When I toggle it on, the screen lights up, but is blank. Is there a fix for this problem? I have reset and reformatted my Ipod with no success. After several on/off cycles it will usually return to a normal screen, but it is very time consuming. My Ipod still works when the the screen goes bright white- I just can't see anything to adjust, etc. Thanks for any info.

cliftonfromrichmond, what are you talking about??
I'm bustin' your chops. Some call it humor, some don't have a sense for it....
The real point is Kappy gave you a link to a list of video demonstrations of changing the digitizer to show you that what you intend to do can in fact be done. However, not once but TWICE you questiofed what was freely given to you, and you obviously didn't take the time or make any effort to find out if white framed digitizers are available.
The fact of the matter is, white framed digitizers are available, and rather inexpensively I might add.
My post with the outrageous prices was intended to trigger some of your obviously dormant gray matter into some form of activity that might just resemble intelligent human thought and maybe generate a giggle or two. Guess I was wrong.... But at least now I know why you have a picture of a box of rocks for your avatar.... -
