White screen/black screen on ipod touch

I have the 'white screen' problem. I have tried to restore through itunes but ipod touch does not respond and the screen goes black. When I simultaneously hold the home and on/off buttons down, sometimes it responds, sometimes not. Very inconsistent results.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

My sleep button doesnt wor either. Please help me!!!!!

Hello susilovesyou1,
I would be concerned too if my iPod touch only displayed a black screen. I found an article with steps you can take when you experience and issue like this:
Display has no backlight or dark screen
Try turning the iPod touch off and then on again.
If the issue persists, try to reset the iPod touch while it is connected to power.
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
Contact Apple Support.

Can I do screen share with my iPod touch 4th gen and my iMac?

Hi,
Is it possible for me to use screen sharing with my iPod touch 4th gen and my iMac?

You can control/use/view you Mac via the iPod. There are apps and program like GoToMyPC, TeamViewer.
Some do not do sound..
There is no way to control the iPod from a computer

I'm not able to see video from utube or from other source. I get a white or black screen. I have down loaded flash player and no change.

I have downloaded flash player. I still get a white or black screen. What should I do now?

Try downloading Chrome, the browser from Google, and see if you can view YouTube, etc., videos. If so, there's likely a problem with your Flash plugin. Which browser are you using now? If Safari, go under the Help menu to "Installed Plug-ins" and make sure that you see "Shockwave Flash".
Also, if you've just installed Flash, make sure that you restart Safari.

You may have to restore the device to default factory setting, and either restore from backup or set up the device as new.
If, after restoring the device, and either restoring from backup or setting up as new doesn't fix your issue, then you may be experiencing a hardware issue with your touch screen and service will be needed on the device.
I hope you have been backing up to iCloud or iTunes on your pc or mac.
Let me know if this helps.

Iphone does n't restart and all i see is a blank screen (black screen). I have tried recharging the battrey but no success

I rebooted my computer and now it's working.
When in doubt, reboot, but in my frustration this afternoon it didn't occur to me.
Thank you all so much for taking the time to answer my question.
I hope this simple solution will help someone else.

I get frustrated with Apple too, but if you've spent any time on an Android device, you would know how lucky we are to have an Apple product. The interface is awful and there are no apps, even to get stuck.
Again thanks...

If you tried a restore and it is still doing it, then you most likely have a hardware issue.

Is there a way to fix the white or black screen on Ipad 4th Gen?

Ive tried to reset it and restore to factory settings but this does not work. The screen was white until I restored to factory settings and now it's black when it starts up. Ive also let it die and tried to charge and power it on again but no go. It's an Ipad Black 32GB 4th Gen. I will post a link to one of the pictures I had of it below. I am wondering if I have to pay how much it'll be to fix. It was working great until about a week ago when it randomly happened. It was purchased in February of 2013.

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

Touch screen not working on iPod Touch (after I dropped it in a fish tank)?

Hello,
I dropped my brand new iPod Touch into my fish tank while it was on. It stayed on for a few seconds but shut down before I was able to get it out. Besides the obvious water damage, it also suffered three cracks across the screen.
I immediately dried it with towels and stood it up to let the water drain out. When no more water was dripping out of the charging port on its own, I took to blowing into both the charging port and the earphone jack myself until there were no more water droplets coming out. When that was finished, I buried my iPod in a bowl of rice for 4 days.
Today I took my iPod out, and tried to turn it on. Nothing happened, so I plugged it into my charging dock. The white Apple icon appeared, as if it were about to turn on, but went black after about 30 seconds. This repeated itself many times until finally, to my surprise, the lock screen came on! I was so excited that it finally started working, and swiped my finger across the "Slide to Unlock" bar. Nothing happened... puzzled, I tried again. It will not let me type in my code or anything, the touch screen is not responding.
Any ideas?
I at least want to get it to sync with my computer so that I can get my data on there before having to replace my iPod, I do not want to lose everything (for the second time).
Thank you so much in advance for any tips or advice that you can offer at this time.
-Amanda

First read this representative suggestion on saving your soaked Touch:
http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_do_you_fix_an_iPod_that_fell_in_water
If you used your Touch like most users, you sync the tunes via iTunes. That means all the audio and video is saved to your hard disk - which is great news. Your documents are preserved. On the other hand, if you don't use iTunes, I'm not sure I can help.
Do you sync your Touch?

How much does a standard screen repair on an iPod Touch 4th Generation cost? How can I get one?

I droped my black iPod Touch 4th Generation from 4 feet on tile floor. The whole screen shattered in a "spider web" crack, it's still usable and responds to touch and other than the crack is in working condition. I want to know how much would it cost (about) to send to Apple and get a new screen installed, and how can I do this and how long would it take? Thanks.

Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $199 for 64 GB 4G and $99 for the others. They do not fix yours.
Apple - iPod Repair price
How long will my iPod service take?
Service arranged through Apple normally takes approximately one week. If your iPod is personalized, you can expect service to be completed within approximately ten calendar days from the time you send your iPod to Apple.
If you make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store they will exchange it on the spot.
