White screen on ipod 4th gen, white screen on ipod 4th gen

I have encountered the lovely white screen on my Ipod touch 4th gen. I have tried everything and still mot working. I got this as a gift and have no receipt . What are my options, is it a total loss?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- 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.

  • 4th gen ipod touch has white screen

    I have a 4th generation Ipod touch. The screen turned white all of a sudden for no reason. I've tried holding buttons letting it die and plugging it back in but the white screen is still there.It still makes noise. like the other day it was making a noise like someone was calling it. Then if I press the sleep/wake button and home button it takes a picture and I can hear the noise but still have the white screen. Does anyone know what I can do? Thanks

    try one of these ways:
    > restore you iDevice with iTunes in Recovery Mode (if you have to... back up your device before restoring)
    > let the battery go completely dead.... then plug it using USB to PC or Mac OS
    > replace the LCD with www.ifixandrepair.com
    > go to the Apple Store (official store not retail) and see what they can do. they can replace your device for refurbished price

    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. However, they may refuse to even look at tit since you worked on the iPod yourself. It could be that you broke a ribbon cable of did some other damage when replacing the screen, the screen was defective or there was other damage besides the screen, like the logic board.

  • My ipod touch 4th generation has frozen whilst being turned back on. The apple logo has been on the screen and ever so often the screen flashes white and then black. How do I get it to unfreeze at this stage?

  • 6th gen ipod nano has white screen and won't go into disc mode

    My ipod nano has a white screen - it will play music, and it is recognized by itunes. It won't enter disc mode. I can't seem to find any other helpful steps to follow online other than put it into disc mode and restore it via itunes. When I attempt to put it into disc mode holding power/Vol down together the screen will turn back, but when I then hold down Vol down/Vol up together while the screen is dark it just goes back to white screen. I did plug it into the computer and restore it via itunes, and the screen is still white.  Any ideas?  Thanks!

    Hi LizS5,
    It sounds as if you have already done much of the troubleshooting suggested in this article, but I would suggest you work through it in order to get your iPod nano back up and running -
    iPod nano (6th generation): Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3474
    Specifically -
    Try putting the iPod into disk mode:
    Reset the device (press the Sleep and Volume Down buttons simultaneously until the display turns black—about eight seconds).
    When the display turns black, hold down the Volume Down and Volume Up buttons simultaneously until the device enters Disk mode.
    While the device is in disk mode, sync it to iTunes and try to restore.
    And if the issue is not resolved -
    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?

  • My iPod Touch 4th generation's screen is still white. Could somebody please help me?

    My iPod touch currently has iOS 5.1.1. When I was about to use my iPod touch for music yesterday (05/30/12), I saw my iPod touch's screen was pure blank. The only sound my iPod touch makes is the voice control and there were no open apps. Also, there was only music on my iPod touch before the screen was blank at the time and there aren't any broken parts. It is not Jailbroken and I had my iPod touch since last August. My iPod  touch still has a white screen. I drained out my ipod touch's battery and it did not turn back on back to normal, the screen was still white. When I restarted my iPod touch, the screen was still white. I charged my iPod touch and the screen was still white. When I tried my iPod touch in DFU mode, the apple logo/connect to itunes logo never showed up and the screen is still white. I restored my iPod touch, that didn't work and the screen was still white. Is there a techincal glitch? Should I wait for the next update? Did anyone has/had the same problem? Can Somebody help me with this problem? Should I go to the Apple Store? Should I replace it? Someone please help me. I will be greatly appreciated for your help.

    Hi there Gabby,
    I'm sorry to see you are so frustrated. Try holding down the sleep/wake button and home button together, until the device restarts.
    If this still doesn't work, and you have restored your device, it seems like it could be a hardware problem. Book a Genius appointment and a local Apple Store, and they will talk you through repair and replacement options. If you are still in warentee, they will replace it for free. You can book an appointment at the link below.

    Have a nice day,

  • My iPod touch 4th generation's screen is part white but,my iPod still works but I can see only part of the screen.Does this mean part of my screen is broken? Or is there a way to easily fix this? If so please tell me how to fix it.

    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for &199 for 64 GB 4G and $99 for the other 4Gs.. They do not fix yours.

    Clearly, it's not inexpensive.  You might wish to try a few things yourself.
    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely.  Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

  • My iPod Touch 4G's screen has gone white and has lines on the screen. How do I fix it? Help!

    Hello everyone,
    I've had an iPod Touch 4th generation for a few years now, and, today, for the first time, the screen has gone white and their are vertical lines on it. What happened was I accidentally dropped my iPod Touch on tile and it landed on its back. I tried it out right afterwards to see if it was still working and it seemed like it was perfectly fine. Later on, I got an email from one of my friends, so I slid the email button on the lock screen to see the email. In the email, there was a link to a gif image, so I opened it in Safari. After I was done with it, I closed that tab. I also had a second tab open from earlier, so I wanted to close that tab as well. When I clicked on the button to see all tabs and close one, the screen completely froze. I held on to the on/off button on the top of the iPod, and, after about a minute, the screen switched to a completely white screen with lines on it. I've tried holding onto the on/off button again and it doesn't work. I also tried plugging it into my Windows 7 computer and opening iTunes, but my computer doesn't even recognized it is plugged in. It won't appear under the "computer" section in Windows Explorer, which will allow me to do USB-related tasks with it. iTunes doesn't recognize that it is plugged in either, so I can't do anything like restore the iPod to factory settings. The home button on my iPod hasn't been working for a while so i've always been using the accessibility feature that gives me a home button on the screen. Now that I can't access that, I can't hold down both the on/off button and the home button at the same time. What should I do? Should I send it in to Apple for repairs (which I won't do and would rather buy a new iPod Touch)? I am thinking of just leaving it to, hopefully, have the battery drain and the iPod would die. Then, I could charge it and see what happens. Other than that, i'm just clueless right now and I have no idea what I should do. Please help me!
    My iPod Touch is an iPod Touch 4th generation model with 8GB. It is running iOS 5.1.1.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - Try another cable
    - Try on another computer

  • IPod Nano 6g White Screen

    I dont know what I did, but every time i turn on my ipod nano i just get a white screen, Ive tried lots of methods to fix it and non of them work, ive even tried doing a full restore but that still doesnt work.
    Is there anything else i can try please help

    could just be something that will correct itself, my old nano does that (i have a 2nd gen) but as its a 6th gen its obviously more of an issue.. are you still under warranty?

  • How do I fix iPod Touch's white screen?

    Hello,
    So I'm having this problem with my iPod Touch 3rd Generation, where appears to be fully blank (white), and I've tried different methods that was mentioned on the internet including:
    Turn it on/off
    Hold home and power button for 40 seconds
    Restore iPod
    Drain the battery
    The thing is, none of these methods worked, sometimes it would go back to normal, but then 5 seconds later it will start flickering and turn white again. On a side note, everything works fine, that was how I managed to turn it off, so the iPod functions properly, you hear the sounds, but you can't see the screen 'cause it's all white. Just wanna ask if there's other methods I should try or should I visit the Apple Store (ps. I bought my iPod in another country )?
    Thanks,
    Eric

    This forum category (where your question appeared) is for iPod shuffle, which has no screen.  What iPod model do you have?
    When you connect the iPod to your computer, and run iTunes, the iPod does not appear in the sidebar, under DEVICES?
