White screen on my ipod classic

Can anyone please help me????? I brought an album from itunes and copied it onto my ipod classic as usual, then the ipod's screen went white. Now it will only turn off. I have tried the reset thing with toggling the hold button and menu/centre but it has made no difference. DOes this mean i will loose everything on my ipod? PLease can someone help, i am desperate......

Most likely, its time to have the iPod screen replaced.
But if you are lucky, it is some memory overflow, try to Hard Reset the  iPod  as below- this does not delete or erase any song or data.
After charging till full charge, at least 2 hours (preferably 4 hours)
Toggle the Hold switch, make sure you dont see the red mark when you do the  next step
Reset the iPod -> Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about 10 secs till the Apple Logo comes ON
Then release the buttons
Select your preferred language.
Here is the Apple support Article on the 5Rs

Good Luck!

    Try a hard reset. If that does not work, let the battery completely drain, recharge and test.

    I'm getting a white screen on my iPod . How do I fix it?

    This could be the result of a few different things.  A damaged LCD screen, corruption in the iPod's software, or a loose LCD ribbon cable.  If a restore of the iPod in iTunes does not take care of the issue, then the iPod likely needs to be serviced.

    - Try:
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If not successful and you can't turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for at least an hour try again.
    - If still not successful time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Itunes just shows a white screen that says "ipod"

    Hi!
    My boyfriend just bought an 32 gb ipod touch. When he plugged it into his computer to sync with itunes, the ipod touch was recognized, but instead of the normal screen that shows the touch's serial number and other information, as well as the tabs for syncing music, videos, and applications, all we see is a white screen that says "ipod." I plugged my 32 gb touch into his computer and itunes worked fine. Any advice? Is the ipod the problem or is it itunes?

    Try:
    - Resetting the iPod. 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.
    - Next try placing the iPod in Recovery Mode and then restoring via iTunes.

  • I get only a white screen on my ipod

    I am getting a white screen on my Ipod I have restored the ipod and the music loads onto it but I cant access the music because of the white screen.

    Which version of ipod are you using? Try forced reset and see if that helps. If new nano then hold down power and home button for few seconds till it reboots.

  • How do I repair the white screen on my ipod touch?

    How do I repair the white screen on my ipod touch. I have tried to hard reset the ipod, however every time I press the top button to lock the screen, it goes to a white screen.

    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.  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.
    There's more to try but let's go a bit at a time.

  • Blank screen on my ipod classic, help? please

    My ipod classic has just a blank white screen. I've let it die and recharged it, still blank. I've reset it to factory settings and it's still blank. I've done the press and hold with the menu/center buttons, and that doesn't even work. anyone have any ideas?

    For a fully discharged iPod battery, you need at least half an hour of recharging before the screen will come back to life, if the screen is working.
    So leave it connected to a PC high power USB 2.0 port or wall charger,  and check the display after one hour, see what is on the screen,  a charging sign or still no display.
    To Reset after your charging is complete, Press Menu and Center Button for 10 secs till the Apple logo comes ON, of course, if the LCD screen is dead, this wont help you.
    Good Luck!
