White screen, won't shutt off!

I have just dropped my iPod, maybe four feet at most. It played fine for a minute then it went to a white screen and now it won't shut off. What should I do? This is a 80GB video model.

I highly dought that Apple would fix something like this under their warranty. You might want to take it into a local authorized ipod retailer to see if they can do anything for you.
You might also want to at least try this out first. See article:

  • The screen on my iPod touch is white and won't turn off and on?

    I was charging my iPod and forgot about it after a couple days and now my screen is white and won't turn on and off and I held hold button and button on screen for 10 seconds and it didn't do anything. HELP

    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.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Need Help - ipod video in trouble - white screen won't go away - help??

    White Scree appears and won't go away. Can someone help?

    Apple engineers have determined that this is caused by not allowing the firmware update to finish the installation before disconnecting the iPod. Try these steps.
    Reset the iPod.
    If the reset doesn't help, then put the iPod into forced disk mode.
    How to put the iPod into disk mode.
    Now connect the iPod to the computer. This step may immediately take you to the iPod's normal display screen. Reset the iPod to exit disk mode.
    If you still have the white screen, then you should use the updater to restore the iPod.
    Wait until the restore has finished before disconnecting the iPod. If you're unsure, wait at least 20 minutes (it's probably overkill but best to be sure). In my experience, the software updater for version 1.1.1 takes longer to complete the process than previous updaters.
    That should cure the issue.
    If however it doesn't, and your iPod is still non responsive (doesn't reset, nothing on the screen or button presses don't work), then it will have to be sent away for service.

  • Ipod nano white screen and not turning off

    hi I bought a new mini pioneer stereo/dvd and put my ipod nano on it yesterday.. no probs it played.... but today i put it on the dock and all that it showed on the screen was a white screen with "ok to disconnect" on it... I took it off and now it is still a white screen adn flashing "Do not disconnect" I'm freaking out because I am not technically minded and my brother spent hours putting music on it for me
    It is not turning off at all
    eek
    Thanks to anyone with time to help me

    Hi
    It seems to be ok now... I had to go out and it ran out of battery, when I switched it back on it  appears to be fine.
    If it happens again (hoping that it doesn't!) and i do the reset.. will that remove all the music that's on there?
    Sorry for the ignorance
    Thank you for the answer

  • 6301b white screen, won't turn on

    After messing with the PC Suite and trying to transfer files to the phone, the phone now is unable to turn on. It gives me a white screen for about 10 seconds then turns off. The only way to get it to try to turn on again is to remove and reinsert the battery, which in turn, causes the same problem.
    I have....
    -switched SIM cards
    -switched microSD cards
    -rebooted it with all combinations of the two
    -rebooted it when neither inserted
    Suggestions?

  • Sudden White Screen - Won't Recover

    My iMac G4 hadn't given me a lick of trouble until last night. I left it on, as I usually do, while I was gone for about 45 minutes. When I got back, the screen was white. Restarting it didn't help. Unplugging it and starting it didn't help. When I restart it, I get the start up sounds, but just a white screen. Any help or suggestions for my monitor? It's about 4 years old now...
    Thanks
    Meg

    Hi there...
    I'm not sure which reset may affect displays in the iMacG4 computer; in
    that some may help if there is no hardware defect, just a minor logic issue
    and not a component failure.
    Have you tried on startup to reset the PRAM? That is a handful, since the
    power button is on the back of the computer and you need to hold 4 buttons
    down on the keyboard simultaneously just after the startup tone sounds;
    and then keep holding them until you hear two more startup tones. The 4
    buttons are Opt + Apple + R + P.
    My computer had an odd video issue after installing the recent security
    update; but only in open application windows. I tried several things to
    hope to be rid of it; now it looks OK. My AppleCare goes until September.
    I am not sure if something as drastic as "Resetting the PMU" would help
    resolve this kind of issue. If you have the original video VGA adapter
    and a 17" or so VGA (cathode ray tube model) computer display, you
    could attach an external display to see if the video card is working that
    far; and may be able to see other control panels; and further troubleshoot.
    Usually if something such as the clock battery goes dead, you could still
    get a computer to work; the date and time could be way off (unless it is
    able to reset them automatically by the Apple Time Server online) and
    a few other clues would normally be present. Some models may have
    a display issue if the 3.6v lithium battery on the board goes dead. But
    it should not wink out the display while you are using it, or while it is
    powered-up. There are a few occasions where a issue may develop
    in one of these, when it may have tried to sleep, but for whatever reason
    the display does not go out. I am not sure if that's anything to do with
    the symptoms you've experienced; but things can happen.
    At some point, it may be necessary to contact a local authorized service
    provider and see if they have a qualified product specialist or (?) some
    person capable of further troubleshooting; and get an estimate. They
    may just try to throw parts at it, if they can't diagnose the true issues.
    If so, you may have to rethink what to do next; perhaps find an honest
    shop that is an Apple Specialist in the first place, with a reputation.
    Wish I could be of more help; and I hope some keyboard or PMU reset
    can help wake up your semi-comatose iMacG4 so the LCD works again.

  • HP Support Assistant pop-up message frozen on my lower right section of the screen, won't click off

    Help! A pop up message from the HP Support Assistant keeps popping up a few minutes after starting up my Pavilion laptop. It won't click off. It asks me if I want to keep Quick Access in my taskbar, but it won't let me pick yes or no or click it off. Help!  
    If I restart my computer, it goes away, but then comes back.
    What can I do? Thanks

    Hello wwheartww,
    If you go into the HP Support Assistant settings you can change how you display notifications on your laptop. Try setting the notifications to task bar only and see if the pop up continues to come up on your screen.

  • White screen & won't boot after Time Machine restore 10.8.2

    Hello,
    I know someone posted a similar issue but that it was related to a hardware failure.  Mine was not a hardware failure.
    Just wanted to give an FYI to anyone who may run into this issue.  I recently restored my Macbook Pro from a Time Machine backup (10.8.2)
    and I was getting a blank white screen at startup where the spinning line "|" would appear and then go away, and then come back, and then disappear...  Over and over.  Booting into single user mode resulted in the same issue.
    I ended up re-installing Mountain Lion over itself and my machine booted sucessfully.  Did all the software updates and I'm back at 10.8.2 again.
    This is just an FYI, something for you to try if you get the same error, hope this helps someone.

    Startup command-s and at the prompt type reboot
    Then press return.
