White screen wont reset

My facebook app went wonky and froze up. I tried turning the ipod off and the screen went all white. I have tried holding down the round button and the top button at the same time for more than 10 seconds. No results. No results from plugging it into a charger or itunes. The screen is just white, on, and the device is getting very warm.

All you can do is to let the battery fully drain. After charging for an hour, try the reset and connect to your computer and try to resiore via iTunes as necessary. If still problem you likely have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is necessary.

    How to permanently fix a 'White Screen" after resetting and restoring? 2nd generation ipod

    There are two different resets. The reset you did involved holding the sleep/wake & home button.
    The other reset will do exactly what it says. That reset is located in Settings - General - Reset.

  • HT4528 my phone has a white screen and resetting it wont do anything?

    My iphone has a white screen that will not go away. I have tried to reset it and it just goes black then turns on again and goes back to the white scree?

    Sounds like it's broken, doesn't it?  Bring it to Apple for evaluation.

  • White screen at reset.  Won't start up with install disk.

    White Screen persists on restart. Folder with ? appears after a few minutes. Tried safe start - nothing. Tried RAM reset (option, cmd, p, r) - nothing. Tried to restart with C key to use install disk, C drive powers and spins for awhile - nothing. Thought its was hard drive but, wouldn't install disk by pass that?
    No outside devices plug in.
    Son's computer, he plug in iphone and it wouldn't show on desktop so he reset the computer and now this.
    Help!

    I have the same issue. I had noticed over previous weeks that the fan seemed to be on quite a lot when the computer was just left idling. Anyway- there is now an odd repetitive intermittent clicking as it tries to start up. Get nothing then the ? folder. I have tried all the tips in the manual. Managed to load utilities disk and there is no recognition of the HD at all. All a bit worrying...
    Related questions- (1) are my iPod touch photos saved in full resolution on the iPod (or do you still have to enable the iPod for this?) (2) Can I download them from the iPod to another computer. (3) Can I do the same with iTunes?
    If anyone has had a similar experience and been to an engineer / service provider I would love to hear what was found, and whether the HD was recoverable.
    Many thanks all-

  • White Screen - Hard reset, restore doesn't work

    So my iphone just passed it's warranty by 11 days. It is a 3G 8gb. I noticed the white screen thing and googled it. I found out how to do a reset with the home button and power, did that. Fixed it for a brief few minutes. Then white screen again. So I did the restore in itunes. Fixed it for a few minutes, then white screen again. All the functions of my phone work fine. I don't think I have ever dropped the thing. It has a hard case. Anyways, i can play with the phone by trying to bend it and the white screen disappears and goes back to normal. Then the slightest touch will set it back to white. Very strange, its very touch sensitive and I can manipulate it to get it to clear sometimes. My question is what is causing this and can it be fixed without going through apple? I pretty much have to buy a new phone, but upgrade to 3Gs isn't possible for 6 months. Thanks

    If an iPhone reset, restoring with iTunes from your iPhone's backup, and restoring with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup does not resolve it, I don't believe you have another option besides going through Apple.
    Apple offers an out of warranty or not covered under warranty "repair" price, which pays for an exchange which will include a warranty.

    No data is lost due to a reset.

  • White Screen after resetting

    Symptoms:
    The unit displayed a white screen.
    I applied the technique of pressing center of click wheel plus menu to reset it.
    The display was still a white screen
    Then went to center button+menu followed by center button + play
    Still got a white screen
    Used iTunes to restore to factory settings.
    the result was a display that was rolling.
    Used the combination of buttons - center+menu followed by center+play and the unit appeared to reset. Apple logo appeared and display came up stable.
    I was able to use the device as expected.
    Unplugged it from the computer
    After a few hours turned on the device and its back to displaying a white screen.
    Any suggestions as to what might be the cause of the problem?
    Thanks

    Make sure it is charged for about 10min using the adapter, then connect in recovery mode, explained in this article:

  • 10.5.7=restart=white screen=hard reset

    I know some of the threads have been about people not being able to get their display back. My issue is that when I choose restart from the apple menu, I end up with a white blank screen that stays that way until I hard reset my macbook (pressing power until it goes completely off). When I power it back on my display comes back. I sure hope the next update fixes these issues.

    This sounds more like an issue with your system installation or computer than with the 10.5.7 update. You might start by doing this if possible:
    How to Perform an Archive and Install
    An Archive and Install will NOT erase your hard drive, but you must have sufficient free space for a second OS X installation which could be from 3-9 GBs depending upon the version of OS X and selected installation options. The free space requirement is over and above normal free space requirements which should be at least 6-10 GBs. Read all the linked references carefully before proceeding.
    1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
    Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
    3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
    4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
    5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
    6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update.

  • Nokia 6230i white screen. needs reset?

    hi all,
    I recently got my Nokia 6230i a bit wet. I put it up in the sun and it worked fine for sometime, but then the screen went completely blank. Everythin in the phone works well except the screen.
    I've found out that resetting might help. How can I reset my phone?
    Can anyone help?

    Hi Sanedevil,
    Resetting the phone will almost certainly not work, and if you were to do so, you would also loose all the data in the phone.
    The problem is almost certainly due to the fact it got wet.
    Although you said it did work for a while, the LCD, circuit board and components have probably been slowly corroding and this is what has caused the screen to go white.
    Changing the LCD might work, but a reset will certainly not.
    hope this helps.
    My posts are my opinion and in no way the direct views of Nokia.
    If my posts are helpful, please give me some KUDOS using the green star on the left.
