Why is my ipod nanos screen soo dark?

The water pretty much ruined your LCD screen.  The only 2 things you can do is buy a LCD replacement screen or buy a new iPod nano.

  • Ipod nano screen

    Can anyone please tell me - ( I have spent many hours on the apple website looking for contact details of a real person; but no good )- what to do with my IPod Nano screen that does not work. It is not cracked but is very bright, unreadable and seems to have gibberish on it.
    I have tried the RESET trick but can see nothing on the screen.
    I live near DUBAI and nobody will talk to me about the problem. I won the thing in a competition last December and it only worked for a few weeks.
    Please help me Obeonekinobe, you're my only hope.

  • Why is my ipod touchs screen blank?, why is my ipod touchs screen blank?

    Why is my ipod touchs screen blank?

    how do you mean? does it not turn on? or is it on but nothing booting up?
    If it doesn't turn on is it possible that the battery is totally drained? if so, charge it fora  while and see if that fixes it. If it doesn't boot up you can try resetting it - hold down the sleep and home keys, past the red power down slider and until you see the silver apple logo come up.
    You can also try restoring it with iTunes.
    If that doesn't work then you may need to take it into the Apple store and have them take a look at it.

  • My iPod touch screen is dark, brightness setting all the way up. how do I get it back to normal?

    My iPod touch screen is dark, brightness is completely up and can barely see it. Started all of a sudden.

    I am experiencing the same problem.  There are lots of discussion threads on this topic.  Several people have had short term luck restoring their touch or wiping it clean and starting as a new ipod again. Not a great option, but better that losing the darn thing completely.  What has worked for me several times is to power the unit down and leave it for a day or two then it seems to work again. It seems clear to me that this is not a hardware issue, as when it first powers up the screen is fine and sometimes it lasts and other times only for 5 seonds. Also since resetting the software address it, there is no problem with the hardware.  SO where is tech support in addressing this.  My gen 2 ipod no loger has any sofware updates, thanks apple! 
    Anybody found a long term fix for this???????

    Hi Goofy Goat,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    It sounds like you have done some great troubleshooting for your iPod nano that is not responding. In this situation, if resetting it did not resolve, I would suggest restoring the iPod back to its factory settings and then sync your content back onto it from iTunes. Please use the following article as a resource for restoring.

  • Why does my Ipod Nano  sometimes lose volumn

    Why does my Ipod Nano sometimes lose volumn?

    If the Nano is not in a protective case while you are working out, there may be a good chance that sweat/moisture has found its way into the inside of the iPod causing its buttons and functions to short circuit.  Several users who used their Nano for workouts have run into the same exact issue.
    Some have been able to correct it by giving the iPod a few days to dry out and then clipping the Nano to another location on their body and/or using a protective case with the Nano.

  • Why is my ipod nano showing up in itunes device, but neither my iphone nor my mother's iphone are showing up?! Very irritated.

    Why is my ipod nano showing up in itunes device, but neither my iphone nor my mother's iphone are showing up?! Very irritated.

    Do you still have the "Music Video" Smart Playlist in iTunes? If you right click on a video file, which normally shows up under "Movies" you can pick the video type of Movie, Music Video, or TV Show. When you select "Music Video" the video file drops out of the Movies section and if the Music Video playlist is present will show up there.
    You might have deleted that playlist so it wouldn't be on the iPod either.
    So create a Smart Playlist where the rule is Video Kind IS Music Video...

  • Huge Ipod nano screen problem

    I have a big problem with the iPod Nano screen. It just doesn't work. I have tried reseting the ipod, restoring it but it just doesn't work.
    It is not a screen problem because when I plug it on to the PC the screen lightens up with just white on it.
    I could listen to the song by "blindly" selecting Shuffle. But now I can't even do that.
    I would REAALY appreaciate any help.

    If you can get one sent or brought down to you, you can replace it yourself It is not that hard to do, or I am sure you can find someone to do it for you. I live in Mexico and it is hard to get parts to us, there is also no repair place close, but we have people come from the states every once and awhile and they bring us parts so we can repair our own. Go on ebay and you will find screens for under 15 dollars U.S. and it comes with the tools that you will need to open your nano. Hope this helps.

  • Why does my ipod nano turn off and on?

    why does my ipod nano turn on and off?

    Error 9
    This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if the device is manually disconnected during the restore process. This issue can be resolved by performing USB troubleshooting, using a different USB dock-connector cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.
    Did you try everything above, including trying on another computer? If so then
    Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Ipod nano screen completely messed up

    I've noticed recently that my Ipod nano screen has become totaly messed up, i can only see the top half of it,where it says Music, Photos, etc. and even that is all deteriorated,whilst the bottom almost look's like a barcode. Although i can still listen to music, volume is inacessible.
    Could some one please help me on this, i just got this recently by winning it from a local radio station and I dearly love it, help would be appreciated.
    PS: this is not something physicly on the screen or the result of a scratched screen, it's the actual inside, where the song information etc. is viewed.

    Hi,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    You might want to try this link:
    Resetting iPod if it appears frozen or doesn't respond
    According to the Tech Specs (http://www.apple.com/ipodnano/specs.html) Windows 98 isn't supported - could that be the answer?
    Windows system requirements
    * PC with USB port or card (USB 2.0 recommended)
    * Windows 2000 with Service Pack 4 or later, or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 2 or later

  • Ipod nano screen discoloration or darker area

    Hello, I purchased an ipod nano on September 18th and did not purchase an extended warranty. I have noticed when i got it that on the screen there is a little discoloration or darker area in the center of the screen, it is more visible when held farther away, or while palying the game brick. (because of the diffrent color of the back ground, easier to see.) It can also be seen while the ipod is off and if you tilt it at an angle. Is there any way I could get this one repaired, since it is with-in 30 days of purchase? Also if I can get it repaired, what would be the price if I decide to get an extended warranty for my ipod nano? Thanks very much, Matt

    It's difficult to know what exactly is wrong with the iPod, but if it were me I would take it to an Apple store and have them take a look.
    The iPod warranty is for 12 months from the date of purchase, and if you have no Apple store nearby, you can arrange online service.
    Service request.
    The AppleCare extended warranty is $59. You can get this at the online store or a retail store.

  • Ipod nano 5th generation dark screen

    I accidently washed my ipod nano and did the rice thing. It turns on and plays my music but the screen is now dark so it is hard to read the menu. What is wrong? What can I do to fix this?

    It sounds like the backlight for the LCD display is no longer working (or maybe set to be OFF).
    The things I list below are what I'd suggest normally, but since this problem coincided with the iPod getting wet, it is more likely to be a hardware problem.
    Try doing a Reset (to "reboot" the iPod)
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1320
    You can check the iPod's Settings screen to make sure the backlight setting did not accidentally get set to be OFF.  On my nano, that setting is under Settings -> General -> Backlight.
    You can also go to the Settings screen and select Reset Settings.  This will reset all current settings to their default settings.
    If the iPod is recognized by iTunes when connected to the computer, you can try doing a Restore.  This is done by selecting the iPod in the iTunes sidebar under DEVICES, and going to the Summary tab (over to the right).  This will erase the iPod, reinstall the latest software, and set it to default settings.
    You could let it sit in a warm place for a while longer.  Maybe all the moisture is not gone...

  • Ipod Nano Screen Has 1/2 Inch Horizontal Line Of Odd Pixels

    I took my ipod nano on a backpacking trip way up in the canadian rockies. We camped in a tent and my ipod was exposed to below freezing temperatures and possibly high humidity conditions (it rained but the thing never got wet--it is also in a case). After one night i tried starting my nano up and it didn't start the first few times. I realized that it was extremely cold and i warmed it up in my hands for a while and it turned on after a few minutes.
    I thought everything was fine a dandy, but a look at my screen made my heart fall: in the middle of the screen, where there was supposed to be writting, there was white. What do i do? Investigate.
    I have never really experienced anything like what my ipod is doing, but i only have experience with things like gameboys or psps. Pretty much, when i turn on my ipod, this horizontal bar of "odd" pixels appear a bit darker, and resemble the very first picture/text the ipod displays (pictures in color, white, or text). It looks like the stuff is severely smudged with with something like a picture editor (Photoshop, for instance). To bring more oddness to the table: it doesn't stay like that (it isn't frozen)
    On the first time (up in the mountains) it changed to white within a fraction of a second, but as time went on the length of time before that bar turns to pure white lengthens. Nearly a week later, the length of time is nearing a half minute and is becoming less smudged looking. I may also note that it turns to white gradually.
    Everything else works just fine . I'd really appreciate help, info, or instructions on how to get my old ipod back! (interesting how we get attached...)
    Cheers,
    Unislash

    Okay guys, i know that this is a discussion forum, but i have been very very very patient here . I still have this line of really odd pixels... right in the middle of the screen. Help please 0_0
