Ipod touch white screen of death

Featured Replies

I've had my ipod for about 9 months now, and a month ago or so it started having a white screen. Sometimes I'll turn it on and it will be 100% fine, others I turn it on and it will be completely white. Or even it will be fine, white screen, I turn it on and off and it will work again. I've tried googling this problem to see if there was anything I could do, I got a lot of results but none of them helped me (Holding home and sleep button and so on...).

 

I'm posting this in hopes that I'm doing something wrong, or someone has a suggestion on another route I could take.

 

It's a 4th generation iPod touch. If I get nothing I guess I'll have to go a few days without music at school :ohnoes: and send it in.

 

Tell me if I've forgot to include anything.

Slayer; it's just what I do.
Thanks Hugger 88 for the awesome siggy!

Have you tired a clean restore? Are you jailbroken?

My relaxation method involves a bottle of lotion, beautiful women, and partial nudity. Yes I get massages.

I am not jail broken and I have restored it, but come to think of it I restored it to the factory settings and then until the last back up (which was when it was still messed up) so that would have been kinda useless haha. Going to try and restore it to original settings and then not go to a back up. Bye bye 3000 games of solitaire.

 

EDIT: After a restore to factory settings using iTunes and setting it up as a new iPod it is still giving me the white screen.

 

Doesn't seem like I have many more options than to send it in.

If there's one nereby, take it to an Apple store (not a reseller) and ask for a swap over. According to their so-called "Family rules" they swap them over over their under 3 years old.

Really? I new you could swap them in if they are under a year, as they are covered by warranty, but didn't know about that.

I got these for a while around last Christmas. Try letting it charge and leaving it alone for a while, that always worked for me. However, you might just be better off getting a replacement from Apple.

Sounds like the display cable is loose. It happened to me after I was repairing an iPhone 3G; securing the ribbon cable solved it.
