Apple iPod Touch with a White Screen of Death” width=”650″ height=”317″ />
Locate the power button. This is the rectangular button on the top left side of the iPod Touch.
Locate the home button. This is the circular button on the face (screen) of your iPod towards the bottom.
Hold the home button and the power button at the same time and wait until the device shows the Apple logo on your screen (should take around 30 seconds). Your iPod should reboot with your files just the way you left them.
If the hard reboot doesn’t solve your problem then connect your iPod to iTunes. iTunes should detect a problem with your iPod and give you an option to restore it to factory settings (erases all your songs and files so back them up first).
home + power button didn't work. I don't get an apple icon EVER – even after holding those buttons for 2 minutes straight.
Syncing didn't work
Restoring to factory setting didn't work
Got anything else???
OH! and iTunes didn't detect any problems, I had to manually restore.
it desnt show the apple logo but it does reset and it still has screen
yea i tried that and it didnt work either does anyone else have any other ways you can fix your ipod touch because when i press it the screen goes black then goes back to white and my itunes doesnt detect any problems with it :/ can anyone help me please? x
I have been having the same problem as this.. have u found a solution!
If normal reboot fails to solve the problem. Do a DFU mode restore. "http://www.wonderhowto.com/how-to-fix-password-locked-iphone-ipod-touch-392678/ " and update the firmware. If the ipod "works" like recognizes itunes , transfers data. Your battery, connections, and chips are good and your lcd screen is bad. Check the LCD display connection, ribbon cable, and LCD screen for cracks and physical damage. Major repair bill…sorry..
oh my gosh thx i thought i was screwed and forced to send it to that money hog apple…..
thx
