Hello!!
I have a problem with my iPod
I got it on the 25th (so it's been 8 days) and it works very well, I've used about 1.5 GB (just a normal thing) and then earlier, I plugged it into my computer to recharge it (it was completely empty: I was told that at first, you have to completely drain it (it's better)) I should specify that it was the first time I completely discharged it
So, I plug it in, my brother is on the computer, I leave it, I come back half an hour later, and it's all white, the screen is on, it doesn't respond anymore, and the computer detects it but at the same time doesn't detect it anymore. I unplug it
Still all white, doesn't respond anymore
I start to worry
It's been 2 hours that it's like this
I've tried everything
Please: if this has happened to anyone, please let me know what you did!! Please!! I'm so stressed!!
Respond, thanks

I have a solution! My iPod also had a completely white screen! But actually, you need to reset your iPod!
Let me explain:
You need to press the central button and the "Menu" button simultaneously until an apple appears on the screen.
Press for about 5 to 10 seconds. If that doesn't work ........ >o<
I hope I was able to help you!

thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you so much for this message.

While reading the first messages, I really thought it was out of order because I had the same white screen problem after a completely drained battery.

I will keep this advice carefully.

Thank you very much. I had my friend's iPod and I was really stressed, and then I went on Google and typed in "white screen on iPod" and I saw your advice to press the button and the menu. It relieved me

Thanks again

Well, I tried what you said, but the screen keeps turning off, turning back on, turning off again, and turning back on, making two little noises each time. I don't know what to do!!

And here we go again, impossible to make the apple appear. It turns black when I press the two black buttons that scroll, but nothing happens. When I release, the screen goes back to white. PLEASE, A SOLUTION bibi.

Have you tried to restore it?

You need to press at the same time.

I confirm !!!!!!
You need to press the home button and the start button (at the top) for a while, and it will return with the Apple logo on the screen.
Then when you charge it, it will work like new.

sorry but for mine it doesn't work, I can restore it via my PC but it's still a white screen. I've tried 10 times the home button + the button on the top left but nothing works (iPod Touch from July).... I have a hard time understanding how this kind of 'shitty' product can be put on the market!! (sorry I'm a bit angry!!!)

Hello !!
Thanks to everyone for your responses, and sorry for only replying ... 1 year later ^^
Actually, it’s a bit weird but it freezes on my computer when I plug it in 1 time out of 3, and after that, I just have to wait for the battery to completely drain before I can recharge it and use it again.
When I went to FNAC, both times they told me there was nothing wrong. Then on the 3rd time, they said there was something misconfigured and they "fixed" it.
Actually, I don’t know what they did but it didn’t change anything at all, but well, never mind, now I don’t worry anymore when it does that, I just get frustrated ^^
So, thanks again for your responses, I’m glad my problem helped some, even if it hasn’t helped me at all...
Just one little thing: the warranty on the iPod isn’t great (unless you pay so it’s a bit meh), so if it hadn’t turned back on they wouldn’t have replaced it. :@
Thanks again to everyone, I’ll be able to mark this question as resolved -which I should have done a long time ago!! ^^-
Bye !!

Hi everyone
I think I found the solution for the white screen!!!
Actually, it's a bad connection between the iPhone and its screen.
So once your screen is white, you need to gently press on both sides
left and right of the screen, and you'll see the image come back.
For me, it's a manufacturing defect, so you need to send it back for repair like I did, while explaining the problem to the technician.
Do your tests and keep me updated.

Me too, as soon as I pressed a key it turned completely white, so I had it repaired under warranty but they couldn't do anything. After that, I wanted to have it repaired out of warranty (so for a fee) and it was the same, it's good for the trash!

Thank you so much!!!!!!

This morning I woke up, turned on my iPod nano 3G and, to my great surprise, the screen was white. I then went to this forum and thanks to it, I can listen to my iPod again :D
(uhh... it took me a while to turn it back on because at first I was pressing the central button and the bottom button instead of the central button and the menu button --')

When I saw the one who pressed the wrong button, I was laughing so hard, but then I realized I was making the same mistake, so thank you very much, that's good
it would have prevented me from cheating on my next test.

Hello, I also had a completely white screen when it was empty. But you need to let it charge. As soon as it turns back on, there should normally be an image. I hope this helps you.

Thank you.
