IPOD Video White Screen Of Death

Communications | Handheld / Small Computing Devices

Just an update to my previous IPOD REVIEW. After 4 Days, My Ipod screen was scratched and then I got what I'm going to term "The white screen of death" My IPOD has turned completely white screen, no menu, nor does any button combination work. Now it’s just a $450 paperweight. Figures. Please note that this is not after any abuse what so ever. It was never dropped, and I put it in my pocket when I was listening to it. Scratches didn't come from anything except the lint in my pocket. I went to circuit city to get a AV cable to hook it up to my TV and no luck they didn't carry it. I'm not as happy with this IPOD as I was before.

And you HAVE to get a carrying case or it will be scratched up really bad after a few days.

re: white screen...

mine is a 40gb 4th gen non color ipod. The I believe the hard drive is going bad because none of my 4 computers will allow updates or anything. Have you tried doing a restore on it? It will restore it to factory settings and you will lose everything, but you should have all your music on your computer anyways, right?
