  1. Back up your iPod Touch's data to your computer before the restore to prevent losing data. You'll need to reinstall it after the restore process.
  2. Connect to the internet and install the latest version of iTunes from the Apple website.
  3. Make sure your iPod Touch is connected to your computer.
  4. Pick "iPod Touch" in the Source pane of the iTunes program.
  5. Click on the Summary tab.
  6. Choose "Check for Update."
  7. Select "Restore" and follow the instructions to finish restoring your iPod Touch.
  8. Complete an Advanced Restore
  9. If following the steps in the previous section did not work, follow these steps to perform an advanced restore. Turn off the power on the iPod Touch.
  10. Plug the iPod Touch into your computer.
  11. Power on the iPod Touch.
  12. Press the "Home" and "Sleep/Wake" buttons together for 5 seconds until the Apple logo appears.
  13. Release the "Sleep/Wake" button but continue holding down the "Home" button. The iPod Touch should reboot, and iTunes will notice the iPod Touch in recovery mode.
  14. Return to the above section and follow those steps to restore your iPod Touch.

My ipod wont turn on and before it turned off on me i was playing a game and the screen went white how do i turn it back on ?

Plug your device in for several hours before attempting to turn it back on. Then you may want to turn the unit on while the ipod is NOT plugged in.

HELP! A half to a third of my iPod touch screen went white. Fix?

hi there, it sounds like the screen has dead pixels to me. If it is under warranty, they will be happy to fix it for you. If not, then I recommend getting a new iPod touch.

My ipod touch wont turn on, it shows the little pple symbol on the screen, then flashes white, blacks out, and the apple appears again. I've pressed all the buttons to try to get it to work, but it keeps...

try holding the menu button and the power button for about 20 secs. this will cause it reset, if this method doesn't work, then hold down the menu button, connect it to a PC then hold down the power button, if you have Itunes installed on your computer, it will alert you that it detects an Ipod in recovery mode, basically after that it'll attempt to fix your problem, and it will be able to turn on again.

My Ipod Screen Went White And Now It Wont Turn On, How Do I Fix It?

Try to reset it. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until either the Apple logo or battery symbol appears. If the battery symbol appears, continue to charge iPod touch until it is fully charged.

If this doesn't work, try restoring the iPod

Doesnt turn on.

This same thing happened to me. I was playing fantastic contraption and my ipod screen just went black and wouldnt turn back on. When I plugged it in to a charger, it made that charging noise, but wouldnt turn on. SOLUTION: try holding in the sleep/wake(power) button, and the home button at the same time for about 15 seconds or until you see the white apple logo. That worked for me, hope you get it fixed.

Turned black

I had the same problem.  I went to the Apple.com site and went to the trouble-shooting section.  They said I needed to "reset" it.  This is done by holding in both the turn on button on the face and the turn off button at the top.  Hold in both at the same time for 10 seconds are more.  That worked for me.  
If that doesn't work, they also had something which required hooking it up to your computer, but that "fix" erases everything you have added to it.  It's just like starting over.  
Hope the first method works for you.
