My Apple ipod display screen not working still plays

Try a hard reset. Hold the play and menu button down for about 30 seconds and the ipod should restart. If this does not work, plug your ipod in. Go to Itunes. Click on the ipod tab on the left, at the bottom there should be a bottom that says restore to factory settings. Try pressing this button. If these do not work, take it into your local apple store. They should be able to provide the help your looking for.
Thanks :)

Try going in itunes, right clicking on the song, and click create AAC version. The song may be in the wrong format which is why it won't finish playing it. Hope this helps!

Sounds like a bad display. You can get replacement displays here http://www.ifixit.com/iPod-Parts/iPod-Nano-Gen-2-Color-Display/IF199-000

Hi Guys.. try this out

1. Toggle the Hold switch on and off. (Slide it to Hold, then turn it off again.)
2. Press and hold the Menu and Center (Select) buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears, about 6 to 8 seconds. You may need to repeat this step.

A few things to try... Get another ipod and back up (using the menu button) to the first menu list you can,( should show the Music, Movies, ect list) and then do the same to your broken ipod. Follow the good ipod with the broken ipod and open a song. (just to clarify, you are using the good ipod to know what to press in the broken ipod because you can't see the screen). Now use your headphones to see if it is playing. If it works, your LCD is dead or depixelated. A screen replacement is necessary. You can find one on eBay for around $25 or someone to do it for you possibly on Craigslist.
If this doesn't work and it doesn't sync right to your computer then *********** board may be the culprite. Unfortunately this is the second most expensive part to replace. If you don't want to deal with it sell it on eBay/craigslist and put the money towards a new one.

try reformatting it. but if you still want to save it everything in your ipod, try to check out your lcd.. its better to see just all the lines than having problems with the drive itself. but i hope it still works and can play your songs, because it's kinda more cheaper if the problem is only the lcd :)

Reboot your IPod by holding down on the center button while pressing the menu button. The Apple logo will appear.

If it still continues, reload your IPod software from Itunes.

your screen seems to be broken.

ya just hold the menu and center button till an apple image appears on screen!

this sounds like you have left the ipod in a hot car or in the sun too long, if so there is not a true fix for this problem. You can always take it in for a fix at an apple store.
