Hey All.

 

I was with my ipod today (as you do) and i was in the Farmers Market working and i spilt as lot of water on my apron (with my iTouch in my pocket).

About 10 mins after, I took out my iPod (with the screen turned off) and turned the screen on only to find it had gone very pale and bright, I was like CRAPP!! Then, after 5 mins of not doing anything, the screen began to flicker with white lines, and eventually went completely white.

 

Now, I know its not the white screen of death, because I can turn the screen on and off, but I sometimes can't tell.

 

Every hour and a half or so, the screen shows up (but in the very pale state I mentioned earlier) and it's very annoying!

 

Now, it is in the same state as it was from about 1 pm.

 

But, about two hours ago, I restored it to the max and it was fine until now. Now, it has just gone back to the start again!

 

Heres some extra info:

 

iPod touch 32gigs, software version 3.1.3, It was jailbroken with Blackra1n (I know, a sin), and i have had it since...the 27th (?) of December (or there about).

 

So, that's everything kinda, please please please can you help me out?

Plug into iTunes and restore to factory settings to see if that sorts out the problem,

It sounds to me like it's permanently damaged due to the water you spilt on it.

So I hope you have insurance which covers accidental damage, either that or you can make a claim on the warranty saying the screen went like that on it's own saying nothing about water ;)

I've got a years warranty, so it'll be fine, but this is the second time an iPod touch I have owned has broken: 1st my 16 gig had dead pixels all over the screen, and the headphones didn't work properly (completely not my fault, a friend damaged it).

I'm worried my dad won't replace it for me (no money is needed to be paid) and he is a strict man, but I havent told my parents yet, I'll do it tomorow, after doing a nice favour for my dad, like takin out the rubbish without him asking or something :)

I've heard that they don't replace it if it's water damage. I'd check it up if i was you.

 

 

 

 

oh and what's this white screen of death? D:

Yeah, they can tell if it's water damage, and they won't replace it.

my friend dropped hers in water, but then her dad opened it, dried it out, couldn't put it back together and then returned it.

 

i think they were just laidback with the returning :laugh4:

Depends if you get a jobsworth of a sales assistant

I heard that even if you live in a humid area and the iPod breaks on its own accord, they'll still say it's water damage. Good luck though! :smiley:

It's fine for now...:), but i can't connect to the internet (I restored the iPod twice and reset all of the settings, and when i go to Settings the wi-fi bit is in grey and says No Wi-Fi)

 

I must now configure my "VPN" (Settings>General>Network), does anybody know how I can do that?

 

Oh, and also, when I press the sleep button, the volume goes up (wtf?) and if I hold it long enough, the volume eventually (after like 3 seconds) goes to full volume. Weird, but not fatal.

What works for me sometimes when my iPod isn't cooperating is pressing both buttons down at the same time.

 

:shrug:

 

Good luck!

This is probably caused by not allowing the firmware update to finish the installation before disconnecting the iPod. However, when I connect to computer, I see Apple device in the hardware manager whcih indicates that at least it could be getting charged.
