Two beeps and a blank screen....

Updated my iPod nano's software this morning by connecting it to the PC and selecting the download and install option. I was soon alerted by two beeps and saw that the screen had gone blank (just a milky backlight.) iTunes still recognises it and it still plays music if you can operate the controls blind.

Is there any solution for this problem? Resetting/restoring does nothing. Would appreciate any help. Thanks.

PC, Windows XP

Hello Everyone. Your iPod's probably had a bad reaction to the new firmware. Try reseting the iPod by holding down the Center and Rewind buttons for a few seconds. Try restoring your iPod again, uninstall and reinstall iTunes again and than see what happens. If it still is not functioning properly I suggest taking it to an Apple Store and requesting service online for repair or replacement.

I've had this exact same problem. I tried restoring my iPod, but it seemed to have only made it worse. After it had been restored, it asked if I would like to sync my songs to my iPod. I said yes. Now whenever I connect it to my computer, it always comes up with an error message that says certain songs couldn't be copied to my iPod, since the files could not be found. After I press "ok", moments later my iPod disconnects from iTunes. A few minutes after, it connects again, and comes up with the same error message. It does that again and again or at least until I disconnect it. Just recently I tried pressing the buttons on my iPod (the screen is still milky and dark) and found out that I can actually play my music! I'm so glad to know that it's working, but I want my screen back. ):
