IPod screen WHITE but still responding...?

I've had my iPod touch for a year (4th generation) and 3 days ago I restored it because it was working slow. Yesterday around 4pm, the screen turned completely white. I know it still responds because when I plug it into the computer, it says there is an iPod plugged and it makes that sound when you charge it. I tried pressing the sleep and home button but the screen just turns black and stops responding until about a few seconds when it is turned on. I just tried to restore it again but that doesn't work either. What do I do???

Im atm trying to drain the battery (waiting for it for 12 hours) and than a restore

its not the hardware im 100% sure of it and i dont have warranty to it anymore

iPod touch, iOS 5.1, iPod Touch 4th gen

- Did you restore to factory defaults/new iPod? If not try that.

- You can then try, as you said, letting her battery fully drain and tehn try again.

- If still problem thn it appears that you have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

After charging for an hour try a reset:

Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at

least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

- Then connect to your computer and try to restore.

- If still problem then it appears that you have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I'd wager your video display panel has failed. Parts, repair services and DIY (Do It Yourself) "How-To" guides are available on the 'Net. eBay and Google are your friends.....

It is likely that the display i defective and needs replacing but it could be the logic board. If the logic board then having Apple exchange it for this price i likely the best bet.
