    I've been struggling with mine all morning with the same issue.

     

    Mine would not wake up from sleep (will just white screen).

     

    It will boot using a hard reset (i.e. the power button and volume down button being held down for 8 or so secs). I restored and synced it multiple times but it still has a problem waking up and just just goes to white screen.

     

    I saw a post suggesting a loose connection which I had my doubts about (as it will wake with hard reset) - bit BINGO! If I wake mine (with index finger) whilst applying pressure to the top of the screen area (with my thumbs) it will wake up. When I become frustrated enough I'll take it apart and see if something has become loose.

     

    Hope this helps.

    talisker24 Thank you so much. The pressure worked to get rid of the white screen. It was then stuck on the apple logo until I connected it to iTunes did a restore. It reset everything to factory settings but at least it worked. I can always add music back on now that is runs.
