iPod touch, iOS 8.3
If you have the problem after restoring to factory settings/new iPod via iTunes:
Do you mean you can see the screen working if you hold up the screen to the light?
If yes then:
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $99 FOr 16 GB 5G and $149 for the other 5GS. They do not fix yours.
A third-party place like the following maybe less. Google for more.
iPhone Repair, Service & Parts: iPod Touch, iPad, MacBook Pro Screens
Replace the screen yourself if you are up to it
Otherwise try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
