I accidentally dropped my ipod nano 4th generation on my ceramic floor and the screen went White :( it doesn’t show anything. Tried power off many times, but the Apple Logo doesn’t show? I even took all my songs off and saved to a file on my desktop then restored it to factory setting and still nothing is happening?? It’s still White Screen???
With it hitting a hard surface, it sounds like the ribbon cable for the LCD may have come loose. If the LCD was broken, you’d probably see lines across it or black patches. The storage seems to be working and so the iPod itself is good. If you’ve already completed a hard reset with iTunes, try this before possibly opening it up:
“Toggle the Hold switch on and off. (Slide it to Hold, then turn it off again.) 2. Now press and hold the Menu and Select buttons until the Apple logo appears, which may take about 6 to 10 seconds.”
It sounds like you damaged the LCD and need to replace it. I found the part at idemigods.com they have the LCD in stock it about 21 dollars, they also have a battery in stock for 10 dollars if you would like to replace it while you are in there. I hope this helps
