How can I fix my iPod touch 4th generation screen sensor?

I dropped my iPod too and half of the screen wouldn't sense anything (occasionally the sensors wouldn't work at all). I tried turning it off and on again and even resetting it, but nothing worked. Once I got my iPhone I just threw the iPod in a drawer and forgot about it until recently when I found it again. Anyway, whenever the screen starts jumping around or the touch just wont work, I just drop it on the table or slap it against the palm of my hand and that seems to help for a little while.

When you dropped your iPod you more than likely cracked the touch LCD so do as she had stated by checking that everythingis plugged in but be carful because the plugs on the motherboard are very fragile but if everything is plugged in then you need to replace the touch LCD because mine had the sameproblem everything worked exept the touch because I cracked the touch part

Not so fast. iPods just like any other computer system have the tendency to freeze up. If this is the problem, the solution is just to power cycle it. Oldturkey03 was on the right track. However, if your screen freezes, you will not be able to 'slide to power off'. Don't worry though, there is another way. Hold down the power/sleep/wake button on top and then also press and hold the round bottom button. This is the same way you force off the older non-touch screen iPods. The combination of both buttons being pressed and held for some time will force the iPod to shut down. Then just wait 10 seconds or so and hold power/start/wake button again to power it back on. Once it is back on, the touch screen should work again.

My iPod suddenly wouldn't let me press the zero or the back butten when typing in my password

I am having the same problems too with the screen sensor. I have a ipod that is a five generation. I've tried resetting the ipod but that doesn't change a thing. I also pressed the sleep/ wake button and when the button said " slide to power off" I couldn't because the screen sensor isn't working. I was so desperate I even tried wiping off the screen with a cloth but that didn't work. Please if you have any other ways to fix this can you comment ? Thanks....

My Itouch screen was mostly unresponsive after I accidentally dropped it. I pressed the screen with my thumb fairly hard all round the edges and it was fine after that. Simple!

Kayla ,

'I've had the same problem maybe it is time to get something new or eve just replace the screen but I highly disagree that you should keep restarting it because it is just wasting you time so you should just go ahead and buy something new or take it apart and make sure everything is together

my ipod is broken i want to have a new ipod she want to know the price of my ipod
