Posted on August 12, 2008 by Hung Bui

I just got a white / blank screen on my Ipod Nano .. a bit nervous and I actually don’t know how to restart it :-(

Thanks to www.zolved.com helped me sort it out.

How to restart your Ipod:

Turn the Hold switch on, then back to off.
Press and hold the Menu and Select buttons for 10 seconds (until the Apple logo appears).
You may need to repeat the reset several times.

If the reset doesn’t help, then put the iPod into forced disk mode.
