Wondered if you could please advise me here.
I have a 2n Gen ipod touch that had a cracked screen.

I replaced the screen and now I have a white screen that comes on for about 6 seconds then goes dead until I press the home or power button.

I have tried several of the suggestions I have already read such as restore, making absolutely sure the connectors are clean and pressed in correctly + connecting to itunes. (By the way itunes recognised the ipod after a while and did a restore)

At the moment I'm letting the battery dry up but It's going to take some time as this white screen only stays on a few seconds as I mentioned.

Just wondering if an ipods lcd will display what it should without the screen connected?
Or would that produce a white screen? (Perhaps new screen faulty?)
Any other ideas?
When This battery eventually dies should I connect it to itunes first or?

Absolutely and advice greatly appreciated!

Thanks
Chris
 
Try to had reboot the device(Hold power and home button for bout 15 seconds)

It may also be a faulty LCD.
