ipod touch with the backlight problem using 1.1.5, restored to factory settings, reset everything through the ipod nothing worked. I picked this ipod up like this. I can tap the sleep/wake button and get it to come on for a sec, and also if I go to brightness and turn all the way down and move about 10-15% up it flashes for a quick second again, If anyone has anything let me know I would be in debt to you thanks

you most likely have a hard ware problem which i have heard of before and most likely will need to be replaced as long as it is in warranty

- the actually light might be broken and firmware wont fix that. firmware is the software used to control the hardware. If you have tired all the software restores and resets and it still is the same result you have done everything you can. apple's hands are the last option

The iPod Touch (8GB, purchased in May '08) powers up, but the screen is blank. Charging the unit does not help, using the restore function does not help. Do you know what causes this?

After synchronising not all album artworks show on the iPod Touch even though they are there in iTunes. Any idea why. Software version 3.1.2 installed.
