I just bought an ipod touch on ebay and it has a backlight issue. This was described when i bid on it. What wasn't is that the sleep/wake button does not work. It will not respond at all. Can't do a restore on it by pushing and home and sleep button because it just doesn't work. If you have any suggestions on how to fix it I'm open for anything. Thanks
Connect to itunes and do a restore from there. Assuming you can switch the thing on! Mine is the same, It started with the wake button only working sometimes, then by itself and eventually squeezing the case near the wake button would do the trick. I did try to fix but without success. These are very fiddly and the wake button disconnects from the main board when the case is opened making it very hard to test.
When not in use I keep the brightness at minimum and set the auto lock to never.
Good luck

Well this morning I went to turn on my ipod touch(as you do) and to my surprise nothing happened! I tried all 2 buttons,holding them down, and together etc. I knew the battery wasn't flat oranything. So I plugged it into itunes, and kept trying to turn it on.About 2 minutes later it finally booted up (to my enormous relief) andworked perfectly. Then later in the day after not using it for a few hours, I tried towake it from sleep, but it did the same thing and wouldn't turn backon. It has since done it yet again after turning it off myself, and not turning back on. I could try reseting it all and wiping it and starting it again to tryand sort it out, but I just wanted to know if anyone else has had thesame problem?
