White screen and beeps

Try This next time ....
Not all, but many 5G iPod owners have had issues with the latest iPod updates, I had this problem myself a day ago & was almost ready to send it in for a replacement, some HAVE sent theirs in. Anyways, after updating the iPod the iPod no longer works!! All you get is a blank white screen (White Screen Of Death), 3 beeping tones and you hear the hard drive click. Simply resetting the iPod will do nothing, but get you another three beeps & a click. But to resolve this issue do the following, this had worked for me as well as others...

Extended Reset
1) Move the LOCK to the "ON" position.
2) Move it back to the "OFF" position.
3) Hold the "Centre" button then hold down the "MENU" button until you hear the harddrive make the "click" noise.
4) As soon as you hear the drive "click" press and hold the "Centre" button then press & hold the Play/Pause button, you should then see the Apple Logo" like normal and it should then start up like with no problem.

There is a panel behind the LCd screen and its screwed.. Its covered under warrantynso use it while you still have it..

I've taken a screen from a faulty 4GB nano which just shows the iPod support error sign and put it in an 8GB nano which shows a white screen and beeps twice. Restores with iTunes fine. Even put the screen back again to check and it works fine, so it may not be that the screen's dead!

All it did was make my music playable again and thats all i wanted ! thank god!
