White screen after installing on 2nd gen iPod

<< < (2/3) > >>

nls:
This may be a longshot but try creating a file named "config.cfg" inside the .rockbox dir on your ipod.
Inside that file, put a line like this "contrast: 63" try starting it again, this sets max contrast which may be too dark even so if the display is now too dark, set a lower value.

edit: a way to see if rockbox is working at all would be to install a voicefile http://www.rockbox.org/daily.shtml and listen for voice feedback.

Wondering if there was any resoulution to this. I'm having the exact problem.

Tried setting contrast but no luck. Can't get voice file at the moment, fetch returns forbidden.

Scren boots to white, backlight goe out. touch whell and backlight turns on. Nothing else.

It looks like the server just came back recently.  You can try getting a voice file again.

It seems like a bug report is in order too.

morris:
thanks.
I am able to hear the voice prompts but still no display.

I have opened bug # 9610

You might want to try an old build. My second gen is running currently with r18892 fron Oct 26 2008, with contrast = 44.

I'll try a recent build and see if it suffers in the same way described above.

Edit:
The problem doesnt appear to be build related. Mine is still working fine with R19360, a build from Dec 7 2008. I also removed the bootloader, and re-installed the current boot loader using Rockbox util - the iPod still works fine.
