Want Vertical Music

my ipods screen turns white and when i tryed to fix it, it wouldn't let me listen to music what do i do?
i have had my 2gb ipod nano for about 1 year and 7 months, and usually i would just press menu and the ok button and it would work but now that won't work and it'll turn blank white and it will have vertical lines across the screen. I don't want to get a new ipod unless there are no other solutions to my problem. HELP PLEASE
umm try waiting for it to die (the battery) and then re charge it that's what i do and it works- but you may need a new one.. sorry
