    Howdy sld1106,

     

    It sounds like you are able to see the screen but it is otherwise unresponsive. I would start by resetting the iPod with this article:

     

    Reset your iPod - Apple Support

     

    That should get your iPod back and working. If not let the device charge for 30 minutes, and then try turning it on normally first, and reset it one more time if it doesn't turn on.

     

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

    Regards,

    Sterling
