Q: can i get money for an ipod touch that doesnt work

Apple will give you a 10% recycling discount if you turn in an old iPod when you purchase a new one.

  Apple - Recycling Program for iPod and Mobile Phones

Otherwise try Craig's list or similar.

A non-working device that has been taken apart is not worth much

    You can simply put it into an EcoATM! They can estimate the value and give you your moneys worth. Hope I helped! Also, you may have a 5th gen iPod, because iOS 7 does not run on iPod Touch 4...
