Hi iKanji,

Is the screen stuck at a sync prompt? As I've had this happen with my iPhone many times in the past.... It's a strange predicament that you can get into and I don't now the cause...

At times I try to connect and disconnect my device from the dock connector until the device's OS realizes that one of the jobs are stuck and it reboots that prompt. Then all is fine.

Again this issue was with my iPhone and it was a lot worse before the 3.1.2 update. It happens very rarely now, and does come back to life once the OS of the device realizes that this is occuring. Until then, the screen and power buttons are totally useless..

Very frustrating, but this is the only solution I've seen work for me.

Good luck and let me know if this helps.

HAve you tried connecting it to iTunes and disconnecting it multiple times?

In my experience, if you can sync the device it is still operational... And the multiple time connect/disconnect will sometimes cause the ipod/iphones OS to recognize the hung service and restart it so its operational.

Additionally if that doesn't solve it, but it will sync you can always try doing a restore, that should cause the device to respond.

Also some times if you press the home button, or what not a few different times with the power and other buttons you can get it to wake up as well.
