iPod Touch won't turn on !!

Im on ipod touch 4th gen. was at home and it stopped HELD THE POWER BUTTON and the HOME BUTTON TOGETHER on for 7 secs and it worked .

I LOVE YOU THANKS SOO MUCH!

Hi, my iPod Touch 4th generation 8gb did this today, and I still can't get it to turn on. I have been reading this forum, and people are saying to hold the Lock and Home button for over 30 seconds. I have tried that, plugged into the pc and the wall, and by itself, and nothing happens. I plugged it in and still nothing happens. It died when I had a full battery to. I can't do the home and lock button because the home button is broken and doesn't work, so does anybody have an idea to how to get it working again?

Thank you so much for the dfu mode info (power butten 4 secs then power and home 10 secs then home butten 15secs then restore it), Eghegh12! My daughter's iPod is only 3 days old and I was dreading having to go to the store for help (45 minute drive...). It looks like it is working - it is at least recognized again on the computer and downloading the software. Phew... hope it works and double thumbs up for this info!

You are a freaking genius who just saved my ipods life

what advice works? because its happening to me too...😐😢 frenchie0601? i need help

I have the same problem, the power button is broken...I have no idea how to get it started unless I let the battery discharge and then connect it to the pc.

Let the battery drain all the way and plug it back into the computer. Or you can try to connect it to the pc and restore it. Only two options that I can think of.

I tried everything that everyone said but my itouch 4 still won't turn on or charge

Same happened with me, except it is an 8gb. My nearly a year old Ipod was gitching and i turned it off now keep in mind that it was on full battery, it wouldn't turn back on 2hours later, i got home and plugged it into a wall charger, the charge symbol flashed, so i kept it on, for 2 weeks, nothing it wouldn't charge. WHAT DO I DO!?!?!?! I sent apple a complaint but nothing came back.

Was this device jailbroken? I need an answer so I can give the right method to try.

I also need to know if the device is discoverable with the computer and/or iTunes.

hold the power button and home button for a couple of seconds then the apple logo will come on

I have a 2nd gen iPod Touch, 8gb with the same problem. The lock/sleep button is broken, I tried plugging it in my computer then Windows tells me the device has malfunctioned and it doesn't show up in iTunes. The battery was full when this occurred and when I plug my iPod in to charge the screen doesn't switch on at all. Please help me.

I would tell you how to put it into defunct mode, but that won't work due to the damaged sleep/wake button. Is the device stuck in a black screen?

Yes, it is.
