iPod Touch won't turn on !!

I have an 8 GB iPod Touch and it does not turn on, it was working and it just went off and won't turn on. I tried to connect it to iTunes but it is still the same.

Does anyone know what's wrong and how do you fix it ?

Windows Vista, iOS 4

Thanks for the solution, it worked for me. For those of you who have tried it and it didn't work, Make sure you hold down the buttons until it turns on. It takes at least 30 seconds for it to turn on :o)

yeah my ipod had a tiny bit of charge, then when it ran out, it died. but when i charged it, it wouldn't turn back on to show that it was charging, when i used a wall charger and the computer connector. but i did that thing where you hold the HOME and LOCK button for a few seconds and it worked:)
problem is, my whole ipod has been reset, so i have to put all the music and apps back on :/

Yes, I'm replying to my own post! I called Apple and they gave me instructions for sending it back. They agreed that I had a defective unit. Sent me a replacement, no charge. So far, looking good and battery lasts a lot longer. Wish I had done this earlier. But, the "new" replacement is running the older software. We'll see what happens when I apply the upgrade.

The same thing happened to me! I put my iPod touch 4th gen down on the couch, picked up the remote to search for a movie on TV, and then when I picked the iPod back up, it was dead! I've only had it 5 days.

Thanks, everybody, for the suggestion of the power/home buttons! I'm back in business....not to make sure I have all my pics and videos on the computer in case this happens again.

I had mine for 4 months and yesterday I was playing a game on my iPod 32go 3th generation when the battery went flat. I pluged it on 2 computers with 2 different threads (cables) and I also pluged it with 2 different 'wall plugs' and it didn't work... When I pluged it on my computer, iTunes didn't recognized my iPod... is my iPod 'dead'? (sorry for my english, that's not my first language).
