Have you tried to reset your iPod Touch?

*If you can't turn your iPhone or iPod touch on or off*
You may need to reset. Important: Only reset your iPhone or iPod touch if it is no longer responding. To reset, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

See this Apple document:

hold the home button and power button until the screen goes black then hold the home button until the connect to itunes screen pops up. Then you should be able to restore your ipod
