ipod touch 4G - doesn´t turn on anymore!

My Ipod no longer turns on or is recognized by the computer (in all usb ports and in more than one computer) and I´m not able to charge it. I tried to restart it to no avail.
Anyone knows what is going on? Some advice?

Ipod touch 4G 32Gb, Windows Vista

Last night my iPod Touch 4g was working fine and was fully charged. After i finished watching a movie on my TV I clicked the home botton to access my iPod... The screen flashed white then completely shut off. I have tried pushing the home key & on/off button for a few mins while plugged in the labtop/wall/ipod doc an the screen stays black, the only thing that does happen when plugged into labtop is it shows the ipod is connected on cp but nothing happens on ipod screen..., I left it charging for 8 hours an ipod is warm like its charging but wont turn on. It is only 1 month old... I have no clue what to do and am freaking out, I dont want to replace with a new one cause of important info on it. I need help........, any suggestions???

HELP!!

i have the new ipod touch 4G, 8GB and last night it just randomly turned off and would not turn back on, then i tried that thing where you hold down the home button and the lock button and that worked, it turned onto the apple screen with the apple on it then after a few seconds it went to the screen that has a cable with an arrow pointing up to itunes, so i went on the laptop with itunes and plugged it in and a little window thing popped up and said an ipod was detected but could not be viewed or opened and that i have to restore the whole ipod! i clicked restore and it said that if i restore it, it will go into factory mode, which means i will loose EVERYTHING!! i went searching on youtube and google trying to find other ways to help me but they all dont work. i really dont want to have to restore it all... please please can you help me 😟😟

My computer won't download itunes, and when i had this problem, i freaked! plus, my brother has my cord so i had none. the battery had died while my other brother was playing with it and i got soo worried. it took me awhile but i finally plugged my itouch4g into my ihome and held the power and home buttons. when i turned it on, it actually had a nearly full battery! so glad it worked!
