iPod nano 6th generation won't come on and gets hot while recharging. What do I do to restore it?

My Ipod won't turn on and when I try to charge it it gets hot. Is there a fix for this problem. I tried everything I could find in troubleshooting.

Thanks, I have to call back 800 692-7752 - the hours are 6AM - 6PM Pacific Time. The recorded message reccommends the site https://expresslane.apple.com - you need your device serial number for this. It's a shame Apple placed this number under the tiny clip on the 6th Generation Nano. (!!!)

Looks like I'll be waiting for the help line to open :/

I would recommend throwing it away and finding a real music device. Mine did the same thing but I can't get the serial number unless I take it apart to remove the belt clip so it's really going to be dead by that time. Don't know what they charge if I send it in but at this point, I think I am going to cut my losses and call myself "educated" by the experience.
