Error 1611-iTouch will not restore

Hello,

About a year ago I was listening to music on my iPod Touch (Generation 3) and I fell asleep. I proceeded to wake up the next morning, only to find my iPod was in recovery mode. I thought "Oh well, no big deal, I'll just restore it on my laptop." However, the restore would NOT work. I then would wait for the regular iTunes updates, and try again. Finally, one software update worked, and my iPod went through the "new iPod setup", in which you configure Wi-Fi and other settings ON THE ITOUCH, but I had two problems:

One-my home button didn’t work.

Two-when I would power off my device, it goes back into recovery mode

This process was repeatable.

After the most recent software update, my iPod Touch Gen. 3 will not even show any progress in on the iTouch screen. It makes sounds like a USB device is being plugged in 2-3 times, and then gives me an error message.(1611) I am very annoyed, as the iPod has only worked for about a year before breaking. Any help would be amazing.

-Ryan😐

iPod touch, Windows Vista

There have been some problems accessing pages on the Apple web site. If the hyperlink gives you a "We're sorry" message, try again.

Why? Apple is much cheaper, and you get a replacement iPod:

That's the part I don't understand. You have lost faith in Apple... why? Because you got an error message? If I had a nickel for every time I got an error message, I could pay your iPod replacement fee for you.

Take it to Apple, and you can at least have them look at it, but don't have to get it replaced if you don't want to. Who knows, maybe you don't need a replacement?
