My iPod Touch 2nd Generation won't turn on anymore

Start with a simple Reset:

Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears (ignore the Slide to Power Off option that shows up first).

If that doesn't help move on to Restore and then to Recovery.

Recovery mode restore if needed:

I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I TURN MY IPOD TOUCH 2ND G ON AND IT SHOWS THE BATERY WITH NO BATTERY LEFT IN IT. IT THEN TURNS OFF AND GOES TO THE APPLE BUTTON AND STAYS THERE. IT WONT TURN ON AND THE APPLE BUTTON IS THE ONLY THING I SEE. WHEN I PLUG IT INTO MY MACBOOKPRO THE NAME OF THE IPOD WONT SHOW UP ON THE SIDE! PLEEEEASE HELP!

i have had the exact same problem.

what you should try and do it plug it into your computer with apple ipod cable.

open up itunes and then press the home and the button on the top

this should lead the screen to show an image of the usb cable and the itunes image

if this happens, take out the usb from your computer and reinsert it.

the computer should load it and on itunes your itouch should load.

A message on the screen should show up and say Itunes has detected an ipod in recovery mode. You must restore this ipod before it can be used with iTunes.

if this message appears click ok.

then click restore. Hopefully all should work again - as it has for most people

however, a message saying: The ipod software update server could not be contacted.

This is what has happened to mine, so i think you need to take it into a shop and see if they can fix it. it may not cost to much money, and you may as well see if they can do anything. Hope this helped 🙂
