my ipod has done nothing but stay dark no matter what chord,cable,pc,adapter i try.nothing will happen when i try to reset it, what should i do ?????
(response discussion to last discussion)
iPod touch (4th generation), iOS 5.1, remains black screen, like its dead
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely. Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

In that case, there is certainly nothing that I can do for you. Call Apple.
They'll trade in for 10% discount.

If it's not doing anything when you plug a Cable into it. Check in the port for lint buildup.
USe a Flashlight and a magnifying glass. clean it out with a tooth pick or take it to a repair shop to have it cleaned
You are responding to a 3 year old post....
