The home button and sleep button have both been pressed, but the iPod 3 still does not turn on, what should I do?

This iPod Touch, 3rd generation, has been plugged to both the computer, and to the wall socket, but it will not turn on even when the reset buttons are pressed. What should I do?

Try:

- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on

- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.

- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
