My ipod touch 2nd gen 8 gb won't boot! (I did hold home and power)

So my ipod touch 2nd gen 8 gb won't boot. It never really fell on the ground it was not jailbroken and I had it for almost a year. Yes I have googled it, yes I holded home and power button at the same time, basically did almost everything possible. I'm thinking it's the battery but might be something else.

Suggest you try a reset a few more times.

Hold the Sleep and Home button down until you see the Apple logo.

You may have one of these problems:

1. Dead battery

2. Bad cable

3. Bad charger

4. Dirty docking port

I guess number 1, because when I insert my ipod in my docking station I hear my ipod make noise when I listen very clearly so yeah. Do you know how to fix a dead battery? Or do you have to replace the battery?

Ok, thanks for your help!

To bad it's so pricey. Guess I won't let it repair, I'm sure I can live without.

Try:

- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on

- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings

- 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.

- Try on another computer

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