I had the same problem. My screen was completely dead. Try this:

1. connect your iPod to your computer

2. open iTunes

3, while your iPod is still connected, do a restart:press the top button and the menu button at the same time and hold them down. Hopefully, your iPod will reboot. Good luck!

I tried this just now on my stone-cold-dead Nano...and it worked! Many thanks!

I'd give you points, if I could figure out how to do it...

Hi braden85, thank you so mucho for your tip. It worked, but I can't figure out why on the earth did that happen!!??

Many thanks again!

Dear noraperl,

regarding dead iPod nano, what is the menu button? Is it on i-tunes? I have held down the sleep/wake button and volume down button as apple suggest in their trouble shooting guide, but this just seems to incorrectly eject the iPod.

Thanks in advance,
