Could not connect to the device. can anyone help me fix this problem?

I cannot go into DFU mode or recovery with my broken Sleep button.

Try:

- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on

When it says place the iPod in recovery mode

Place the iPod in recovery mode using one of these programs:

- 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.
