My IPod was charging and when i went to go use it. the screen was so dark i couldn't see, than it dissapeared. I assumed it has shut down. Now i can't even turn it back on. I tried charging it, connecting to CPU/Laptop, and i cant reset my IPod because my home button is broken. Is my IPod broken? Please Apple, i had it for only 1-2 years. It's the only thing i use to watch and play apps.!
IF the home button is broken, you need to take it to an Apple store genius bar for replacement. The fix is a reboot but that requires use of both the power and home buttons.
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
Ignore the reset and when it says plae the iPod in recovery mode
Place the iPod in recovery mode using one of these programs:

If necessary:
Download QTMLClient.dll & iTunesMobileDevice.dll for RecBoot
and
RecBoot may have problems on 64X windows, then try:
Tenorshare ReiBoot – Enter & Exit iPhone, iPad, iPod Recovery Mode with a Single Click
For MAC or PC
The Firmware Umbrella - TinyUmbrella
Installs blootware on PC too
- 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 another cable
- 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.
My IPod wont turn on once it suddenly turned off!
