How to power on the 5th generation of Ipod without the use of a home button

Hi, I need help with powering on my Ipod.

For some odd reason, it doesn't want to turn on anymore, even though it was working perfectly fine an hour earlier. I don't know why it stopped working, but it's difficult to do anything because my home button doesn't function properly and hasn't been for the past couple months. Please help.. :c

iPod touch, iOS 8.1

Then yo have a hardware problem besides the Home button.

Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $99 for a 16 GB 5G and $149 for the other 5Gs. They do not fix yours.

You can do it at an Apple store by making an appointment:

Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar

or send it in to Apple. See:

Service Answer Center - iPod


A third-party place like the following maybe less. Google for more.
