My iPod won't turn on. I had the battery fully charged but when I tried to turn it on it wouldn't turn on. So I thought it was dead and so I put it in the charger and it's been charging for 2 1/2 hours and it still won't turn on.

Try holding down the home and power buttons until you see the Apple logo appear.

Try the remaining items of:

- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on

- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- 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.
