My iPod 5th Gen won't turn on.

My iPod 5th generation won't turn on no matter how many times I tried to do so.

It worked perfectly fine yesterday and when I woke up, all I got is a black screen.

Is there any way to turn it back on? 😟

Have you tried to force a restart? Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. If you see the silver apple, let go and let it reboot.


You could also hook it up to your computer and see if it recognizes it. That's one way to diagnose if the insides are working ok and there's just something with the screen.
