Q: My iPod is COMPLETELY UNRESPONSIVE.

My iPod won't turn on, thus preventing it from being turned off; it won't charge; and my computer can't even see it when it's plugged-in, and I know the cord works because I tested it with my brother's iPod. Here are the details:

  • Gen 5 iPod, just under two years old.
  • 32 GB; other stats I would provide if I could turn it on (but then I wouldn't be writing this).
  • Uses iOS 7.<something> (the latest one as of 6/21/15).

I suspect that some sort of impact my iPod had is responsible for its condition. I'm fairly certain it had bang or two while I was out berry-picking before I noticed that my iPod wasn't working. That would have been from a water bottle bumping into my iPod while it was in my pocket. Since I attach my (metal) water bottle to one of my belt loops, it can move around and bump things in my pocket.

 

Any ideas on how fix this?

iPod touch, iOS 7.1.2, 5th Generation
