My iPod touch 5th gen just turned off today and I can't turn it back on.

Today, after I got off work and got in my car, my iPod wouldn't turn on. I was using it 15 min prior and I didn't notice it acting up or anything, I just finished listening to a song before I clocked out of work. Anyways, I tried plugging it in to see if I could get a reaction, but nothing has happened. I doesn't even warm up like it would if it were charging. Does anybody have an idea or answer? I really hope that my iPod didn't fry out, I use it all the time at the library where I work.

Have you tried holding both the power button and the home button at the same time for at least ten seconds? And if this doesn't work, can you try it while the iPod is plugged into power?

Next, 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.
