ipod touch 5 has a frozen black screen...

So my ipod suddenly decided to stop working... I was literally just using it a couple of hours ago and it was perfectly fine. My ipod has a black screen and won't turn on at all. I've tried connecting it to my computer, but it won't be recognized. No sounds are made when I plug in the charger. I know it's not a battery problem because it was at about 80% when I used it last. Since it won't connect to the computer, I can't do recboot or tenorshare or anything. Also, home button is stuck pressed in. I've been using AT. I don't have a warranty and I don't have enough money to take it to Apple. Any advice on what I should do? I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.

iPod touch, iOS 9.0.2

Try:

- 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.

I've tried all the links that you have shared already and I can't use any of that information at all. And like I said in my question, I can't take it to Apple since I don't have the money for it. Thanks for replying quickly, though.

You are out of luck. You iPod has to be repaired or replaced.
