My iPod 5th generation won't turn on or connect with my laptop but the home button is broken

Okay... so I have an iPod 5th gen and it won't turn on nor will it connect to my laptop. But I've been using the on screen home button, so how do I fix it?

iPod touch, iOS 9.1, iOS 9.1 I thinl, I'm not sure.

See whether any of these particularly the not responding article helps resolve your issue.


I will point out that many third-party repair shops can fix the home button without replacing major parts, which may allow a reset.


Is there anything on the screen?


What was the last thing you did before this happened? (OS update? or something apple frowns upon? (unlikely... just checking.)
