I have an Ipod touch that i have had for 2 years now. I only used it for one month when all of a sudden it decided to not turn on anymore.

If the iPod has been sitting on the side for any length of time, the battery will have drained down. At that time, when the iPod is plugged into power, it can take several minutes (possibly up to half-an-hour) before you see any reaction from the iPod.

Therefore, if it has been left for a while, plug it in and wait. Does it eventually respond? If not, try a Reset.
