Q: can't start my ipod touch 2G, need help?

Hello,

You could try restarting the iPod. While its plugged in, Hold down the power button and the home button at the same time for 10 seconds. The iPod should reboot and start up again.

Good Luck!

- 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.
