Home button does not wake up iPod Touch

Hey all,
After the iPod screen turns off automatically after the preset idle time, pressing the "Home" button does not wake the device up from the first press; on some occasions it has to be pressed twice before the "Slide to unlock" screen appears.
This is intermittent and I can't pin down how to accurately reproduce the issue, but it seems to happen randomly. I have never experienced an issue where the "Home" button didn't work when pressed during normal operation, so I don't think it is a hardware issue with the button itself. Note that I had this issue before updating the device to 3.1.2 as well.
I have auto-lock set to 3 minutes, with Passcode Lock on.
The device is the 32GB model MC008C, updated with the latest 3.1.2 (7D11) OS.
Cheers

sorry to reply and intrude here but i cannot for the love of god find he new thread button. (maybe a mod will move me please)
I recently restored my iPod touch and i didn't really watch the restore. I know the loading bar on ipod was nearly at end. Anyways, 10-15mins later i go to use my ipod and clicking the home button nothing displays.
I then try to turn on, yet nothing. So googling, i left the battery to completely drain if there is any.
I plug my ipod into my computer and nopthing happens, it does not wake up(turn on) or even charge. I have tried an Iphone wall charger, yet no response from my ipod touch as well.
So i kept googling and i found out about some DFU mode, there was lots of different combinations on the web, i tried them all, yet my ipod does not respon. No noises, notifications or anything in itunes(if itunes closed, does not open up!)
It has now been a good few days since it stopped working, and i cannot think is there anymore to do. It is still in warranty for a few months.
Only problem is, i do not think i;m entitled to phone support, and the nearest genius for me is hours away.
PS: my iPod touch was restored to version 3.2 (latest version if thats wrong <!-- )
I have itunes 9.1
Running windows 7 rc
I have tried my ipod also on the following:
My dual boot vista, another computer with vista and a Mac Pro.
Can anyone suggest anything or help me please?
Thanks in advance,
Malcom

  • The home button does not respond. Help

    My iPhone 4's home button does not always respond. Sometimes I will have to turn it off and on. I have tried doing a restart. It will be ok for a few hours but then will not respond again.

    Try the standard fixes:
    - Reset. Nothing was lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.

  • Is there a size difference between iPod Touch 1G home button and other versions of iPod Touch?

    I have an old iPod Touch 1G home button that got stuck. So I bought a new home button to replace it and I'm having trouble fitting it in the hole that I'm replacing. I'm not sure the new button I have is for iPod Touch 1G or for other iTouch versions.
    Does anyone know where I find a video how to replace iPod Touch home button and where can buy the home button if the button I have is not for 1G?

    My iPhone 4 worked fine last night.  When I woke up this morning, it had shut off and will not turn back on.  I looked up the HOME+SLEEP key solutions, but my home button does not work.  Any suggestions?

    Try a reset: Hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go.
