IPod Touch 2G 8GB wont turn on or connect to computer. Device Malfunctioned

My iPod Touch 2G 8GB will not turn on or connect to my (or any other) computer or accesory. I'm not sure but I believe my USB cord may have been damp from a recent flood.
When I plug it into a Vista computer, a popup reads "One of the usb devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned and windows does not recognize it"
Do you have any idea what might have happened? I'm not positive the cord was damp, but if it was, does anyone know what it could have done to my ipod and is it salvageable?
I tried the standard home/power reset and tried plugging it into various accessories (car stereo, alarm clock dock) but nothing worked. THe screen is just black and hasnt changed at all.
If anyone can offer any input, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks

  • Ipod touch 4G 8gb wont turn on

    ive only had the ipod for a month  and it turned off randomly and it wont turn back on (its battery was about 90% charged) I've tried everything. I plugged it into the computer and it said it could not sinc it.
    I got a best buy warranty so I'm going to bring it in tomorrow 

    If it is within 30 days they will just exchange it if it is defective. If it is past 30 days, they will rapid exchange it for a refurbished model.

    Error 1604
    This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
    If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
    Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode,put it into Recovery Mode.
    Restore and wait for the error.
    When prompted, click OK.
    Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
    The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
    Try to restore again.
    If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.

    - 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.

  • My ipod touch 4th generation wont turn on

    Ok my Ipod 4th generation wont turn on at all ive tried holding the buttons connecting it to Itunes (which by the way says nothings connected) and nothing is happening at all. My battery was halfway charged and after I put my ipod to sleep it wouldnt turn on anymore. Can anybody help me please?

    Try putting it in DFU mode. Here is how to put it in dfu mode:
    1. First, Open up iTunes, plug in your iPod Touch/iPhone to the CPU's USB port. Turn on your CPU's speaker and make sure it is loud enough that you can hear it.
    2. Hold down the Home button (top left for iPod Touch and top right for the iPhone with the screen facing you) and the Power button (located on the front bottom of your iPod Touch/iPhone) simutaneously, until the screen goes black and the device turns off. (past the red slider/slide to power off screen)
    3. Now let go of the Power button, but continue to hold the Home button. Your iPod Touch/iPhone should have turned off and the screen should not be on.
    4. After around ~10-20 seconds, you will hear a noise (beep/ding) from your CPU as if it had just recognized a new hardware device, now iTunes should recognize it in DFU mode.
    5. After iTunes recognizes the iPod Touch/iPhone, let go of the Home button otherwise it will go into recovery mode and you will have to do the entire DFU process over again.
    6. You will know when you have put your iPod Touch/iPhone correctly into DFU mode when the display is blank and that you do not have anything on your device.
    And you are done, now you can install any iPod Touch/iPhone firmware on to your device via the iTunes SHIFT recovery method.
