2nd generation ipod touch wont turn on. The screen blinks but the apple icon doesn't show up.

I have a 2nd generation ipod touch that I got from a friend. I drove all the way across the country (three day trip) and it worked perfectly. It was in a hard case and has no damages to it. I haven't dropped it or gotten water on it at all. But for some reason the screen wont turn on. It blinks on and off when I plug it into the charger (and theres like a soft clicking noise that I hear when the screen blinks) but the apple logo wont show up. And it doesn't seem to actually be charging. It doesn't seem to actually die all the way either.... It's weird.. but I know no damages have happened to it so I don't know what to do. I've tried to reset it (pressing and holding the home and power buttons) but that wont work either. Help?

Try:                                               
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- 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.

    - Resetting the iPod:

  • IPod Touch wont startup past the Apple

    Today I was driving and listening to my Ipod with a Belkin FM transmitter, the same one I have been using for years. Well half way through my ride, my ipod just cut off. I have one of the first ipod touches that came out and when I press the button on the front nothing happens. The only response I get from my ipod is when i hold the top button for 3-5 seconds the black screen with the apple in the middle comes up for about 5-7 seconds then turns off again. What do I need to do?

    Hi,
    Try restoring the iPod touch from recovery mode, as shown here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808.

  • My Ipod touch wont turn on and screen just flashes black?

    my ipod touch hasnt been working lately. I was at the beach and the battery died but we didnt have any chargers so i waited untill we got home to plug it in. When i did the ipod got really messed up and it would just turn off when i unplugged it. So i tried to restore it and when it started it said preparing ipod for restore and the screen would just turn off and start flashing a black screen. Ive tried regular and DFU restore but nothing works. Does anyone know how to fix this or if it is truely broken?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    It is very likely that you will have to restore the iPod.

  • 1st Gen. iPod touch wont turn on. Home button doesn't work. Can't reset.

    Hi there.  My 1st generation iPod touch wont turn on.  The battery has drained completely, and the few times this happened in the past, I could just reset it by holding the home and top buttons, the iPod would turn on, I could plug it in, and then it would charge--no problems.  However, now the home button does not work, so I cannot reset it. When I plug it in to the charger, the Apple logo appears for about 20 seconds, then disappears.  Also, if I hold the top button for about 2 seconds, the same thing happens (Apple logo appears for about 20 seconds, then disappears).  So, it doesn't turn on, wont reset due to the home button not working, and can't connect to the computer or iTunes.  However, it still has some life in it because the Apple logo always appears when it's plugged in or when I hold the top button.  Can anybody help?  Thanks.
