Dead i-touch - will not start

My i-pod touch will not start; I have tried the on/menu button by itself and in combination with the button at the top to reset, but nothing happens.
If i plug the charger in or connect it to i-tunes the apple logo appears for about ten seconds and the screen then goes blank - any ideas on what the problem is? (i-tunes does not recognise that the touch has been connected)
I got a usb logo pointing to something else yesterday, but this has not reappeared.

I had the exact same problem with mine. Was hoping to see a response posted here but since I didn't I took mine to the Apple store where they ended up replacing it. Not exactly the solution I was hoping for, but at least I have an operating Ipod again.

Ipod touch will not start at all

ipod touch will not start at all...I have tried everything...it got really hot and then went dead

What does: " will not boot at all, it is blocked " mean?

I pod touch will not start or reset

I have an I pod touch which will not start at all. I have tried 2 different chargers and to no avail. The screen does nothing at all.........just black.
I cannot reset it as the red band does not appear.
As far as I know, the battery is probably discharged, although I have tried to charge it up in an attempt to get it to turn on.
I would appreciate any help as I am reluctant to just throw away a piece of kit that is barely 2 years old!
Thanks all.
Clive

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- 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.

IPod Touch will not start completely or connect to iTunes

Ipod touch (about 15 months old), will not fully start. I can get it to shut down by holding the power and home buttons,
When I turn it back on, I will see the Apple logo for a few seconds and then see the clockwise spinning circle. The circle will spin for hours with nothing else happening.
I tried connecting it to iTunes and it recognizes it has been attached, but it is asking for the passcode. I can't get the iPod to the passcode enter screen.
Any ideas? I have no idea if and when if was last updated as it is my nephews.
Any help is appreciated.

IPod Touch will not start.

Hi, A few days ago my iPod Touch randomly stopped working. It now refuses to turn on and It will not connect to my computer. I Only got the iPod this Christmas.
Any ideas?

I am having the same problem. I've had the iPod a little over a month, it's bought off craigslist brandnew still in the package. I went to a baseball game and everything was fine. I got on the bus and was on the iPod using it when it out of no where reset itself and when it turned back on the connect to itunes logo appeared. So i reset and it did the same thing so i figured i would just shut it off and plug it in when i got home, however when I went to do that it was unresponsive. It wont respond to another reset and itunes wont recognize it the computer wont even pick it up..so I'm guessing mine is most likely a hardware failure. Which is covered by the warranty..however like i said I bought mine off a site like ebay. But it was brand new so i dont think it was tampered with. I'm hoping someone will respond to this to help.

My iPod Touch will not start up

I went to the bathroom and put my ipod touch on my bed. Before I put it down it was working perfectly!! When I returned my Ipod wouldn't turn on, I tried to charge it on my ipod touch charger through the outlet in my room which works good, and I tried to charge it through my laptop and base computer. I do not know what to do. If anyone has any idea PLEASE HELP ME!!

Try a hard reset of the iPod. To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear. This may take one or two tries.

Ipod Touch will not start up. Smells bad and feels hot.

I connected my Ipod Touch to a computer without ITunes installed just to charge it. Suddenly, my Ipod turned off and now feels warm and smells strange.

Z10 will not start up went dead

My z10 was fully charged and used it in the morning. A while later my phone was totally dead. It will not start up. I have pulled the battery and sim card and still nothing. Even put it on a charger and will not turn on. A couple days before this I had just uploaded the newest software. Also a couple of days ago I got a blue screen and also the phone has been rebooting itself for the last few days. Can anyone help me? Or is my phone garbage?

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Depending on your BB10 OS level, this could be a known bug that has been cured in later versions. I recommend you check your OS level and if you are not on 10.2.1.3247 that you immediately update to it via AutoLoader

Computer will not start up past "repair screen"

My hp pavilion touch will not start up correctly. When turned on it tries to go through an automatic repair but pops up with a screen that says "automatic repair couldn't repair your pc. Two options you can either shut it down or go to advanced options. So far no matter what I do I can not get it to finish starting up or repair itself.

Hi @ACOKAY,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
It is a fantastic place to find answers and suggestions!
For you to have the best experience in the HP forum I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide Learn How to Post and More
How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
I understand that when you start your computer you get the automatic repair screen and neither option presented makes any change.
Can you start it in safe mode?
If not I would suggest going to the recovery manager for more options
On start up of your notebook press the F11 key approximately once every second to access the recovery manager. This may take a few moments to display so be patient.
You will see different options available depending on what Operating System you are running.
For further assistance please provide your exact model of HP notebook and your Operating System.
Good Luck!
