Help! iPod won't turn on.

My new iPod said that my battery was low so I turned it off and now I can't turn it on. I have connected it to my computer to charge but nothing has happened. I have tried reseting it but that has done nothing.

You may need to leave it plugged in to charge the battery for about 3 hours. As it's plugged up you should notice a large battery charging on the screen. Also, just to make sure...if you don't see that battery try another one of your usb ports on your computer. After you have let it charge for awhile then try to power it up.
Good luck

If nothing works, then you may have no choice but to go to an Apple Store. If it comes down to that, make an appointment with the Genius Bar.

1st Generation iPod Won't Turn On

I have a original 1st generation iPod. Yes, the one with the scroll wheel and 5gb (wow!) drive. It doesn't turn on though. Originally, I suspected a loose connection from the battery to the logic board, but testing with my multimeter shows me the connection is fine. The iPod doesn't turn on at all. I tried plugging it into my computer's firewire port and pressing the menu and play/pause button to no avail.
I have a picture in this post of the iPod - all dead like a brick. Do any of you have any suggestions? I am at a brick wall right now and need to find some solution. Or if any of you know where I can get the iPod repaired or get a cheap logic board replacement? I can't spend too much though.
Thanks.

IPod won't turn on, won't appear in windos or itunes. What's broken?

Pacient: 30gb video ipod
Age: 1 year
Symthoms: kinda dead...out of the blue! This ipod never moved in the last 1 year. it stayed in one fixed place, connected to the charger 27/7 and one day, it just stopped!
I tried as many of the R's as i could. I drained the battery (or i think i did), i charged it over night (if it charges)...nothing!
Won't restart (even though i hear/feel the hard drive spinning), won't be detected by my computer, or by my other computer, or by my friend's mac...
I changed the USB wire, ports, updated windows, iTunes...everything that cand be updated.
Few times i got the message "restore using iTunes" but i can't restore cause i don't see it in iTunes...
Where i live there's no Apple officil store, is out of the guaranty and i don't know what part to change if i decide to fix it myself.
Can anyone help?
Anyone with the same problem?
Thank you

My iPod won't turn on and it makes an eerie beeping noise

I took it to a Genius Bar yesterday and the iPod was working and today it went to its original state as the day i took it there and they said that it needed to be restored which it did and it was also to be charged for 5 hours, which it did, and they deleted everything in it. A lady blanked it out so it would work and now it doesnt.
when i put it in a charger(wall & Pc) it wont turn on and go to the pic with the apple on it. I tried reseting it and i cant restore it only at APPLE and I cant do it here on my PC.
Its not my Pc its on every charger in the apple store and all my friends house.

If this is brand new, you might want to think about returning it for an exchange. You shouldn't need to fool around trying to solve this issue with a brand new unit.

My iPod won't turn on and i've done everything

I was driving and my iPod fell of the dash board and onto the floor, and now it won't turn on. I got an iHome for Christmas and have been using it so I know my iPod is fully charged. I tried connecting it with the USB so I can use it on iTunes and charge it just in case and my computer says it doesn't recognize it. It doesn't appear under devices so I'm unable to restore it.
I've only had it for alittle over a year, what the heck is wrong?
