Looking at the teardown for the iPod here:

Maybe you damaged the ribbon cable that connects the switch to the logic board.

  • HT3215 Hi, I just got my new iPod Nano 4th Gen. and the screen is blank... It's not on and its plugged into my Mac OS X Mountain Lion. I don't know what to do. Help!?

    Hi, I just got my new iPod Nano 4th Gen. and the screen is blank... It's not on and its plugged into my Mac OS X Mountain Lion. I don't know what to do. Help!?

    If it is plugged into a USB hub (or the spare keyboard port), try connecting it to a direct USB port.
    Also, try doing this Reset procedure, while it is connect to power.

  • 4th gen iPod touch worked fine yesterday, this morning will not power on

    I've always used my iPod for almost everything, contact,notes memos,calender planning, videos and internet stuff. I have a special cord I connect to the wide screen tv and can play videos and any movies directly from the internet. A video system for the car to play from my iPod for the kids. In other words it's a very important device for me. It worked fine last night as always. This morning I went to use it I got nothing, no apple icon or anything. I tought maybe I left it on, so I connected it to power. 20 minutes later, no signs of life. I removed the protective rubber case I keep it in to prevent accidental breakage and noticed beads of moisture inside the case. Could this be related some how? I'm hoping this is something I can at home. I really can't afford to be without this too long,
    (important contacts and job related notes and such). Please help, Thanks.

    You may end up erasing the iPod. Just restore from backup if that is the case
    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 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.

    Some older accessories are not supported by the latest iPOd and some older ones with the latest iOS.  Have you checked the manufacturer's website?

  • My Itouch 4th Gen. screen has cracked. Will having warranty make a difference for the repair price?

    The bottom half of my itouch 4th Gen. has cracked. Everything is still working fine, it's just the screen that is damaged. I have a warranty for my itouch and i was wondering if the repair price would be any different. Also where do i take it for repair? Do i just drop by my local apple store, and give it to them to repair it? How long will it take for repair? or will they just replace it?

    No. Warranty covers workmanship and material only. In order to cover damage you need insurance.

    What type network is yu router set up for? The 4G iPod can only connect and see 2.4 GHZ networl like B, G and the 2,4 GHz N. There is also a 5 GHz N but the iPod will not even seethat network.

    That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
    Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

  • ITouch 4th gen. wont turn on at all, after already being used.

    So i am 15 and i got my brand new 32g iTouch 4th gen for Christmas. Iv had past iPod's so i already knew how to add songs, and what not. My songs are already on the iPod and everything has been working great. I was just on the internet showing my mom this storage bin on kmart, after that i closed down the internet, and pressed the lock button at the top. I then wanted to show her this picture on my lock screen, so i went to turn it on/unlock it, and nothing worked! I tried pressing the lock button, and the home button. I also tried holding each. I also tried connecting it to my computer to see if it would work. It did not. Its stuck on a black screen. Please help!

    Ok i fixed it!! I texted my best friend Ivan. (: You hold down both the lock and home button. As soon as the apple pops up, let go. (or else your data will be erased) then, i let it do its own thing for about 30 seconds and it turned on! yay!(:
