I need help diagnosing my iPod Touch 2nd Gen

Hi,
I have an iPod Touch 2nd gen (8 gig) that I won from work over a year ago. There is no warranty and I was hoping to get this fixed myself, if at all possible.
Last weekend I was visiting my parents house in pretty hot weather. I meant to take the iPod out and put it int my pocket, but had forgotten it, of all places, on the dashboard of the car.
I can imagine it got way over 100 degrees and it was there for at least 3 hours time.
After that incident the iPod would not turn on. When pressing the top power button, the Apple logo would appear, but after a few minutes it would shut itself off. The normal "on" button in the bottom middle had no effect at all on it.
When I finally got home I tried doing all the steps I was able to do on my own. Restore, reset, recharged…. ect.
The current status is that the iPod works great…. when plugged into syncing mode from my Mac at home. When disconnected though, it will only stay on for about a minute before shutting itself off and never being able to show more than the Apple logo when pressing the top power button.
I have an external recharger that connects directly to a wall socket that also will not let the iPod stay on. Just seems to work when synced to my Mac. Battery power says it is fully charged.
Very long explanation but I was wondering if anyone has run into this themselves, and if so what did you do to fix this? I am wanting to believe it is a dead battery but wanted some insight from others before taking any action.
Thanks all for reading this.

Likely a batter problem since high temperatures destroy a battery. I wold make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store to see what they say. It is free except for your time.

Help!! ipod touch 2nd gen (8gb) is running by itself!

I just got a ipod touch 2nd gen (8gb) from a friend.
This ipod has some problem.. it is running by itself! When I on it, and for example go to Settings, it will just randomly go to a next selection as if responding to my selection but I never touch anything.. I've tried to reset to factory settings and it's updated to ios4.2.1 but still no use..
anyone can help? greatly appreciated!!

When restoring an iPod to factory setting fails to resolve a problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I need to downgrade my ipod touch 2nd gen Mc model back to 3.1.3 because that is what my default firmware was when i first bought it. iOS 4.2.1 is slow on my ipod, is there a way maybe if apple can reset my ipod touch back to 3.1.3?

is there a way if apple can reset my ipod touch 2nd gen MC model back to 3.1.3? because iOS 4.2.1 is slow on my ipod and i cant deal with also i cannot afford a new ipod at the moment. also 3.1.3 was my default iOS when i first activated my ipod touch. I bought it in December in 2009

"You can restore to Factory Default which should go back to the original system"
This will not work..
A restore will always install the latest available software.
Again, there is NO legit way to go back at all.

Help With Faulty iPod Touch 2nd Gen

I recently brought a ipod toch 2nd gen 16gb model and 2-3 days later the screen just died i guess i took it to a apple retail store in manchester trafford centre U.K and they told me that there is no power going to the screen well it was totally dead and they said ring up and arrange a appointment and they can then replace it there and then for me or fix it if it can be , they would have done it but i was a came late 10 minutes before it closes down and the paper work also needed to be done. So does that mean that i wont have to wait and they will replace it for me without me waiting a awfull long time i have 1 year warranty it expires on the 15th October 2009 , so my point is will they replace it there and then.

If you only had it for 2-3 days, demand a new one not a fix for that one. They should replace it on the spot. Make sure and bring your packaging and all accessories that came with your 2g touch so they have no excuse not to give you a new one.

Need help with my ipod touch 4th gen

My name is whitney last year i bought a ipod touch 4th gen . And everything was working fine until i had recently updated it to ios 5.0.1 . Ihave internet connection and can view the browser but when i try to view the app store it either keeps loading the page, or it says cannot connect to itunes store or the browser has timed out . I am getting very frustrated about this as last month my ipod was working fine with everything until i had updated it and had to restore it and the problem still persists. And it wont let me verify my icloud account either it also times out and says verfification failed . If anyone out there can help me out i would appreciate it .

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."

Try plugging your ipod into your computer. Then start up itunes. Let it load everything. Then click on your ipod and play a song from your ipod's library. Not your itunes library. If it plays the song, then go ahead and stop it, disconnect your ipod, and check the content once again.
I had the same problem and beleive it or not, this worked. I synced my ipod like 5 times before finding this answer on the web. Let me know if I need to clerify anything.

My ipod touch 2nd Gen let me sign up to game center but it won't load any of my games and won't let me play with my friend. I don't know if it's like this because it is old and slow, or what. Please help me figure this out. Thank You.

Ipod touch 2nd gen and have ios 4.2.1. apps that will not download, higher ios version needed

I have an ipod touch 2nd gen and have ios 4.2.1. I recently tried to download some apps and received a message that said I need a higher ios version (like 4.3 or higher). I know there used to be apps that worked before but I deleted them. When I tried to re-download them again they say they won't work. Options?
Thanks
Westy

Import the older versions to the iTunes library from your computer or a backup of it, or buy a newer device, or give up.

QUICK ANSWER.Apple iPod touch 2nd gen. Digitizer and LCD replacement help.

Hi,
I bought a digitizer from amazon and a LCD from there. And I got them today. When I installed my LCD I got a white screen, but restored ( I didn't have my digitizer on) so I tried to touch my LCD when it said slide to unlock, but nothing unresponsive and it still is. I put my digitizer on but I only had one screw that holding down the battery. And i connected it and nothing. Took it out, now I googled why it dos t work and it said "logic board" how do I know if it's broke. iPod touch 2nd gen 8gb

LCD stands for Liqued Crystal Display and isn't the problem.
the digitizor has a meaning in which i just forgot and
why in the world are YOU replacing the stuff???
hope i helped?!
