Ipod freezes up my pc and now wont turn on

I got this 4th gen 20gig ipod from my brother - nearly dead battery. no usb cable with it. we bought a 3rd party usb cable, plugged it into the pc and the pc froze. we rebooted the pc and ipod, same result pc froze. now ipod won't turn on. when reconnecting to pc i just get apple icon, sad ipod icon, then battery with bolt but no animation showing it's charging. when removed from pc it only shows apple icon and sad ipod. i put it on the apple supplied wall charger and i get apple icon, sad ipod and a quick flash of what appears to be smaller battery with ! on it, then back to apple icon and process repeats.
i've searched everywhere i can think of for help but can't find any. please help thanks.

  • Iphone turned off whilst plugging it into a docking station and now wont turn on

    Hi everyone.
    So i plugged my Iphone into a docking station to play the radio last night and it completely turned off and now wont turn back on.
    I have done the following:
    12hour wall charging
    Computer connected
    All resets done.
    Still nothing. Anyone shed any light? I'm going crazy!
    Thanks

    Connect iPhone to Wall Charger and Reset, hold both Home and Power buttons until the iPhone begins to start. Usually takes 20 seconds of holding both buttons.

  • NO power on my MacbookPro: it all started with Battery of my MacBook Pro saying it was not charging (even if the pro was plugged) and it then switched off and now wont turn back on. There is no light on the magsafe and no startup noises at all.

    If you have Apple Care or your computer is still under warranty, give them a call and get a case number.  Otherwise, take the computer to an Apple store or an AASP.  Whichever is more convenient for you.

  • My iphone just went all hot turned off and now wont turn back on, my iphone just went all hot turned off and now wont turn back on, my iphone just went all hot turned off and now wont turn back on

    my iphone just went all hot turned off and now wont turn back on, any ideas??

    Let it cool and then reset it... press the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

  • TS2771 My ipod touch 4th generation just turned off on me, it had full battery and now wont turn back on, how do i fix it?

    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 iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Playbook wouldn't charge, and now wont turn on, HELP?

     So yesterday, I tried to charge my playbook, but it wouldn't work. Its not brand new, but its not old either, I have had it for a month maybe? I used the charger that came with it, and I tried using the USB too. Neither worked. I tried my charger on my friends playbook (same kind, we bought them together), and it worked, so I know its not that. I tried leaving it over night, still nothing. Now it wont turn on either, the little button thingy (pardon my non-technical terms) at the top just turns red, then flashes yellow/green five times. Any suggestions are welcomed, please and thank you! 

    Try a hard reset with it plugged in...press and hold the power and volume +&- until the device restarts...worked for me.

  • Ipad Crashes with blue screen and now wont turn on

    After updating the ios 8.2.1 any app I would use, a blue screen would come up covering the whole screen then crash, I would have to restart, and do the whole thing all over again. I then thought to try to reset all settings but as soon as I opened the Settings app, the blue screen would come up and I would have to restart the ipad again. And now after many attempts my ipad will now not switch on. I can't connect it to the PC, nothing appears. And nothing happens when charging it.

    Hi there iroam_soljah,
    I understand that your iPad is not responding when you attempt to power it up or charge it. You will want to use the following article for information on how to address this issue:
    If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201412
    Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.
