IPod Nano 2g buttons/wheel just stopped working

Out of nowhere. I had it plugged into my computer to charge, then ejected it so I could listen to it in bed while charging.
I've done it many times before but it's never crapped out on me like this before. I've tried messing with the hold switch but that didn't do anything. I did a full restore on it and now I'm just stuck on the language select screen, unable to select anything. The wheel and buttons don't do anything.
Any help?

I just bought a used silver 2gb off ebay and it's doing the same thing. Are you sure the battery is not dead. Leave it on and see how long it lasts. Mine just dies after 30 seconds even plugged in. Stays on language screen and no wheel response. Hopefully somebody else knows.

My ipod nano 3rd Generation has just stopped working with no warning signs!

It has a black blank screen and is unresponsive to charging when plugged into a USB port and a standard USB mains powered charger that came with my iphone.
I have tried pressing the menu and centre button and nothing happens.
Please help if possible.
Thank you.

How long have you left it to charge? That is a pretty good chance that the battery may just be shot and in need of replacement.

Yes. The battery appears to be shot and in need of a replacement. This can either be done by Apple or a third party repair company.

Ipod nano 6th gen touch screen stopped working please help

Everything on the ipod nano 6th gen is working except the touch screen and once it goes to sleep i have to hold the sleep button and the volume down button to turn it back on. I went into the volume -, sleep, volume + menu and went through the tests and in the touch panel error check section it says i have IC error reported: 0xFFFFFFFF. Please help as i have reset and restored and update itunes etc. Do i need to send it in to apple? The touch screen was working at one stage and then i disconected from the computer while it said eject first (this is when the touch screen stopped working) and put the ipod on a different computer. The first computer was windows 7 which i used just to charge it a little and the second one im using is windows vista.

I have had the same problem and changed three Nano's. Each time the fault is diagnosed by Apple as "water damage".
If you take your Nano to one of their maintenance centres they will look into either the headphone socket or the power dock and and tell you that you have infringed the warranty by somehow getting the thing wet.
Basically is a poorly designed piece of kit whereas a simple shuffle is way more robust.
I have given up with my Nano and am now using an old model

HT4061 My lock button and home screen button has just stopped working, how do i fix this?

My lock and home screen button has just suddenly stopped working, i have looked on YouTube, unscrewed the back and tried the methods that work for other people but it hasn't worked.
Im not on contract, if it needs to go in for repair im sure it will be very expensive!
What shall i do?

It's a hardware issue. If it's out of warranty, you can get it replaced but there's an out of warranty fee associated.

Please help i restored my ipod nano and now my wheel will not let me pick songs rasie or lower the volume or even turn it off how do i fix this prob and can it be fixed its a ipod nano gen 4 or 5 i cant remember please help

Does this video play okay in iTunes? Have you tried resetting your Nano? To do this, press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
If it plays okay in iTunes, try removing the video from the iPod and resyncing it.

My iPod Touch, gen 4, CAMERA just stopped working. All it does is display a dark screen.

That's it. It stopped working with no apparent cause. No sync, no connection with myPC.
I tried to force it to fix itself by connecting to the PC and syncing, no good.

Hi Ingo2711,
Thanks for the suggestion. But I don't understand it as your words seem to conflict with the words at the link.
Not to mention, it feels like a start over and that scares ,me more than it is worth.
No other way to get back my camera and my photos?
WHOOOOOPSSS!!!! I just attached my iTiuch to my PC setting off an ajutomatic SYNC and that jarred it back to working again.

I have an iPod touch 3rd gen, but suddenly the lock button has just stopped working overnight and it won't lock or turn off. I have noticed though that it does go into dfu mode. Can anyone help Me?

So my first iPod 4th generation charger just stopped working and I've only had it for about 2 months! Please help!!!!

My iPod touch 4th generation charger just stopped working and I've only had it for about 2 or 3 months. Please help!!!

Then it should still be under warranty, so make an appointment at your local apple store and have them take a look at it.
If that's not a possibility and you want to troubleshoot, what do you mean by 'just stopped working'? What were you doing? Maybe some more info could help with troubleshooting.

My New iPod nano 6g, just stop working the screen is freezd in the menu? Pleace HELP!!!

My New iPod nano 6g, just stop working the screen is freezd in the menu? Pleace HELP!!!

try resetting. Hold down volume down and sleep/wake button until you see apple logo.
If that does not work, connect it to itunes, then restore.
If none of that helps, you may need to contact apple. Has it gotten wet?

Did the battery run out of power? If not, try doing a Reset to "reboot" the iPod

4th gen. nano's buttons just stopped working

I have a nearly new 4th generation ipod that just stopped working in certain respect. It charges, its recognized by the computer and syncs just fine.
The only issue is, my buttons do not work. I keep it in extraordinary shape-and too be honest I'm a little furious that its committing suicide because i treat it so well.
I've restored, reset and still no solution. Which by the way is a twist in the story- the buttons work in order to reset the ipod but do not work to actually use the **** thing.
HELP

my buttons work fine its just when I try to scroll it seems to stick or just not go as fast as it should, im ****** to. i want to know if this is fixable and covered in my warranty, which is about to expire.

My Ipod nano power button wont work while headset are in, how do i fix it?

Hello, I got myself a iPod nano 6th gen. and I'm already having problems with it. I got it from ebay and it was working all good, expect one day the power/sleep button just stop working when the headset are plugged in.
so this is how I can somewhat make it work on it but it still stinks to work with it like this. When I have no head set plug in, it works all fine. The power/sleep button is okay, the volume button is okay, and the touch screen is okay, but once I plug the headset set in, if shut off after 1 second, and cant turn it back on, then if i plug my power cable in then I can use the touch screes, but the power/sleep button doesn't work as well the volume buttons. Now if I do a soft reset with the power button and down volume and get the apple logo on, I can quickly get the headset plug in and play the music with out the power cable in, but still cant use the button at all. Also when I have it plug in to the power cable then plug in the headset, it shut off until I replug in the power cable or remove the headset to turn it back on.
How can I fix this? I tried the factory reset through iTunes, and it didn't help. I try the diagnostic and that didn't help. Should I just send it in and pay for the repair cost or what?

The earphones must be pushed very hard into the iPod. So hard, that the white part of the plug must touch the iPod in order for the external speakers to turn off. You will hear a click.
If you do a forum search, you will find this same solution. If it does not work, you will need to take your iPod to an Apple store or call the Apple iPod tech support if still under warranty or you have Apple Care.

My Ipod just stopped working, the screen got black and now I can't open it. I have tried to charge it but it doens't work.

My Ipod touch 5 just stopped working. The screen got black and now I can't use it or start it.
I have tried to charge it but it doens't start and when I tried to connect it with my computer it didn't work either.
I saw that you could hold down the "home" button and the "power" button at the same time but my home button doens't work so I can't do that.
Is there any other way I can fix it or do I have to go to an apple store?

Try:
Turn on without Home/Power Button
