IPod Nano - don't turn on

Hi,
I have a first generation of iPod Nano (2 GB), while playing a music, the iPod froze, so I try to reset it. When I do that, the Apple logo appear on the screen, for a few seconds the backlight turn on (still showing the Apple logo) and then it turn off, and do the same itself again, again...again, until the battery is flat
Then when I connect the iPod to PC, it do this again (logo>logo with backlight on>off>logo>...) and PC (and iTunes) don't recognize, that the iPod is connected.
You can download the video showing the repeating starting sequence:

Please help me
Thank you

See if these help.
iPod shows only an Apple logo and doesn't start up.
Only the Apple logo appears when turned on.

    my Ipod nano 7th generation turned off and won't turn back on. what should I do?

    If you have done the reset and nothing appears and you are sure it still has a charge and it doesn't turn on, you may request for a replacement if it still covered by the warranty. Cheers!

  • 7th gen iPod nano won't turn on after disconnect.

    7th gen iPod nano won't turn on after disconnect. I loaded some new music, synced and ejected correctly. screen went black on unplug. Waited, did the button trick, didn't work. plugged it back in & it is recognized immediately. restored, resynced & ejected again. same thing-black screen w/ no response. Charged it overnight. ejected, screen then went to language setting. OK for English, eject & back to black on unplug. Switched ports for cable, tried eject thru PC...all resulting in dead nano after unplug. I really don't want to charge into the store & take it out on the poor kid who will catch the brunt of my frustration. anyone have a suggestion?

    Hello Marie,
    I would be concerned too if my iPod nano was not powering on.  I found an article for the 6th generation iPod nano that has steps you can take for an issue like this (the only difference for the 7th generation iPod nano is the steps you will take for the reset. I included the steps to reset a 7th generation iPod nano below):
    Will not turn on or screen remains dark
    Connect iPod to power for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has enough charge to allow iPod to turn on.
    If iPod does not turn on after ten minutes, try resetting the device while it is still connected to power. Reset the iPod by holding down the Sleep/Wake button and the Volume Down button for at least eight seconds or until you see the Apple logo appear.
    If the Apple logo appears on the display, connect iPod to a computer and verify that it appears in iTunes and can play music. If iPod appears in iTunes and can play music, no further troubleshooting is needed.
    If the screen remains dark and will not turn on, then your iPod may need service.
    You can find the full article here:
    iPod nano (6th generation): Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3474
    All the steps apply to the 7th generation except the steps for the reset.  To reset a 7th generation iPod nano, use these steps:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button for six seconds, or until the screen goes dark. The Apple logo appears after a few seconds, and then the Home screen. You may need to repeat this step.
    I got these steps from this tutorial, which may also help with your iPod not appearing in iTunes:

    *I've tried doing that "hold the menu and middle button" trick (i don't know if i have been doing it right though)
    Please respond i'm desperate

    Have you tried connecting to iTunes to be restored?  You may need to manually place the iPod into Disk Mode first so that it is recognized by both your Windows OS and iTunes.

    You have the accessibility VoiceOver feature turned on.
    Triple click the home button and try going to Settings>General>Accessibility and turn VoiceOver off. You may have to use three fingers to scroll the screen to get there. If problems see the following for how to turn off via iTunes:

  • IPod nano 3rd gen turnes off and on by itself

    I have a problem: my iPod nano 3rd generation turns off and on by itself every 5-7 seconds.
    How can I solve this problem?

    Is there a case around this iPod? It might be pushing on the touch wheel. Does it happen when you flick the lock switch? If so it seems like a restore is in order

    my iPod nano don't works. I take shower with it. What do i do?

    iPod nano's are not waterproof.  It's almost certainly dead.  Time for a trip to the Apple store to buy a replacement.  Try and keep the new one dry!

  • My ipod nano 6 keeps turning off the music when i touch the sleep button

    Hi my Ipod nano 6th keeps turning off the music when I touch the sleep/wake button.
    What should I do?

    Your problem is that your iPod is not sensing that your headset is inserted. There is a pin inside the headphone port on the Nano that senses if it is inserted fully. If it does not sense anything, it will pause playback when the screen turns off to save battery power. Here are the solutions:
    Insert it fully. This will fix it for most of you. Press that thing in there all the way. You should feel and hear a full click when it is fully seated. If you can see ANY silver of the headset jack, it is not fully inserted.
    Debris inside the headset port. If you are totally unable to push the headset jack all the way, the most likely problem is that you have crud inside your headphone jack. Try blowing it out or slapping it against your palm with the headset port facing your palm to try and get the stuff out. If you look into he jack with a light, you should be able to see to the bottom. The entire inside of the headset port is white, so if it looks dark at the bottom, that is the crud that is keeping your nano from working.
    Headset jack or plug issue. If you cannot solve the problem with 1 or 2, then there is likely something physically wrong with either the headset jack on your headphones or the headset port on the nano.

  • The screen on my ipod nano 2nd generation turns black. It still plays music. I've tried resetting the ipod to clear the black screen and the screen goes back to it's normal state but after a few minutes the screen goes black again.

    The screen on my ipod nano, 2nd generation, turns black. It stills plays music. I've tried resetting the ipod to clear the black and the screen goes back to it's original state. But after a few minutes the screen turns black again, while the music is still playing. What can I do about this?

    That's just the iPod's backlight timer going off, signaling the iPod's backlight to turn off to conserve battery power.

  • My ipod nano won't turn on!

    My ipod nano won't turn on. I have tried restarting and resetting it. I have tried plugging it into two different computers and both times it just kept blinking the apple logo. It's not on hold. My warranty is expired. Do I need to get it repaired or replaced, or is there something I can do?

    my ipod nano won't trun off either sometimes.. when that happens i have to hit play and have it play a song for a couple of seconds and then do the thing to turn it off andfthen it turns off.

  • My iPod Nano only will turn on occasionally. Most of the time the screen is just black.

    My iPod Nano will not turn on. I bought the device last December or January and used it exactly twice and it quit working completely. I sent it in to be fixed. It came back and I used it exactly once and it went totally black. I sent it back a third time and when it came back I used it four or five times and it went black. It has turned on three times since but now it will not turn on. Is this a common problem? Is there a user-fix to make it start working?

    Are you sure the batter isn't just running out of juice?  When the iPod quits responding do you plug it in to charge for a couple of hours?  What are you usually doing when listening to the Nano?
