Ipod Touch 2nd Generation stopped working..totally dead!

Hey.
Hoping that someone out there can help me out..my 2nd generation Ipod Touch has stopped working..wont charge..wont turn on..nada! It did the same thing last week but eventually it charged up and worked again. However this time its totally unresponsive.
I used it last night..turned it off and awhile later tried to turn it on again but it didnt respond. I tried to charge it overnight but its completely dead. I plugged it into a computer and a window appeared to say that everything is updated but still nothing. When I unplugged it and tried again the wondow did not appear.
Its had connectivity issues for awhile now but I assumed initially that it was just dodgy internet connections rather than a problem with the Ipod itself..clearly not!!
Ive tried all the solutions offered on the Apple website but it appears to be totally dead. I only bought it in February this year..its an Apple refurbished model.
Aside from the obvious frustration of now not being able to use it..to complicate matters I'm travelling in South America for the forseeable future so dont have readily available access to a Apple dealer etc.
As its still relatively new I should be covered by the warranty but just wondering what anyone out there would advise I do in order to either get it repaired or replaced given that I'm travelling etc.
Theres no authorized dealers in Cusco where I'm currently living..there appears to be one in Bolivia where I'm heading in a few weeks but I dont even have my receipt with me so I'm not even sure I can get it fixed under the warranty.
Would really appreciate any advice from someone that is a bit more familiar with Apple products and/or has some advice about warranties etc.
Many thanks in advance.

Any chance this could simply be a battery issue????? I do use it a **** of a lot..! Anyone any idea how much new batteries are?

The speakers on my iPod Touch 2nd generation stopped working.

The speakers on my iPod Touch 2nd generation stopped working. The volume doesn't even register - can't turn it up or down. On occasion the headphones will work when plugged in. Turned it off and on, tried reset, nothing works. I bought it second hand so no AppleCare. What can I do?

Try restoring the iPod via iTunes on your computer. First from backup and if problem persists restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

My Ipod touch 2nd generation stopped making sound

I have had my ipod for many years so I know it doesn't fit under this topic but none of them did... All of a sudden last night my ipod touch 2G just stopped making sound for music or notifications even with headphones. I restored it from itunes but no help, I reset from Ipod touch but no help, then I went to google & was able to get the sound back only with headphones. Can someone please tell me how I can get my sound back! My ipod is my life, I think I might die without it! jk lol

It is not clear from your question if the restore was from backup or what. Have you tried restoring it to factory defaults/new iPod via iTUnes. Not from backup.

The home buttun on my iPod touch 5 generation stopped working , i just bought from de U.S. Store and I'm from Mexico, and i have to use the warranty

Help

Try calibrating it first. Go to a stock Apple application (ex. Stocks), hold down the power button until "Slide to shut down" shows up, then hold down the home button until it all disappears. You can use Assitive Touch in the Settings menu if nothing else works.

My ipod touch 2nd generation wont work now ever since I took the screen apart trying to tighten up the headphone jack, can someone please tell me how to fix this problem!!!

Ever Since I took it apart trying to to fix the headphone jack which need tightened because only one side was working

Everything seems to be working fine when I double click the home button the music play thing shows up, but when I try to press play to touch it it want play, ever since I took it apart a piece of thescreen that was connected to a black part got broken off (not the screen but the black part),and now it closes in all corners except the one where it was broken, but I put it back in place it's just not connected to the screen.

My Ipod touch 2nd gen. was working fine but when I tried to charge from my PC the Ipod start getting too hot and the screen turn black and doesn't work anymore.Maybe is burn?

My Ipod touch 2nd generation was working fine until I tried to charge again from my PC,when I connected the Ipod was getting too hot and smelling like burn cable,the screen turn black and doesn't work anymore. any ideas about what happen?

You can try here:

However, from your discription, I suspect that something is broken. Maybe a dead battery. In that case. I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store and see what they say.

Hi Imminnie,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. If iTunes doesn't recognize your iPod touch, this article may help:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

If issues persist, a thorough removal and reinstall of iTunes would be the next thing to try:

Sounds like you actually have a 1st generation as those cannot update beyond iOS 3.1.3.

I have an iPod touch 2nd generation and my touch screen doesn't work, at all. What should I do?

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours. I say not worth it for a 2G
Apple - iPod Repair price
A third-party place like the following maybe less. Google for more. Again, likely not worth it for a 2G

Replace the screen yourself if you are up to it

My Mom has an ipod Touch 2nd gen. Working fine one night. Put on charger; next day dead.

My Mom has an ipod Touch 2nd gen. Working fine one night. Put on charger; next day dead. 'Ive researched and tried everything. Fully charged. Let sit for 5 months to run the charge out. Tap it firmly against padded surface. Press and hold buttons for x amount of time. Itunes won't recognize. Deader than a door nail. What can I do?

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 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.

Restored Ipod touch 2nd generation running ver.4.2 unable to reload apps. Say I need iOs 5 to complete. called apple tech line no luck. They say it should work.

I have a Ipod Touch 2nd generation. My ipod froze and would not let me restart it. I restored my Ipod but now I can recover my apps. My ipod says I need to upgrade to iOS 5. I have software 4.2. Contacted Apple tech support I was told I should be able to download them. How can I get upgrade and get back my pre-purchased apps.

It sounds like you actually have a 2G iPod Touch, which can only be updated to iOS 4.2.1 and no later. Not only that, but the apps you are trying to install have been updated and now require a higher version of iOS that is not supported on your iPod Touch. If that is the case, you are out of luck, unless you buy a newer iOS device or can recover the older versions of the app that didn't require a later version of iOS. The older versions of the app could still be in your Trash Can/Recycle Bin.

My Ipod Touch 2nd Generation Froze And Is Trying To Install ALL Of My Apps!

A few hours ago my ipod touch 2nd generation froze, and then it took about 15 minutes to unfreeze. Now it's working very slow. I soon realized that it's trying to istall ALL of my apps I've downloaded since I got my ipod. I had to attempt to shut off the wifi so it would stop. right now over 25 apps are on Pause. I don't want to restore my ipod because I last did a backup about a few months ago. My computer is out of memory, and it's a very slow computer. I recently send an email to apple because of an issue I had with two missing itunes store purchases that it deleted off of my ipod when I connected it with itunes. They never emailed me back and it's been over 24 hours. Could apple be attempting to send me back ALL of the things I've purchased and downloaded with my account? If they are, IT'S NOT FUNNY

- First try restoring from backup
- If problem persists, restore to factory defaults/new iPod
If still a problem you likely have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Not Charge
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
