IPod touch 4g won't turn on and my home button is broken

My iPod touch that I just got last March won't turn on after putting it to "sleep" while I was in class today. My Home Button does not respond that well so I used SBSettings as an alternative. I've encountered this situation before but my Home Button was 100% working back then. I resolved it by holding the Home Button and the Power Button at the same time. Now that my Home Button is broken, I can't fix it anymore. Does anyone know any alternatives on how to fix this?

My Ipod 5th generation won't turn on and the home button is broken. what do i do?

My iPod was working fine all day and then I locked it and when I came back to it, it would not turn on and it had almost a full battery. I have tried to plug it into it's charger but it still wouldn't turn on so I plugged it into the computer and that didn't seem to work either. I would try the method of holding down the home button and lock button down at the same time but my home button is broken (which I also do not know why it has broken). PLEASE HELP

IPod Touch 5th Generation won't turn on and the home button is broken, followed the steps from another thread but it's still not working

I have an iPod Touch 5th Generation with iOS 8.1, my home button is broken and I've been using AssistiveTouch for months now. Today I just locked my iPod and it wouldn't unlock again, it doesn't respond at all, it won't turn on. It was almost fully charged, so it's not the battery. I followed the steps from this thread, but I'm still getting the "USBMuxListenerCreate: No Error" message in CMD Prompt. I bought my iPod abroad and even though I do have the warranty, I've been told at the iStore that it's not valid here, so going to the store isn't really an option. Any ideas how to solve this?

Sorry, but without a working home button it is not possible to reset or restore your device. You should visit an Authorized Appel Service Provider or Apple Store to get it serviced. The warranty for an iPod is not limited to the country where it has been bought, check here: one-year limited warranty
Jailbraking the device will void the warranty.
You can check the warranty status by inserting the serial number on this page: https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do

My iPod (5th Gen) won't turn on and my home button isn't working?

Hello! For the past two weeks my home button hasn't been working and since I'm too lazy to go to an apple store I just started using assistive touch instead. But ever since yesterday my iPod won't turn on which I know is a normal problem with as easy fix, to restart the device, but that requires a working home button, which is something I don't have. I've tried using rubbing alcohol to fix the home button but it won't work, if anyone has any other solutions I will be forever grateful!

Found an Ipod in the ground.It's disabled and the home button is broken.Can I go to apple store and restore for me for free?

Apple might be able to restore it, but most likely not. You can pay apple $150 to replace it, but make shure to not mention that you found it.

After updating my iPod touch it won't turn on and the apple icon stays on. What do I do ?

My I pod won't turn on. It was updated with new software and when it went to restart the apple icon comes up and stays up, but that's it. The only other action we found is that the charging indicator has come on but that's it. What should I do?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
