It looks like you've tried everything you can physically can. Assuming that you're fully charged and done your reset, you - regrettably - will need to go to the Apple Store or Genius Bar to have your Touch examined by an expert. They'll evaluate your unit on the spot. If you're still under warranty, it's likely they'll issue a new Touch on the spot (assuming your model is in stock; if not, they will quote you repair times and prices.
Wish I could give you better news.

  • My ipod touch 5th generation will not turn on and the home button doesn't work. what do i do?

    Hello my name is Leslie and i would like to ask you guys a question on how to fix my ipod or what is wrong with it. My ipod touch 5th generation will not turn on and the home button doesn't work. what can i do to fix it ?

    Has the home button worked in the past, or is this been something that hasn't worked for some time? The only way to reset the device is with the sleep/wake (power) and home buttons together. Without it, you would have to wait until the battery dies and then plug it in to try and reset it. The Home button is used for several user troubleshooting steps. Without it, you cannot perform a reset, put the device into recovery mode, or place it in DFU mode. You need to get the home button repaired.

    - Try another cable
    - Try on another computer

  • IPod Touch 4th Gen. will not turn on!

    My iPod touch 4th Generation will not turn on. I've only had it since September and have barely used it. I plug it into my computer and it doesn't charge, it doesn't turn on even with a low battery symbol... my computer doesn't even recognize it as being plugged in. When I plug a 3rd generation in, it charges and is recognized by my computer, so I am almost 100% sure it's not a problem with my computer.
    I've tried holding down both the home key and the power key at the same time and nothing happens...
    Help please!

    Welcome to the discussions,
    does it charge using the adapter? If yes, charge it for at least 10min, then connect in recovery mode, shown here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

  • Ipod touch 2nd gen will not turn on or restore

    hey guys, so i have a Ipod touch 32gb 2nd gen. It suddenly just stopped working it turned off so I thought I just needed to charge it. But after leaving it to charge for a few hours i tried turning it on but nothing happened. When I connect it to my computer and hold the lock and home button itunes prompts me to restore it but when I try to restore all i get is a white screen on the ipod and a error 21 on itunes. I have tried many methods to remove that error 21 but nothing has worked. So now I have a non responsive ipod that will not turn on or restore help please!!!
    Any help will be welcomed and thanked!!!
    Thanks in advance!!

  • Ipod touch 3rd gen will not turn on

    Hi
    Updated my Ipod touch 3rd generation and now it will not turn on. I have restored it in itunes and updated it with the latest software but still nothing.
    The Ipod however is seen within Itunes.
    Any help would be greatly received.
    Regards

    - Try here:
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - When you restore does the appear that the iPod successfully goes through all the stages of restore?
    If yes, try placing the iPod in Recovery mode and then restore.
    Next try DFU Mode

    - Then try a different computer
    - Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Ipod touch 5th gen will not turn on- home button stopped working months ago

    Hi,
    So I have a ipod touch 5th gen and it suddenly turned off and will not turn on.
    Okay, I just want to say first I know the answer would be to hold the top button and the home button at the same time until it turns on.
    The thing is, my centre home button stopped workings months ago so I was using the assistive touch.
    What happened:
    I was using my ipod and the battery was almost full. When I tried to use it 10 minutes later it was turned off and I can't turn it on. I tried plugging it on my computer and it will not recognize it.I also tried holding only the power button on top for a while but nothing happened.
    Any ideas?

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    Ignore the reset and when it says place the iPod in recovery mode
    Place the iPod in recovery mode using one of these programs:

    or

    Download QTMLClient.dll & iTunesMobileDevice.dll for RecBoot
    and                                          
    RecBoot tip

  • What do you do when your iPod touch 5th generation will not turn on, and it isn't in recovery mode?

    Today, my iPod touch 5th gen wasn't turning on, but during school earlier today it was working just fine. When I got on the bus, it wouldn't turn on? I got home and I plugged it into the charger and tried to see if it would turn on that way, nope. Also, there would be no way for it to be in recovery mode, because of the fact that the home button is pushed in and wont work. I've had my iPod for 2 years, is it just old and decided to give out?

  • My ipod touch 4th generation will not turn on

    I was using it for like 5 minutes and I put it away in the side compartment of my backpack and when I went to use it like two hours later it would not turn on, the low battery image did come up and even when I plugged it into my ipod dock it still did not come on, now I have it plugged into my computer and still nothing. I bought it when it first came out about october or november I think. I guess my question is will the replace it because I didn't do anything to cause this to happen.

    Well there is one thing you can try... hold down the home button and lock/sleep button at the same time and don't forget to hold it. It should turn on. (By the way what you are doing is a restart, if you were on your iPod Touch on the home screen and you did thins it would reboot, and that is exactly why you are doing this)
