Ipod video just stopped working

My 30g video ipod has been docked in a lansing charging station for several months. It had been working great until I decided to upgrade it with new tunes I had downloaded. Some of the tunes were from emusic but transfered without any trouble. I updated itunes and plugged the ipod into my computer. After I updated it and itunes had the "safe to disconnect",I still had the "do not disconnect" on my ipod screen. I turned the computer off and then disconnected the ipod. It just froze. I then reset it twice and it froze both times. Then I did a restore but now it is stuck on the "language" screen and won't play at all. When I try to go thru the menu it just freezes. Before the restore I got the message that my ipod was corrupted. It is frozen on the language screen. I have tried restoring it 3 times now but it is just frozen. And, there appears to be faint blue streaks in the screen. I did the "5 R's" and have tried everything. What is wrong? My ipod is about 2 years old. Help!

It could be as easily a bad battery. Bad Batteries have been known to give bad signals to the logic board. You can try to replace the battery. That is the biggest thing that I see.

If you have tried all of the suggestions mentioned under the appropriate section in this Apple support document, you may need to have your iPod serviced or replaced either by Apple or a third party service.
iPod won't turn on
If the iPod is still under Apple's 1 year warranty against manufacturing defects, Apple may swap it out for you at no cost if they don't conclude the issue to be the result of abuse or accidental damage. If you have an Apple Store nearby schedule an appointment with them and show them what you are experiencing.

My iPod screen just stopped working.

I was listening to a YouTube song when suddenly the music stopped. I tried to exit the app but it wouldn't budge. I tried locking the screen but when I went to unlock it, it appeared to the same screen with the YouTube app open without me having to have put in my passcode.
It wont let me restore and I don't know how to reset it.
I'm getting notifications and I am still able to use Siri. I asked her to see if I had any new emails to see if she could function when I suddenly found out that apparently my iPod was locked.
It wont show up with the lock screen. Just the same YouTube screen. I have that assisstive touch thingy that lets you lock the screen through the touch screen as well and it just keeps blinking. What's wrong with it and how do I fix this? Please, please help me.

If the Home or Power button does not work see my replay to this post
Turn on without Home/Power Button
Otherwise:
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- 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 another cable
- 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.

My iPod has just stopped working for no apparent reason?

I used it this morning for twenty minutes when I went out for a run. It may have gotten slightly sweaty (bleghh, sorry) but I don't think it was a factor in this! I listened to it for another ten minutes or so after the run, too, so it was still working then. But about half an hour later, I tried to listen to some songs again and it just didn't react at all. The screen was completely blank. Resetting it didn't work; plugging it into the mains did nothing but cause the Apple symbol to appear, disappear, and continue to do so, flashing on and off. Plugging it into the laptop, then pressing reset made the Apple symbol appear again, but then it vanished and the screen just kept flashing - it's quite dim so it's difficult to tell, but I think it's trying to show the Apple symbol but is crashing before all the bars can build up into a clear image. It's infuriating, because I only bought this iPod a couple of months ago, and I could have sworn I saved the warranty but now I can't find it
I would really, really appreciate any help you can give, I hate not being able to listen to music!

Help, my iPod Nano just stopped working

Help I've had my iPod nano 7th generation for about 6 months now. It's always worked fine until one day after charging it, it will no longer turn on. It does get hot when I try to charge it or reboot it (reboot using the home and on/off button together). Can anyone please help?

Hi AliPe!
I have a website that I believe will help you troubleshoot this issue. The website is an iPod troubleshooting assistant, and it can be found right here:
Apple - Support - iPod nano - iTunes Troubleshooting Assistant
http://www.apple.com/support/ipodnano/assistant/itunes/
Just follow the troubleshooting steps suggested by that website and you should be on the right track. Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.

Did you already try to reset it by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes back again?
If this does not work, try to connect in recovery mode, shown here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
