IPod won't turn on or charge AT ALL

My iPod:
8 gb
4th gen (w/ camera)
NOT jailbroken
One year old
I bought it last September (2010) and my warranty just expired. Seriously, two weeks after the warranty ended, my iPod failed to turn on one RANDOM day at a very RANDOM moment.
I own four iPod chargers (USB and Wall) and none of them charged my iPod. All four plugs work because I have an old classic iPod and all plugs charge it fine. When I plugged it in, nothing on the screen showed up. I tried letting it charge for two days, and it never turned on. I held down the Power and Home button together and for the first couple of times, it showed the red battery w/ the "need to charge" sign underneath. However, after holding down both buttons a few times, the iPod won't even budge at all.
It's the black screen of death. PLEASE HELP ME!!
What doesn't work for me:
won't charge at all
plugs aren't the problem
holding down the home button (and the power button together) doesn't work -- no apple appears, nothing! even after holding it for 1 minute
doesn't even turn on -- nothing shows up on the screen!!!

- After being connecting to a charging source for one hour, try resetting the iPod.
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
-Then connect to your computer. If iTunes sees the iPod restore via iTunes.
- Next see if placing the iPod in recovery mode will allow you to restore the iPod. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
- Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since you likely have a hardware problem.

IPOD WON'T TURN ON OR CHARGE

I've been using my iPod with the USB input on my new Honda Civic. It was specifically made for iPod, and my model (120GB) meets the compatibility requirements. All was working perfectly until tonight when the dashboard simply displayed the word "unsupported". I tried unsuccessfully to turn on the device manually, but nothing happened. I thought maybe it needed to be charged, although the dealer told me it would charge while connected to the car. However after an hour in the cradle at home and a half-hour connected to this computer, it still won't turn on. When plugged into the computer I heard the little USB connect sound, but the device doesn't show up in iTunes or as a drive on my PC. What happened, and how do I fix it?

I had to learn how to reset it and only then would it successfully charge up. It seems that the car dealer was incorrect when he told me that connecting to the car's USB cable would recharge it. I tried it this morning in the car and it worked. Thanks for the fix.

Macobook pro won't turn on or charge

Ok, so I was surfing the web on my 3 month old macbook pro 2011 and it completly turned off while it had plenty of battery left. I only had it on for about an hour but it felt pretty hot. So my first thought was that the battery died, so I plug it it but it won't charge. I tried different outlets, the light on the charger it self is blinking pretty fast but it just won't turn on or charge at all.
I made an appointment with the genious bar for tomorrow, but I'm curious to know if anyone knows what could be the cause. I think it may have overheated, but I really do not use this laptop much.
Thanks in advance for your help.

I think it may have overheated, but I really do not use this laptop much.
There could be many reasons. For one thing the MBP is NOT a laptop. It is a notebook. It should never be used on the lap nor should it's vents be blocked. According to the user manual it states in part:
"Do not operate your MacBook Pro on a pillow or other soft material, as the material can block the airflow vents. Never place anything over the keyboard when operating your MacBook Pro. Never push objects into the ventilation openings."
MacBook Pro: Care, Use, and Safety Information
"Do not place your MacBook Pro on your lap or other body surface for extended periods of time. Prolonged body contact can cause discomfort and potentially a burn."

Check your cable whether it is good. If it is use the wall plug to charge at least half an hour. See how it goes.

my ipod won't turn on, when a try to charge and turn on, have a symbol of battery empty. so what can I do?

- 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.

and
- 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 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.

Charged indicator seems to be stuck, ipod won't turn off!!! help

I took my ipod running last week and it got a little damp in my trousers!!
Since then it will not turn off anymore. I have let the battery die down. I have reset it on the ipod and on itunes, but nothing seems to help.
It just won't turn off, the charged sign (large battery with a plug in it) shows all the time.
If I leave if as it is over night, the battery is then dead.
Can anybody help me.
It's an ipod nano 1gen. not even 6 months old.

If it got wet, set it in a cool, dry place and leave it there for at least a week. Then connect it to power (preferably a wall charger) and let it charge for at least 30 minutes, then Reset it (hold down the menu and center buttons for at least 6 seconds). If it comes to life, connect it to your computer, Restore it in itunes, then let it fully charge.

My iPod won't turn on even when I plug it into my charger. I don't want to spend too much fixing it but I need to use it. Please help!!

IPod won't turn on, won't appear in windos or itunes. What's broken?

Pacient: 30gb video ipod
Age: 1 year
Symthoms: kinda dead...out of the blue! This ipod never moved in the last 1 year. it stayed in one fixed place, connected to the charger 27/7 and one day, it just stopped!
I tried as many of the R's as i could. I drained the battery (or i think i did), i charged it over night (if it charges)...nothing!
Won't restart (even though i hear/feel the hard drive spinning), won't be detected by my computer, or by my other computer, or by my friend's mac...
I changed the USB wire, ports, updated windows, iTunes...everything that cand be updated.
Few times i got the message "restore using iTunes" but i can't restore cause i don't see it in iTunes...
Where i live there's no Apple officil store, is out of the guaranty and i don't know what part to change if i decide to fix it myself.
Can anyone help?
Anyone with the same problem?
Thank you

My iPod won't turn on and it makes an eerie beeping noise

I took it to a Genius Bar yesterday and the iPod was working and today it went to its original state as the day i took it there and they said that it needed to be restored which it did and it was also to be charged for 5 hours, which it did, and they deleted everything in it. A lady blanked it out so it would work and now it doesnt.
when i put it in a charger(wall & Pc) it wont turn on and go to the pic with the apple on it. I tried reseting it and i cant restore it only at APPLE and I cant do it here on my PC.
Its not my Pc its on every charger in the apple store and all my friends house.

My iPod won't turn on and i've done everything

I was driving and my iPod fell of the dash board and onto the floor, and now it won't turn on. I got an iHome for Christmas and have been using it so I know my iPod is fully charged. I tried connecting it with the USB so I can use it on iTunes and charge it just in case and my computer says it doesn't recognize it. It doesn't appear under devices so I'm unable to restore it.
I've only had it for alittle over a year, what the heck is wrong?

Try these.
