Ipod wont turn on nor charge

So it was just another normal day and my ipod was working just fine. I left it alone for about an hour and when I went to go look at it all it did was give me  black screen and it wont do anything. I've tried leaving it on the charger for a couple hours and it still wont turn on. my home button is stuck so I can hold that and the lock button together like many people have told me to do. I don't know how to fix it and I've only had it for a few months now. Any suggestions?

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 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.

  • Ipod wont turn on nor charge how do i fix this?

    ipod wont turn on nor charge how do i fix this?

    - First 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.
    - Next connect to your computer. If it shows in iTunes restore the iPOd
    - 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.

  • My ipod wont turn on or charge?

    I got my Ipod Touch 5th Generation a little over a year ago. Recently I have been having problems charging the ipod. I would plug in the cord to a power adapter but get no response. I would have to wiggle the charger while it is in the ipod or wait for a while before it would start charging. After it would start charging, I wouldn't touch it because it would stop charging if it was moved. However, a few days ago I could not charge my ipod at all, no matter what I tried. I removed some lint from the inside of the ipod's charger port and tried charging it but it would not charge. I plugged it into my computer to see if itunes would recognize it, but it wouldn't. I tried using different charger cables, but it didn't work. The battery died soon after, and I have been trying to get the ipod working again. I cant tell whether the cable or the port is the main problem, or if it is something else. When I plug in the ipod to any charger the screen wont turn on, but I can hear a very faint clicking sound coming from the ipod if I hold it up to my ear. I did notice that there was some build-up on the original charger's fourth pin from the left, and that there were light blue pieces inside the lint which looked like oxidized copper. I checked for any damage in the ipod's charger port and on the charger, but I found none. Is this something that can be fixed by replacing a part? Or is my Ipod gone for good?

    Have you tried to clean the port? Trim a few cotton swabs to fit the port place one drop of rubbing alcohol on each and blot almost dry as you use them. Then run the swab straight in and out of the port a few times until it comes out clean. Allow the port to dry and then attempt to charge. If still not charging contact Apple. Good luck.

  • My ipod wont turn on or charge a day after using after charging in the car

    Compaq Evo   Windows XP   NEED HELP PLEASE!

    I can almost guarantee that the guys at an Apple Store will replace your iPod for you... still, watch out for that car charger. I would bring both the warranty for your Nano & Car Charger to the store
    And if you do get a new Nano, make sure you plug it into your computer for 3 hours, to let it completely charge, then use it until the battery fully dies; after that, you can charge and use as you please.

    - 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.

    Error 1604
    This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
    If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
    Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode,put it into Recovery Mode.
    Restore and wait for the error.
    When prompted, click OK.
    Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
    The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
    Try to restore again.
    If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.
