Mini Ipod won't turn on! Reset not working! Help!

I had not charged my ipod since I was away from home. Got home and plugged the USB into the Ipod. Next morning, noticed the Ipod blinking the apple sign and it would not turn on. I let the Ipod drain for 2 days. Now it's no longer blinking the Apple sign when I plug in the USB, but now it will show any sign of life at all. When USB plugged, I hear a soft beeping noise from the Ipod. Tried resetting Ipod holding Menu and Select for 6-10 seconds several times, no luck. Tried updating the Ipod, but it's not recognizing Ipod when it's plugged in (It says to plug in Ipod, when it already is plugged in). I restarted PC 2x and plugged USB into all three different ports. USB ports working since I can transfer pictures from my digital camera using the USB ports. HELP! What else can I try before I take into an Apple store? I didn't pruchase it at Apple, rather, I purchased it at Circuit City less than 6 months ago. I can't go through the service on line since it's not recognizing my serial number.

thanks!! i tried that this past weekend and i thought it worked. i didn't get home yet so i couldn't update my ipod. so i attempted to use it. it worked for awhile and then during some songs it will say the battery is dead and die on me. i tried resetting it but it didn't work. it was fully charged, and now it won't turn on. this time, no blinking apple sign, but when i plug it in to my usb, it makes that same sound. i don't have an ac charger and used my sisters. so now, i guess i have to try again? any other ideas? they are greatly appreciated!

My Ipod won't turn on. (7thg) PLEASE HELP ME!!

7th generation, no known damage done too it.
it worked fine, untill up to a couple of days ago.
it won't turn on, and it won't reset. It still connects to the computer fine, but thats it. it still syncs, and i've tried resetting it through itunes. it didn't work. the second it's unplugged, the screen goes black and completely unresponsive. it won't play music. I don't live near any apple stores. can anyone help me?

the second it's unplugged, the screen goes black and completely unresponsive.
Possible battery damage or unusable.
My suggestion is to check through here:

If nothing works, then you may have no choice but to go to an Apple Store. If it comes down to that, make an appointment with the Genius Bar.

Ipod won't turn on/reset

I went to turn my ipod on earlier today and it turned on briefly and then the screen slowly faded to nothingness. Later, I tried to reset it and I got the apple logo (with no backup light) for a few seconds but then that died. I tried to reset it again and got nothing. My computer (Windows XP) does not recognize the ipod either. I have also tried the 5 R's and they did not help. Also after looking at the apple support page, it mentioned something about charging the ipod. So I also tried this (although it did not respond when plugged in) and left it there for about a half an hour. Then I realized that my ipod was really hot, so I unplugged it. Now I am getting no response from it once more. Anyone have any suggestions?

I'm having a similar problem, only mine won't turn OFF. I have 2 computers...Macbook Pro and a Powerbook...normally both would recognize it when I plug it in the USB but neither will now. It's been frozen for several hours now. I tried plugging it into the wall charger, nothing. The light stays on and it won't do anything.

IPod won't turn on, reset, or anything!! Please help!

I've had my ipod nano 2nd gen for a little over 3 years now, & it has never given me any problems at all. The other day, however, I had my ipod plugged in to my computer for a few hours, & it seemed to be working fine. My ipod takes about 1hr to charge, & I've only let it completely die a couple of times. The next day, I got on the computer & routinely I plugged it in, but the "Do not disconnect" screen didn't pop up, so I tried resetting it. The apple sign showed up, but the light didn't turn on, so I reset it again, & my computer finally recognized it. I left it to charge for a good 3 hours. Next day, same thing happens, but I finally get it on the home screen & it says the battery is dead, which makes no sense.
Now it won't turn on at all, it won't reset, it won't show me ANYTHING, not even that the battery is dead. My computer won't recognize it, either. I've tried resetting it countless times. I don't know what to do, can anybody help out? Am I just doomed?

Hello choiecakes,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
Sounds like your iPod's battery may be toast especially considering it's probably more than a couple of years old given that it is a 2G Nano, which have been out on the market for quite some time now. You can opt to have Apple replace the battery for a hefty price, a third party repair company, or do it yourself using instructions on the web.
Hope this helps.

Sleep/Wake button SUNK IN. iPod won't turn on if not synced.

After leaving iPod on bed for an hour, the home button was already sunked in.
At first it was stuck in disk mode but then it won't turn on.
If you sync it, it would work.
If you remove it, NOTHING.

No much you can really do for this one other than schedule an appointment at your local Apple Store/Genius Bar and see if there is anything they can do for you. If they deem it to be accidental damage, you'll need to pay the repair/replacement fee if you so desire, always I'm afraid you are out of luck.

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.

Mini ipod menu and play buttons are not working

My ipod menu button has not worked now for a few months. I can't get back to my main playlist and choose certain things, I just have to listen to the all the songs. Now the play button is not working either, its working to turn on-play-pause, but not to turn it off. So it stays on till the battery goes dead. Help Please-anything!!

See this.
How to reset the iPod if it appears frozen or doesn't respond.
It may take quite a few attempts and is best done connected to power.
If this doesn't work, try restoring the iPod to factory settings.
However, it seems as if it may be a hardware problem and need service.

IPod Classic, component cables, TV, does not work, help...

I just bought the nifty Apple component cables for my 160GB iPod Classic and it is not sending video properly to my TV. I plug my DVD player component inputs into the TV, it works. I plug the iPod Classic component inputs in and I get sound but a black & white, swirly, barely distinguishable image.... and yes, I have triple checked that the cords are correct, and tried changing them around.
Could someone shed some light on this? I plugged the component cable set directly into the iPod, so its not a dock issue, and I checked that the iPod is set to NTSC...

i figured it out a while ago

My ipod screen just turned blank white randomly and now it won't turn off/reset or connect to the computer... need help

my screen just turned blank white randomly and now it won't turn off/reset or connect to a computer or really do anything... need help.

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.
- 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 won't turn on except in car adapter

I have an Ipod with colour display and a Road Trip car adapter. The Ipod works fine in the car, but won't turn on when not in the adapter. I can't reset it or do anything outside of the adapter because it simply won't turn on. Note: Battery is fully charged (when in the car).
I tried resetting it when in the car adpater, but that didn't work.
Any ideas?

No. I have tried to cables - and confirmed they work on another Ipod.
