My iPod nano will not turn on no matter what I do.

I tried holding the play button to turn it on. I tried charging it for a couple of hours. I tried resetting it. I tried plugging it into my computer. None of this made it turn on or even make a flicker of light. What should i do?

The iPod will need to be serviced, to determine the exact fault and repair it (if possible).  You can get the current 7th gen iPod nano as an Apple-certified refurb for $99 (with a one-year warranty)

so the cost to repair your nano may not be economical.  If you are the good at such things, this web site has DIY repair guides

Be sure to rule out the other possibilities.  If you have an Apple Store nearby, you can make a reservation at the store's Genius Bar and take it there (along with your docking cable).

  • Ipod Nano will not turn off

    My ipod nano will not power off. Even the sleep button does not work. I have reset everal times. Any thoughts?

    I've been through 4 of those R's, as well as the Quick Fix and about 5 hours on the phone with Apple. It will now turn off, but it is still not visible to iTunes and the iPod updater won't run because it also can't see the iPod. Windows sees it just fine, so now I'm awaiting a 3-5 day response from an Apple engineer about what is wrong. This all started when I installed the 6.0 update. I'm now back to the older software, but it still won't reconize my iPod, so therefore will not update it with new songs, etc.
    Thanks for your reply.

    If your iPod is still under warranty, you might want to take the iPod to an Apple Store, or send it in for service:

  • Ipod will not turn on no matter what. Please relpy? Urgent

    Hi,
    My ipod mini is not turning in. I cannot reset it because whenever I press the menu button, nothing happens. I have tried charging it yet it's not working. I has not been dropped or damaged.

    Did you let it charge for a while? That symbol is telling you the battery needs to be charged.

  • My iPod Nano will not turn on.  The screen is always dark.

    For no apparent reason, my 4th Generation Nano stopped working.  The screen is dark and when I attempt to plug it in to my computer, iTunes does not 'see' it.  It will not take a charge if I plug it directly into the wall.  Is there a way to reset it or am I missing something other than bringing it to an Apple store?

    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.

  • My Ipod nano will not turn on

    Yesterday mt Ipod nano was working, today it has no power, will not charge and even when plugged into my computer, Itunes does not acknowledge it.  I think it must kaput.  It is only 3 months old, it wasn't dropped or anything.  Any suggestion?

    i am having the same issue have tried holding down the power button to reset but it isn't even bringing up the loading circle let alone the apple logo, the last time i used my ipod it was fully charged as well. this is frustrating as i got this for a christmas present due to my last one wouldn't hold it's charge it would fully charge then last 5 mins and die. (it is 2 years old though). my computer doesn't read the nano 7th gen and tells me that is an unknown device and to reset it and if this doesn't work to replace it.

  • My 7th generation iPod nano will not turn on or be recognized by my computer.

    I have plugged it into my computer. Nothing. Blank. Computer says it can't read the USB.
    I update the version of iTunes. Nothing. Blank.
    I hold the power button. Guess what? Nothing. Blank.
    I've only had this iPod for a couple weeks, and I have not had any problems before.

    If this is the case, I suggest you return the unit and ask for a replacement. Cheers!

  • IPod nano will not turn on, charge, reset, anything

    I charged my ipod for 2 or 3 days, because I forgot about it. Then when I got it off the charger it would not do anything. I also noticed that I had left my earbuds in the headphone jack during that time as well. Did this ruin my ipod? I've tried resetting it several times, charging it up and then resetting it and nothing happens! Is my ipod done or is there something else I can try?

    It very well sounds like the iPod's is completely shot, no longer able to build or retain any sort of charge.  Might be a good time to start saving for a new one.
    As for the paid music, you should be able to download most of it again at no cost via iCloud.  See this article for more information and assistance.

  • IMac shut down and will not turn on no matter what I try...help!

    I am hoping that someone can help me. I have a 20", 2.0GHz Intel Core 2 Duo iMac that was purchased late 2007. A few days ago, it shut down on it's own during normal computer use and it won't turn back on since.
    I have searched through the boards and most people recommend resetting the SMC, SMU and pulling out/placing back in the memory. I have tried all of those as well as using a brand new power cord but none have worked. I have also seen recommendations to reset the PRAM but since the computer has to be on to do that, unfortunately, I can't try it.
    Has anyone else had this issue? Does anyone have any suggestions? Any help will be greatly appreciated!
    Thank you in advance!

    Hi and welcome.....
    I have also seen recommendations to reset the PRAM but since the computer has to be on to do that
    Not sure where you found that information but that is not the case. The Mac must be shut down in order to reset the PRAM. Follow the instructions here...

  • Iphone 4 will not turn on no matter what!

    This happened friday. I was playing a game. Locked my phone 5 min later went to check it and it wouldnt turn on!!! I did the lock/home key for 3 min. I charged it all night last night. I had it connected to the computer thinking itunes would somehow recognize it after an hour. It was connected to the computer for 16 hours. It doesnt even show that its charging. Nothing i mean nothing comes up. Not the silver apple not the lightning bolt not even itunes shows it. I took it to at&t and they couldnt fix it i went to apple and they said they couldnt find anything wrong with it. It just refuses to turn on. I need that data on that phone. Does anyone have something they tried that works. I know "if apple says they cant fix it well ur screwed" well ive taken things to apple that they couldn't fix yet i could by doing something odd. My iphone 3gs home button and lock button and touch screen wouldnt work. Apple couldnt fix it. Yet i could by charging it taking out the sim holding lock/home and having someone call me at the same time. So i trust this more than apple. Does anyone have an idea or something that worked for them?

    Attempt to hardware restart (Hold the hoe button and the sleep/wake button at the same time until you receive the Apple logo) the device again while connected to the wall charger. If this still does not resolve the issue attempt to leave it connected for at least 20 minutes and attempt the hardware restart again. If the issue continues you device may need repair and you should take it to an Apple Retail Store or contact AppleCare at 1-800-692-7753. Hope this helps.

      Hi , Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have read about your HP TouchSmart Notebook and getting a blank or black screen on startup. Try performing a hard reset.
    When performing a hard reset please note remove any and all USB devices. Disconnect all non-essential devices.
    Here is a link to computer won't start for Windows 8. Plug the power adapter directly into a functioning wall outlet. Do not plug it into a power strip, surge protector, or secondary power source as this could cause and issue. Please let me know how this goes. Thanks.

    Doesn't sound good...
    The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:
    Restart... Reset... Restore from Backup...  Restore as New...
    If you try all these steps and you still have issues... Then a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is the Next Step...
    Be sure to make an appointment first...
