Given the information supplied, it sounds very similar to what happened to my wife's 4. Locked up...came back on with a blank (bluish) screen...could here emails and text coming through. It would get very hot as well. Our local apple store tried two times to rescue it, ultimately rendering it complete inoperable. I'm sorry to say in our case we had to buy a refurb and trade in the phone for $150, which actually wasn't a bad deal.
There could be other information I'm missing, but I would start with seeing if apple can restore your phone. If they can't, then I'm pretty sure it's dead.

How to get rid of switch control on an iPod touch that home button isn't working and wifi is off.

My son has an iPod touch and his home button doesn't work on it. Because the home button didn't work he had the touch button on his screen to navigate through things. Last night he was out, shut his wifi off because there wasn't any wifi to connect too, and was fooling around with his iPod. Somehow he enabled switch control on his iPod, then it shut down and now can't get into it because the touch home button has disappeared, wifi still isn't connected and home button doesn't work.
We tried rebooting it and wiping it remotely, but because there isn't wifi, we can't connect. Also, it's password protected and we can't get into it from the computer because of the switch control.
Please help if you can. He's had it for two years and is feeling pretty down today, it took him a long time to save up and buy it.
Thank you so much.

Place the iPod in recovery mode using one of these programs and then restore via iTunes:

IPod Touch 4G Home button doesn't work

I bought my iPod Touch 4G in January of 2011, so I've had it for a little over a year now.
Recently, the home button has been finicky (I had to press it repeatedly for it to respond sometimes) and today it stopped working all together. I restored it, hoping that it was the iPod itself, but it still doesn't work. It's not stuck or anything, because I'm able to press it all the way down.
If I were to take it into the Apple store, would I have to pay to have it fixed (I never bought a warranty)? I've never dropped it or anything either.

Try this previous discussion:

Apple does not repair your iPod. They will exchange yours for a refurbished one for $99, $149 or $199 depending upon the capacity.

2nd gen ipod touch sleep/wake button will not work

Like the title says, the sleep/wake button (top button) doesn't work on my 2nd gen ipod touch. In short, I can't put it into sleep mode (I have to wait the one minute), turn it off to save the battery, take screenshots, or even reset it (without iTunes, anyways).
I don't have any guesses on why it's not working. It just stopped working one day. I don't see water damage (via the water damage detector in the earbud jack), and I don't think I dropped it in a way that would harm it (unless dropping it on carpet counts).
I should also mention that randomly, one day after school, I was messing with it, and the button worked. I think the battery had died, and I managed to turn it on then. It worked for a few hours (I charged the battery), and then it went back to not working.
The warranty's up (and I'm broke), so I can't repair it. I also want to point out that the problem started not long after the warranty expired. What, at this point, is my best option? Should I just save up for the newest model? Or would it be cheaper and more efficient to save up just enough for a repair? Any other options I should consider?
Thanks in advance.

As I said, you can move on to Restore. Backup everything then Restore as New. Restoring from backup would just copy whatever software issue you may have. But it sure looks more and more like a hardware problem. Take a close look at the button to see if perhaps some dirt particles are stuck there.
You can also make an appointment with a Gnius at the nearest Apple store to have it diagnosed. Apple does not fix iPods, they just replace them with refurbished units, so it won't be cheap. Prices are here: http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/prices/
You can Google for third part repair hops or do-it-yoursel kits.
Good luck.

My ipod touch start/reset button does not work and the ipod is stuck on the apple restarting logo. what can i do?

.

If that does not work, try the other actions specified here:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on

The home button is not working, does anyone know how to fix it?

how can I make the home button work?

I do not know with a iP4. But with iPhone 3G and 3GS, the Home Button circuitry that is used for a typical press to return to Home Screen is different than used to Reset, Enter Recovery, or DFU. So a Reset could still help. Anyway along the lines of your thinking, it would still be better to Restart the iPhone, here you would just be using the Power button. The Restart could even get the Home button to respond again. So the best advice maybe for any iPhone problem would be as often stated on this Forum.....
Restart, Reset, Restore and then last resort before throwing iPhone in trash, DFU Restore.

TS2634 My Ipod Touch fell and cracked. It works but, can I get it fixed?

My Ipod Touch fell on cement and now, It is not looking in good shape..It cracked. So, i was wondering if i could find some answers. Can i get it fixed or do i need to buy a new one and lose all my progress?

If it works, make a backup. Go to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > Back Up Now (assuming you have iOS 5.0 or later; if not, let us know).
Technically, you don't need to buy a new one. You get a discounted rate for an out-of-warranty replacement iPod since this type of damage is not covered under the warranty. For exact pricing, see: http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/prices/
You do not lose your progress if you have a backup.

Verizon does not fix/repair/replace devices.
Apple provides all hardware support in the US.
Take it to Apple for evaluation and possible replacement.
FYI, they do not fix devices, so backup your device prior to going to the store.
