My Ipod touch 5 Ios 8.1.2 will not turn on

This question has been asked before ut my case is different.
I have had my Ipod since June 2013 and it has been working Ok for the year and a half I have owned it.
About five days ago I clicked the home button and I got an odd click, and from then on I would need to press the home button very hard in order for it to work. the lock button still wortked fine, so I turned on assistive touch.
Latlely (the past two weeks) my Ipod has blanked out and I would have to restart it again by holding down the home button and the sleep button for ten seconds to turn it back on.
Today I set it down, it was working fine nothing out of the ordinary, I walk away and when I come back maybe 20 minutes later it won't turn on. I try to do a full restart (which is tough because of the home button being damaged) and it doesnt turn on. I plug it into the computer and it won't turn on, the computer doesn't even reconize it. I have tried to put it into rwcovery mode, but nothing is happeneing.
Please help!
Thanks.

To put your device into recovery mode, follow these steps:
Turn off your device and leave it off.
Plug in your device's USB cable to a computer with iTunes.
Hold down the Home button on your device as you connect the USB cable. Keep holding down the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
When you see this screen, release the Home button. If you don't see this screen, try steps 1 through 3 again.
When your device is connected, iTunes will open. You'll see a message saying that iTunes has detected an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch in recovery mode.
Use iTunes to restore your device. Restoring in recovery mode will erase your device. If you previously synced with iTunes or iCloud, you might be able to restore from your backup.

  • HT201263 My 4th gen ipod touch is 6 mos old and will not turn on

    My 4th gen ipod touch is 6 mos old. Tried to turn on today and nothing.  Plugged into computer held down sleep/wake button and plugged into computer with usb.  Nothing.  It has not been dropped or bumped.  It has been stored as I don't use it often only to play music on spotify thru internet.  I probably haven't used this ipod more than 20 times.  Any suggestions?

    - After being connected to a charging source for at least an hour see if placing the iPod in Recovery mode will allow a restore.
    - If not successful time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • My ipod touch keeps flashing the logo and will not turn on nor does the computer recognizes it.

    If not successful and you can't turn the iPod completely off let the battery fully drain. After charging for at least of hour try again.
    If still not successful then time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

    Disabled
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
    iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes       
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:           
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.
    If you previously synced to the computer then you may be able to recover use of the iPod without erasing the iPod by following the instructions here:
