My ipod touch is not turning on or charging! Any Suggestions?

After upgrading my iPod touch to iOs5 it is not turning on or charging. Everytime I try to turn it on or charge it, it goes to the screen of death (white blank screen) and after ten minutes it goes to the black screen it does this  over and over!!! Im highly devasted it hasn't been working for a week now . any suggestions of what i should ?

Without knowing what you actually tried:
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 touch will not turn on or charge, and there is NO WAY to find the serial number to sort it out

    Does anybody know what I can do in this situation?
    I've had the ipod touch for over 3 years, was given as a gift, has never been badly damaged or anything.
    It just won't charge at all -  I have tried leaving it plugged into the computer for hours, trying different cables. I left it plugged into the wall overnight, and still the dead battery icon is the only thing that comes up.
    I have tried resetting and restarting it but nothing's happened. I've tried contacting Apple for support but they can't do anything without my serial number - which is too faded on the back of the product to make out. Obviously I can't find the serial number on the device as it won't turn on, I don't have any packaging for it left, and it won't connect to iTunes either. I've also looked at my devices in iTunes to try find it but it's not there.
    Basically, I've tried pretty much everything the internet has suggested and it's not getting me anywhere.
    I have no idea why this is happening and right now I'm at a deadend so please let me know if you have any further advice you can offer. Thank you!

  • Somewhat wet Ipod Touch 5g not turning on or charging?

    Today I had my Ipod Touch 5th generation in a fabric bag, and the bag got poured on by the rain. My Ipod was only a little wet, so I dried it off and it worked just fine. Then, I put it back in the (somewhat wet) bag. About 3 hours later I tried turning it on, and nothing happened. So I put it on the charger and for a split second it showed the low battery symbol, then it went away. It hasnt done anything for 5 hours. Does anyone know what I can do? Thanks in advance.
    Note: I downloaded IOS7 a few days ago but have had no problem with it.

    Note: I have tried hard resetting it as well, no luck.

  • IPod touch will not turn on unless charged

    Hi,
    I have reset my iPod, tried turning off and on again dozens of times but every single time I tried to open an app or attempt to play music when it isn't connected to my computer or plugged it shuts off and will not turn back on until I charge it again.
    It is 100% charged and every time I take it off charge to turn on, the startup logo appears and switches itself off.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                                                                
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.             
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • IPod Touch 4G Not Turning On or Connecting to iTunes

    I have no idea why, but my iPod Touch will not turn on. When I press the Home button, it will show the low power screen (but only when connected to a USB cable). Holding Home does nothing. Holding Home and whatever the button on the top is results in a brief white flash, then it goes completely black. It won't show up in iTunes, and I've tried everything I can find on Apple's Support pages. I've tried plugging the iPod in both before and after starting up iTunes, I've tried holding the Home button down before plugging it into the USB cable, and I've tried changing where the USB cable is plugged into the computer (despite it being the same port I've used for the past four months, with no real problems).
    I'm not sure what, if anything, else I can do, but any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I'd tried soft-resetting several times (had a similar thing happen before, and that always worked). Don't know why, but I tried holding the Home button while plugging in the USB cable today (had tried it yesterday, with no luck, but I figured why not try again) and it seems to have worked. Read in another post about it shutting off for about 24 hours because of processor overload, but since I usually don't have more than one app running at a time, even in the background, I didn't think that could be it. Clearly I was wrong. Thanks for the assistance, though.

  • Ipod Touch will not turn on, recognize itunes and fully function.

    My Ipod Touch will not turn on, recognize itunes and fully function. When it does, once in a blue moon, after 5 minutes it freezes. I am wondering if its becuase battery was left dead for 2 weeks or problems with the iOS. Resetting does not help.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Hi,
    Try a Reset
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    The Apple logo will Appear and then Disappear...
    Usually takes about 10 - 15 Seconds...
    Turn the iPod On...
    If that does not help... See Here:

  • Ipod touch will not turn on and is not reading in the usb port

    ipod touch will not turn on or connect to my computer

    I just had a similar problem and tried all of the reboot techniques with no success. I knew it had to be a connection issue inside the iPod, and grasping at straws, I sprayed a little WD-40. I dried it off and let it sit overnight. Today at lunch I plugged it in to my wall charger and it began charging.
    ***FYI I know they don't recommend spraying WD-40 on your iPod, but it was a last resort for me. I was at the point of paying to send it in for repairs or throwing it away. I wouldn't try this unless you are ready to throw yours away too.

  • My ipod touch will not turn on, i pluged it up to my computer to charge but it wont charge. and plus its battery was already full. why wont it turn on??

    So one day is was laying next to my ipod touch and i tried to turn it on but it wouldnt. so then i pluged it up to my computer to charge but it didnt charge, the computer didnt pick up the divice. so now my ipod touch will not turn on, and i have no idea why. PLEASE HELP.

    mine did the same thing. What I did was hold the home and power button down for 10 seconds but that did not work. I figured out that I just had to hold them down for a long time like 15 to 45 seconds. Then it finally turned on. You may have to do it a couple of time. But if this does not work send it in to the apple company they fixed mine completly free they even sent me a box to send it in. I hope my answer helps you fix it.

  • 2nd Generation iPod touch will not turn on

    My 2nd Generation iPod touch will not turn on.  I have held the lock button down for up to 30 seconds and it remains a black screen.  When I put it on the charger, the screen usually shows the battery amount, but it will not do that either.  I checked the battery about 10 minutes before it began this, and it was about 75% charged.  There is no way it could be dead.  It will not even show the apple, as if it were powering on.

    - Connect the iPod to your computer.  If iTunes sees the iPod restore the iPod.
    - Next see if resetting the iPod will make the iPod visible so you can restore 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 see if recoverymode  will make the iPod visible.  For recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
