My itouch 5g won't charge or even turn on... Help please

I have a 5th gen itouch. And it's been working perfectly fine until this morning. The battery died last night so I plugged it in to charge and nothing happened. I simply thought I just broke my cable so I plugged it into several others that belonged to friends an none of them would charge it. I went out and bought a new cable as still nothing. The only things that shows up is the black screen and battery symbols telling you to connect to charger. I've read everything about what you should check. I've checked the contacts and everything appears fine. The cable is new and I've tried connecting it to different sources. Should I just bring it in to an apple store? Or is there any other way I can get it to turn on?

- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- Try another charging source. Not clear you did this
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

You can try drying it out internally by wrapping the unit in a paper towel and putting it in a bag with a dessicant safe for electronics such as silica gel pellets, or failing that in a bag of dry, uncooked rice, for a few days. It's very probable that it's been permanently damaged, but it's possible that if you dry it out, it may then work. If after a few days in the bag it still has problems, then you'll need to pay to get it exchanged (by Apple) or repaired (by a third-party repair service) or buy a new iPhone.
Good luck.

Hi, my iphone 4s shuts down randomly, Apple told me the phone is fine, I did a 2nd restore, deactivated iCloud, and no the frequency of shutting down is even more, any help please ?

Hi, my iphone 4s ios 6.0.1 shuts down randomly, Apple told me the phone & battery are fine as it holds a charge, I did a 2nd restore, deactivated iCloud, and now the frequency of shutting down is even more, any help please ?

It's almost impossible to say whether it's the battery or something else. If you're running 6.0.1 and you've done a restore and set it up as new, there are no other software updates to try.
If there's no Apple Store near you, contact Apple Care. If you can't wait for a replacement phone, you may be able to get an express replacement (they ship you the replacement before you ship them yours, but they will put a hold on your credit card until yours is in their hands).

Zen Micro battery won't charge, can't turn on MP3 pla

Hey guys,
I;ve bought a Creative Zen Micro 5GB, 3 weeks ago and it was working GREAT...until now. I was using it one night until the battery completely drained off and the Zen Micro turned off by itself. The icon "LOW BATTERY" flashed for a few seconds and the unit basically shuts down.
I tried to plug-in the USB 2.0 cable provided by Creative into a PC USB 2.0 port
. the MP3 player wouldn't start up. The blue light glowed, followed up by the intro 'Creative' screen and then it died off. That happens everytime i plugged the unit into a USB port.
2. On the upper right screen on the unit, it showed that power is supplied by the USB port (battery + electric symbol flashing), but the battery wouldn't charge up and I can't turn it on either
My questions are:
a) Since the battery is dead flat, wont the unit still run/function normally if its plugged to a PC USB2.0 port?
b) Why does my Zen Micro die off a few seconds after it's been plugged on to USB?
c) Can't the PC USB power supply charge up my MP3 player battlery?
Please help,
Cheers.

I'm having the same problem, but in my case i didn't run out of battery, i used it last friday and it showed it had one bar left of battery, this morning (monday) i wanted to use it and it wouldnt turn on.

I need help, this is the second Zen micro i have, the first one came defecti've so i returned it.

Iphone 5 wont charge or turn on help please

my iphone 5 wont charge I tried everything to turn it back on. It was working one minute but then I went to go use it and it wouldn't turn on, 10 hours later and it STILL won't turn on. It was fully charged, but I charged it some more just in case - didn't work. Then, I plugged it into my computer while holding the home button down in order to update/restore it. It updated but never restored, and after that it STILLLLL won't turn on. I then tried holding the home and lock button down together for a few minutes in order to restart it, yet it still won't turn on. It is getting extremely frustrating at this point. I googled any other solutions to this problem, but all of the solutions I've basically already tried, and ended up never working.
Help, please?!

My Macbook won't turn on (HELP please)

I got a new MacBook Pro recently, and through idiocy and excitement, I forgot to properly shut down my old MacBook whilst using my new macbook pro. I have had the new laptop for about two weeks, and I'd left the previous one on sleep.
I figured the battery had just died, so I left it on charge for a few hours, hoping it would charge enough to turn on.
however I tried to turn it on about two hours later, and it still wouldn't turn on. the battery light has been steadily green. I checked the battery bit on the bottom of the laptop and the apple support bit says that if it flashes one light green for five seconds that it means the battery hasn't charged enough yet. but the charger light hasn't been amber.
what do I do? I really hope I haven't broken my laptop.

Have you tried holding your power button down for at least 10 seconds and letting go?

That means you must sync it with a computer running the latest version of iTunes.

My macbook pro won't recognise HP C4480 scanner. Help please.

My new macbook pro won't accept my scanner. I have a C4480 photosmart printer and it will print from my macbook but when i try to scan, it says unknown error. I have installed from HP CD and from HP website but makes no difference. Help please. Thank you.

I also have this problem. My MacBook alays has trouble recognizing HP printers and scanners and I allways have to restart programs and reboot the laptop in order to scan with HP scanners.
However with the C4480 it just does not work it doesn't seem to matter how many times I reboot.
HP Products suck on the Mac. And tech support doesn't seem to have any answers.

My iPad is dead, won't charge, won't even turn on. Please HELP?

My iPad was at 73% when I took a walk earlier it was hooked up to the charger, the screen was off, and nothing could've happened to it. Once I came back home my iPad was completely dead and wouldn't turn back on. I've tried the 2 button method and it hasn't worked. Nothing has worked, it's still not turning on and it's been doing this for 3 hours now. I've had my iPad since I was 13, I'm 16 now and really don't need it having to be comepletely reset. Too many memories to lose. Please, somebody help me?

Hi, summer.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I understand that your iPad will not power on. Here is a troubleshooting article that I would recommend going through for this issue.
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on
Keep in mind that the step referencing Forced Recovery will wipe your data, so verify if you have a backup via the second article below.
Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iCloud or iTunes
