Nano won't turn on or respond to my computer

I just got a replacment nano for my old nano on monday. It worked fine, until today when I went to turn it on it didn't respond at all. I toggled the hold switch and held the center button and nothing happened. I plugged it into my computer and my computer doesn't even pick up on it. Can anyone help me with this problem? I would appreciate any comments.
Thanks!
Windows XP

Try holding the MENU and SELECT (center) buttons until you see the Apple logo to reset it.
Cheers!

Please respond i'm desperate

Have you tried connecting to iTunes to be restored? You may need to manually place the iPod into Disk Mode first so that it is recognized by both your Windows OS and iTunes.

It's broken due to neglect, namely being dropped. Replace it.

7th gen iPod nano won't turn on after disconnect.

7th gen iPod nano won't turn on after disconnect. I loaded some new music, synced and ejected correctly. screen went black on unplug. Waited, did the button trick, didn't work. plugged it back in & it is recognized immediately. restored, resynced & ejected again. same thing-black screen w/ no response. Charged it overnight. ejected, screen then went to language setting. OK for English, eject & back to black on unplug. Switched ports for cable, tried eject thru PC...all resulting in dead nano after unplug. I really don't want to charge into the store & take it out on the poor kid who will catch the brunt of my frustration. anyone have a suggestion?

Hello Marie,
I would be concerned too if my iPod nano was not powering on. I found an article for the 6th generation iPod nano that has steps you can take for an issue like this (the only difference for the 7th generation iPod nano is the steps you will take for the reset. I included the steps to reset a 7th generation iPod nano below):
Will not turn on or screen remains dark
Connect iPod to power for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has enough charge to allow iPod to turn on.
If iPod does not turn on after ten minutes, try resetting the device while it is still connected to power. Reset the iPod by holding down the Sleep/Wake button and the Volume Down button for at least eight seconds or until you see the Apple logo appear.
If the Apple logo appears on the display, connect iPod to a computer and verify that it appears in iTunes and can play music. If iPod appears in iTunes and can play music, no further troubleshooting is needed.
If the screen remains dark and will not turn on, then your iPod may need service.
You can find the full article here:
iPod nano (6th generation): Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3474
All the steps apply to the 7th generation except the steps for the reset. To reset a 7th generation iPod nano, use these steps:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button for six seconds, or until the screen goes dark. The Apple logo appears after a few seconds, and then the Home screen. You may need to repeat this step.
I got these steps from this tutorial, which may also help with your iPod not appearing in iTunes:

my ipod nano won't turn on and I've tried restoring it. received error message 1437 after it tried restoring itself.

My ipod nano won't turn on!

My ipod nano won't turn on. I have tried restarting and resetting it. I have tried plugging it into two different computers and both times it just kept blinking the apple logo. It's not on hold. My warranty is expired. Do I need to get it repaired or replaced, or is there something I can do?

my ipod nano won't trun off either sometimes.. when that happens i have to hit play and have it play a song for a couple of seconds and then do the thing to turn it off andfthen it turns off.

My nano won't turn off, and it is frozen on one screen?

My nano won't turn off, and it is frozen on one screen?

Could it be something as simple as the Hold switch got turned on? I would try resetting it.
This will work for Nano's generation 1-5.
Toggle the Hold switch on and off. (Slide it to Hold, then turn it off again.)
Press and hold the Menu and Center (Select) button simultaneously until the Apple logo appears, about 6-8 seconds. You may need to repeat this step.
For a 6th Generation:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and Volume Down button simultaneously for 8-12 seconds or until the Apple logo appears. You may need to repeat this step.
For a 7th Generation:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home Button until the screen goes dark. The Apple logo should appear after a few seconds, then the Home screen should appear.

I haven't used my iPod touch 4g in a while and now it won't turn on or connect to my computer to charge.

I haven't used my iPod touch 4g in a while and now it won't turn on or connect to my computer to charge. holding power+home isn't working either. i've had it plugged in for a while, but i'm pretty sure that's pointless if it won't even connect....help?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

you might have to restore your ipod. you need to turn off your ipod and then hold down the home button while plugging it in to your computer (dont turn it on just hold down the home button).

My phone is doing the same thing. My computer acknowledges that I have connected my iPhone 4, however, iTunes will no longer connect or sync to my iPhone 4. I have uninstalled iTunes, Bonjour and all Apple products from my pc. I have re-installed them back on. I have reset my phone. I have emptied my temp folder. I have done everything. If my iPhone cannot update and sync with iTunes then I may as well get another phone from somewhere else. I am disappointed that I cannot resolve this issue.
Rebeccaspe31, were you able to resolve your issue? If so how?
