The USB cord might be faulty, try using another one.

Put it in a ziploc bag with some ice and check on it in 12 hours, it'll be fine.

I think you mean in a bag with some RICE...

This is a solution for devices that have been immersed in water. Unless that is the case here, I don't know that this will help...

It won't help either way, I was being sarcastic :)

Put it in a bag with ice and rice. Then clamp it with a vice. ;)

Tried that, turn it on and off and use 3 different cords on different computers. Any other suggestions?

I had a similar problem. I brought it to the apple store and they said it was faulty. It was within warrante so they replaced it. I guess something went wrong when instaling the inital firmware.

Looks like you need to reinstall itunes.

I've gotten that error when trying to downgrade my 1st gen touch from 3.0 to 1.1.x. What firmware are you restoring to?
