iPod touch Ipod touch 4G Brick?

Hello, today i connected my iPod to the computer to play some music, all was fine, until iTunes crashed and i had to manually force close it through task manager, when i went back to my iPod, it was unresponsive, and since then i could not turn it on, windows wouldn't recognize it, nor would it charge; I've tried continuously to put t in recovery mode, no luck. I was wondering if anyone had any experience with this problem? and i know its charging because it gets warm at the back, so i don't know what to do, unless i need to replace my battery? thanks.

Update: I let the battery run out of juice, and all is fine, so glad to have my ipod back! thankyou!
