iv tried everything and nothing is happening

If you've tried everything and you're still under warranty then your best bet is to just return it for a replacement. This happened with my 1G touch and Apple just gave me a new one.

ok gotta state the obvious........is it charged up?

maybe you left music playing and drained the batt

plug it in for a little bit and then try starting it up

IT WORKS

I just help the home button and the power button down for about 7 mins and it just made a funny bleep and went straight from black to the unlock screen.

Ow. Sore fingers? It was probably just yelling at you to stop holding its buttons down.

That wouldn't have been too bad; if you never ripped your CDs in a higher bit rate, it would have been the chance; if you bought you music off iTunes, they let you redownload. The world isn't that bad.

But good to know everything is working.
