My iPod touch doesn't appear to be pwoering on or charging.
I got it last Christmas 2010 and was last using it during Christmas 2011. I hadn't had any issues with it up until this point (though coverflow kept crashing after upgrading to IOS 5).
Over the Christmas break I misplaced my power cable and so haven't charged it since then.
I ordered a replacement cable from Amazon. This didn't appear to charge the device. I was assuming it was just a problem cable but I've since found my original cable and this doesn't charge the device either.
I've tried plugging the cable into a usb port on a few different machines and directly into a wall adapter charger.
For all of these the screen stays blank and pressing the power and / or home button doesn't do anything. I've left the device charging for a period of time but it doesn't appear to be working.
I can try to book a visit to a genius bar in the hope that they'll look at it (I don't have Apple Care on the device and it was bought through a third party supplier)? It's in another city though so I was aiming to troubleshoot as best I can before hand in case I can fix this without the visit.

It worked for my iPod a few months ago. The only other thing I can suggest is to plug in your iPod and leave it plugged in for a while. Once when my iPod battery ran out and I didn't bother charging it for a few days, when I finally did get around to it, for the first 15 minutes or so it didn't seem to be charging.
