iPod touch iPod Touch suddenly doesn't power on... :/

[MarkCooz]

Alright so here's how it goes.

I was playing baseball slugger, like last night at around 1 30 AM EST.
and I left it charging after I used it, i swear everything was plugged in.
before i left the room I saw the light come on, i even turned the brightness up.

and today I woke up, then around noon i took the ipod. I tried waking it up from sleep, nothing happens.

what's wrong??

and whenever I tried charging it through my macbook, it doesn't show up

I tried charging through the wall charger nothing comes up

anyone knows what happened here?

Hold down the home/lock buttons until it turns on. It should fix the problem.

if what the guy above me said does not work still try going out side or under bright light and see if you can see the screen really dimly, if so then the backlight died.

 

[MarkCooz]

thanks for the tip guys. I'll try both of them tomorrow when i wake up. it's like 2 AM EST.
so it's really late.
haha

I'll give you guys some feedback weather it's fixed or not.

This happened on my touch right after upgrading to 3.0 and jmann's description worked for me.

 

[MarkCooz]

Okay so i've definitely tried everything the light and the home and power button

nothing, it just doesn't work anymore :/

I tried charging it on my macbook, nothing
wall charger nothing

what do you think is wrong?

 

[Mystic Eddy]

Very strange. Could be that the battery's given up the ghost. What generation do you have?

 

[jmann]

Sounds like you should go here and schedule an appointment to have it checked out.

i have the first generation iPod Touch like the first buyer bought it like weeks after it came out.

I really don't know what happened to it...
it just sucks to be me, why is it that the coolest iPod i ever own dies on me...

this is seriously weird i don't know what happened.
