1297045 2012-08-26 00:07:00 This was seen this morning , after putting my ipod on charger last night , it cannot start , there is a normal black screen meaning that it cant start itself . So yeah thats basically , it can't start . Nhashon (16466)

1297047 2012-08-26 00:16:00 if in doubt plug it into the computer and restore it... usually fixes bugs. Slankydudl (16687)

1297049 2012-08-26 00:24:00 Hey slankydull , i have just a while ago , the itunes program doesn't even connect to it , meaning i can't even restore . Nhashon (16466)
1297050 2012-08-26 00:40:00 sometimes the phones can get kinda stuck and you have to hold the power and home button at the same time for about 5 seconds to turn it off. are you sure the screen is totally black, you can tell if its on as the screen will be slightly grey due to the back light.

1297051 2012-08-26 01:20:00 Hey Slankydudl , i have tried with what you told me - holding the power and home button for a while (20 seconds) , did it a couple of times , no difference and im pretty sure the screen is totally black , can not see any grey light , have checked . Nhashon (16466)
1297052 2012-08-26 01:22:00 What version iPod is this? If it's an iPod touch the do as slanky said, hold the home/lock button for ~30 secs to reset it or put it into DFU mode (recovery mode) like so: www.pocketables.com

-EDIT, ok, so screen might be broken. What happend if you plug it into a computer? Does it get recognized? What if you plug it in after getting it into DFU mode?

1297053 2012-08-26 01:33:00 Hey the Error Guy , ipod is 4generation , lastest software is updated , like i said tried what Slankydudl said , couple of times , does'nt work , and will try the DFU mode.

When plugged into computer ,no itunes does'nt recongise it, haven't tried DFU mode , will try and see it , update you later .

1297054 2012-08-26 02:07:00 You have to be correct with the timing on DFU. You can't really tell whether it's in DFU because nothing appears on the screen. Try another computer. sahilcc7 (15483)
