Both times it has died, the battery level has been over 90%. The first time, I 
could hear the tone when I plug in power, but not the last time it died.

Well, another chapter in the saga of my dead iPod Touch.

After restoring it and re-downloading apps I laid it on my nightstand. When I 
picked it up a few minutes later it was totally dead again. No screen, no Seri 
and no speech or sounds. It doesn't even ping when I attach the power cord.

Unless anyone has further advice, I guess it is really dead now. I don't know 
how because it has not suffered a fall or bang or anything

Please try the following steps.
Assuming the USB cable is still connected to both iPod and computer:

1. Press and hold the home and sleep/wake buttons for at least ten seconds.

2. After that time, release the sleep/wake button and keep the home button held 
down until iTunes detects the iPod in recovery mode. Release the home button.

3. Once iTunes detects the iPod in recovery mode, click the restore button.

Good luck.

When you created an encrypted backup, you were asked to set a password. 
This is the password it's asking for.

You might try telling Siri to turn voiceover off. Then once it does that, tell 
it to turn VO back on. Otherwise, try pressing the home button to wake the 
device, swiping up with two fingers, then repeatedly pressing the volume up 
button to try to get speech back. 
If all else fails, you can turn off find my iPod from iCloud.com.

Please try the following steps.
Assuming the USB cable is still connected to both iPod and computer:

1. Press and hold the home and sleep/wake buttons for at least ten seconds.

2. After that time, release the sleep/wake button and keep the home button held 
down until iTunes detects the iPod in recovery mode. Release the home button.

3. Once iTunes detects the iPod in recovery mode, click the restore button.

Good luck.

Re: Reviving a Dead Touch

Not rebooted yet using hold sleep/home buttons for about ten seconds?

Subject: Reviving a Dead Touch


I have a Touch 5 32gb. Has worked just fine for a couple of years. Last
night I charged it overnight. I used it for an hour or so this morning to
read NFB NewsLine. It sat unplugged and untouched until about 9:30 this
evening. It was paired with a bluetooth speaker I use quite a bit.

When I tried turning it on, I got a buzzing sound. Sort of a lower pitch
burned out florescent tube sound. I had someone view the screen and it was
black. Swiping would not do anything; no voiceover at all. I did get the
buzzing to stop by pressing the power button about 10 times. Seri was
working and voiceover was on, but would not speak and swiping the screen,
pressing volume buttons powering to sleep and awake did not emit any sounds.
I did have Seri play music which I could hear. I did try plugging in earbuds
and could hear the music but could not get anything from touching the
screen.

In my efforts to do anything, I must have turned the thing completely off
because Seri will no longer even work. It was recognized when connected to
iTunes through my PC. I tried resetting, but it said I had to turn off Find
My iPhone in iCloud first. Real helpful. I synchronized things, so it was
being seen, but there still is no sound coming from it and the screen
remains blank.

I should mention I also plugged in the power cord. I could hear the tones
when connecting, but that was the only sound I could get.

Is this thing a brick? Is there anything more I can try? I have never had a
problem with it and do use it all day long nearly every day for reading,
BARD or streaming.

Any ideas will be most appreciated!

Eric
