Trouble with ipod nano not turning on

Does it have a green line in middle of screen ??

Apple has some suggestions to try before taking it in to an Apple store. Most iPod Nanos are covered by a one year warranty, and you may have purchased a longer warranty. For questions about your warranty and coverage, call Apple customer service. If your iPod is still covered and you live near an Apple store, it may be faster to take it in.

Charge the iPod Nano for several hours to make sure the problem isn't a low battery. Force reset the iPod Nano by holding down the Sleep button and the volume down button at the same time for 8-10 seconds or until the Apple logo appears. Restore your iPod Nano by plugging it into iTunes and clicking on the iPod, then "Restore." This will wipe all information on your iPod Nano and install the latest version of its operating system. Re-sync your data to the iPod Nano after a restore.

is it an ipod nano ?

Remove the two screws on the panel on top of the Nano and remove the top panel.

Use a case opener tool to pop the plastic screen cover off the unit.

Slide the screen up to expose the orange ribbon cable on the bottom of the screen that connects to the motherboard.

Unplug the orange ribbon cable from its port and slide the screen out of the Nano.

Fit a new screen in the Nano and plug the ribbon cable into the port.

Replace the screen cover and top panel of the Nano.

hope this helps

Is your iPod fully charged? Sometimes the batteries become so depleted of charge that an accessory charger won't turn it on.

-Try plugging it in to your computer or a wall charger for a while, time will vary but it may turn on.

-If it is not turning on your computer will never recognize it, thus you won't be able to do a restore with iTunes.

-Try a hard restart as well this could help you.
