Your iPod's screen is broken. not broken in the way you are probly thinking of (with a 'spider-web) it is an internal brake.

you have some choices at this point:

1) try and fix it yourself. this can be difficult but a lot cheaper (if your good with directions, pick this)
go to ifixit.com
they have both the parts and tools for the repair, as well as the instructions on how to do the repair itself.
the have and iPod screen replacement kit you will want look into

2) send it off to apple to fix
this will be very expensive and slow. if you have warranty it is now void because it does not include "accidental damage"
I don't recommend this.

3) sell it, and buy a new iPod.

My ipod touch was working ok then i just turn it off and now it dose not turn back on.

Try holding the "Home" button and the "Sleep" button at the top for at least 10 seconds. If the unit does not show an Apple logo and reboot, try plugging the iPod into your computer with the cable to charge it. If the battery is very dead, it may take a few minutes for the iPod to respond as it needs to charge some beofre turning on.

How do I find if my iPod touch battery is dead?

<p>When the iPod touch battery dies, you cannot do anything with the device. You will receive a warning on the screen of the iPod touch, when 5 percent of the battery turns on the device. Connect the device to a power source as soon as possible to load and prevent the battery goes dead. When the battery dies, the unit will shut down and will be connected to a power and charged before you can use <br /> <p><br /> <p>1. Press the iPod touch "Sleep / Wake" button, located along the upper side of the machine. If your iPod does not care, this is an indicator that the battery is dead. <br /> <p><br /> <p>2. Connect a charging cable to charge your iPod and connect the USB cable to a power of high power. High-power USB ports directly on your computer tower or, if the hardware usually found in the tower on the monitor, the monitor itself. The iPod touch screen shows a big red battery icon on the far left of the icon, indicating that the battery was empty. <br /> <p><br /> <p>3. Press the "Sleep / Wake" to see if the iPod is connected. If so, check the battery life, looking at the battery icon in the upper right corner of the screen. When the icon appears white, the battery is full when the icon is half black, the battery is almost dead, and if the battery is almost dead, you will receive a warning. If the iPod does not start, the battery is completely dead. In this case, your iPod into electronics store and have the battery replaced. <br />

My ipod will not turn on and has been charged

With the charger plugged in and turned on, try re-setting the iPod touch by holding down the button on the top and the button on the front together for 10 seconds or so. If the Apple symbol comes up it is going through the re-set / re-start process. If this doesn't happen it is likely dead. If it dies as soon as you unplug the charger the battery is dead.

Why wont my ipod touch turn on i turned it off and it wont come o

Hold the power button and home button for 10 seconds to ensure the device is off. Let go.

Hold the home button down, plug in the ipod to the computer, after the screen changes to the itunes plug screen, let go of the home button.

The ipod will now be in recovery mode, and you can attempt to perform a restore within itunes.

If the restore fails, and the ipod screen stays black, this means the battery is dead and must be replaced.

My ipod touch wont work

If iPod touch won't turn on, or if the display freezes or doesn't respond
  • iPod touch may need charging. See "Charging the Battery" in the iPod touch Features Guide.
  • Press and hold the Home button for at least six seconds, until the application you were using quits.
  • If that doesn't work, turn off iPod touch and turn it on again. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on top of iPod touch for a few seconds until a red slider appears, and then drag the slider. Then press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
  • If that doesn't work, reset iPod touch. Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If iPod touch continues to freeze or not respond after you reset it
  • Reset iPod touch settings. From the Home screen choose Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings. All your preferences are reset, but your data and media are left untouched.
  • If that doesn't work, erase all content on iPod touch. From the Home screen choose Settings > General > Reset > "Erase All Content and Settings." All your preferences are reset, and all your data and media are removed from iPod touch.

To reset the iPhone or iPod Touch, press and hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button simultaneously at the same time for at least ten seconds, then the LCD display will clear and the Apple logo appears on the black background. When Apple logo appears, reset is done.
