HI,

The "hold" switch is located at the top of the iPod nano.

TO TURN THE HOLD ON:
Slide the hold switch to the on position when you put the iPod away. This won’t accidentally wake from sleep when a button is pushed and drain its power.

TO TURN THE HOLD Off:
To start using your iPod again, just slide the hold switch into the other position and click a button to start it up again.


This will fix the issue,

Thank you,

Won't turn on

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.

You have to reset your iPod. (Note: This is for the 3rd generation iPod Nano)

To reset iPod nano:
1 Toggle the Hold switch on and off (slide it to HOLD and then back again).
2 Press and hold the Menu and Center buttons for at least 6 seconds, until the Apple logo appears.


If iPod nano won’t turn on or respond

- Make sure the Hold switch isn’t set to HOLD.
- The iPod nano battery might need to be recharged. Connect iPod nano to your computer or to an Apple USB Power Adapter and let the battery recharge. Look for the lightning bolt icon on the iPod nano screen to verify that iPod nano is receiving a charge.

Ipod nano hold botton

heres what i found

 

"Depending on when you bought it, Apple might fix it or you will need to.

Within 1 year: Apple will
Outside that: you will.

Now, if you have AppleCare then you are fine. Dial the phone!
Call apple anyway, just to see if they have any ideas..."

 

or you can try opening the nano up with a pocket knife and try to do it yourself. if you try to open it, open from the top left.
