DD's ipod Touch Died - Can it be saved??

[DisneyMissy318]

DD12 took her ipod on a long bus ride/field trip - they couldn't leave anything on the bus - so her touch was in a bag all day - in the heat - getting banged around - sigh . (I was not aware she took it - which is a TOTALLY different subject! ) When they got back on the bus for the ride home - it was dead - and has been for a week now.

She has had this for about 18 months - so no warranty (that I know of).

Does anyone have any experience in trying to jumpstart/reset an ipod Touch?

Take it to the Apple store. DD has had different problems and she has gone back to the store and often it was a quick reset.

Personally, I know nothing about them.

The first thing that I would do is try to do a reset. This is done by holding the sleep button and home button. After ten seconds, the Apple logo should appear.

DD has had a couple instances when her's stopped working and has been able to reset it somehow. I'm sorry that I don't know how.

If you're unsure, take it to the Genius Bar in your local Apple Store. They'll know what to do

Thanks for the replies! The closest Apple store is about 100 miles away - we're planning a trip down that way later in the month - so we will definitely take it with us. Thanks for the suggestion!

In the mean time, do a reset and see if that fixes it.

Sorry... I meant to say that we did try the reset and it didn't work. I found another option on the Apple site - which I will try tonight. Thanks again!
