Ok if that did not work for you then here are some more things to check before we proceed, before this happened to your iPod, did you notice if your power button or home button where not as response as they use to be? what i`m getting at is maybe you need to press the buttons a little harder to complete the SOFT RESET, if either your power button or your home button where not working before this happened then you will need to get them repaired before you have any chance of reviving your iPod from the dead, if you need some help getting this fixed then visit this link to get a quote for repairing the fault buttons iPod repair.

If at this point your iPod is still not charging then there is not much you can do from this point unless you opening it up, the iPod range can be quite tricky to open without damage and only undertake this if you are confidant or don’t mind damaging your iPod. from here the next things i would be trying is first of all try replacing the battery, make sure and buy your replacement battery form a reputable place as there is a lot of dud batterys in circulation, when you get your new battery if you have a tester, put the tester on it to make sure it is reading at 3.6v if its any less then the battery will most likely not work. other things i would try is to test the fuse on the logic board of the iPod and the charging coil , for further help with this please post your progress below and i will reply with some help
