will not come on

Make sure it's not the charger you are using or the usb cable.

When it is plugged in press it up to your ear and see if you can hear a "buzzing noise"

If you can hear the "Buzzing" you could have a "Dead" iPod

If all else fails drop by the apple store for a diagnosis and come back and someone here should be able to help you with a DIY repair for a fraction of the cost apple would charge.

Remember Apple diagnosis is free. You won't be obligated to pay any fees for them to assess you iPod.

Good Luck!
