ipod touch

hi, when i go to turn my ipod touch 2g on it gets stuck at the apple logo.
i've tried the method of the home and power button and restoring but thats no use. i've also tried draining the battery and seeing if it'll work, but again, no luck.

any ideas or will i have to post it off back to apple?

Tried restoring from a backup?

and if you cant restore, try this - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

tried, and can't do the 2nd as it's in recovery mode i think (stuck in recovery mode though)
thanks anyway.

Happened to me about a week back.. kept rebooting to apple logo, wouldn't get any further.. battery was drained as it was doing it though.

I restored it or something using iTunes.. I can't remember what step I did, it allowed me to setup a new iPod, restore from backup etc..

yeah, i've done that but still nothing :(

Have you hit shift+restore and loaded a backup manually like that?

still got the problem.
any ideas?

exchange it for a new one?

that would be my last resort as i brought it from apple, so i'd have to post it off.

Reading through, it seems to be that you've used all the options and you've just gotta send it off.
Doesn't seem to be anything else you can possibly do....
