No.
Actually, it must be turned on to charge. If it is off, it will turn on by itself.
Good luck .
Your iPod will automatically turn on when you plug it in and start charging it.
try charging it or connecting it to itune
mayby your battery ran out try charging it
It needs charging.
it means it still charging, when fully charged that will turn into a cord plug
If your iPod will not turn on try one of two things. First try charging it before you power it on. If it does not have enough power it will not be able to power on. If that does not work try plugging it into your PC and restoring its original factory settings.
you can turn on the side of the ipod touch.
It either needs charging, its shut down (hold the turn on turn off button) or it doesn't work any more
If you say your iPod is jailbroken, then that may be the issue itself. Jailbraking your iPod un-successfully can result in major damage. Either that, or your iPod may be out of battery life, (try charging it).
Try charging it
You can turn off the iPod Touch if you jailbreak it.
Don't Worry its happened to me before. First you need to try to turn the ipod on. If the ipod displays a charging icon then you can charge it straight away. If it doesn't display anything then I recommend you take it to an Apple store Dealer!
