You can connect it to your computer then hold the home button until it says it is in recovery mode. Or you can put it in DFU mode:
1. Connect to the computer
2. Hold the power and home buttons for 10 seconds (exactly)
3. Release the power button but hold the home button until your computer sees the device.
4. It will prompt you to restore, do so.

Thank you. My iPod Touch was giving me the same problem as the original poster. I have searched several troubleshooting sites and found somewhat similar but not exactly the same suggestions as yours. Nothing worked until I followed your procedure precisely. Not only that, your procedure was much easier to follow than some of the others I read.

I registered for this forum simply to post this thank you. It meant that much to me. I'm grateful for your help.

If putting it into DFU mode like he said doesn't work then you're screwed. When it dies or is turned off try plugging it into Itunes?
