The way you reset it is also unique (though resetting the 7th generation nano will be familiar if you've used an iPhone or iPod touch). Press and hold the Hold button (located in the upper-right corner) and the Home button (located on the bottom front) at the same time. When the screen goes dark, release both buttons.

You'll know that the Hold button is on if you see an orange area near the switch and a lock icon on the screen. If you see either of these indicators, move the switch back and see if this fixes the problem. If the nano isn't locked: Slide the Hold switch to the On position (so that the orange appears), then move it back to Off.

There are two things you should try at that point: Plug the iPod nano into a power source (such as a computer or a wall outlet) and let it charge for an hour or more. It could be that the battery is run down and needs to recharge.
