Can you charge your iPod (does it have an empty battery)? Have you tried resetting your iPod yet?

Press & hold the Menu + Middle buttons for about six seconds, and the Apple logo will appear.

Take your iPod back to the Apple store and show them that screen! They will give you a new one!

Ok, that is progress. Now, try connecting your iPod to your computer once again. Can you see it in 'my computer'? If not, try putting it into disk mode (instructions here - http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651) and checking again if you can see it in 'my computer'.

It's probably the notorious 'sad iPod' icon. I believe you should take it in for a check-up at your local Apple store.
