resetting it the simple way you need to hold down the on/off button (at the top) and the big round menu button (on the front)

hold them until it turns off and an apple appears on the screen.

another option is to turn it off then plug into your computer. that runs a sync and should turn it on and open itunes and do some upgrades etc. that sometimes helps

if not its maybe blocked and you might be best going to a dodgy phone shop and seeing if they can unblock or jailbreak it.

try the other two options first

This is it, when the Apple logo is on you gotta put it on charge! should come on after 20 mins!
