You say you did a reset, but did you press both the home button and the on/off button for more than 5 seconds, till the apple logo comes on?
If not, try that one. When that does not work, try a reset from he Apple page, or connect the iPod to iTunes and click restore (last backup) when you did not backup for a long time, you will lose all settings and scores you made since the last backup. Reset your iPod
This is probably caused by not allowing the firmware update to finish the installation before disconnecting the iPod. Try these steps. Reset the iPod: 1.Turn the Hold switch on, then back to off. 2.Press and hold the Menu and Select buttons for 10 seconds (until the Apple logo appears). 3.You may need to repeat the reset several times. If the reset doesn't help, then put the iPod into forced disk mode.
Put iPod into Disk Mode:
Apple suggests that you ensure your iPod is charged before following the next step. How exactly you check a charge on an iPod screen that is completely white has yet to be revealed. But hey, give it a shot anyway. Plug the iPod into a high-powered USB port, let it sit for 2 hours, then disconnect it. If you have a wall charger, plug in the iPod, then follow these steps while it is still plugged in. 1.Turn the Hold switch on, then back to off. 2.Press and hold the Menu and Select buttons until the Apple logo appears 3.Immediately switch your figures to press and hold the Select and the Play/Pause buttons until "Disk Mode" appears at the top.
For a lot of people, this solves the problem. Connect the iPod to the computer and (assuming it shows up) reset the iPod again to get it out of Disk Mode. If at this point you still have the white screen, restore the iPod using the restore function in iTunes under the Summary tab (this will erase everything on the iPod and put it at factory settings).
Don't disconnect or eject the iPod until the store is totally done. After you think it's done, wait another five minutes.

Try to reset it. Press and hold the
Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten
seconds, until either the Apple logo or battery symbol appears. If the battery symbol appears, continue to
charge iPod touch until it is fully
charged.
If this doesn't work, try restoring the iPod from within
itunes.
This same thing happened to me. I was playing fantastic contraption and my ipod screen just went black and wouldnt turn back on. When I plugged it in to a charger, it made that charging noise, but wouldnt turn on. SOLUTION: try holding in the sleep/wake(power) button, and the home button at the same time for about 15 seconds or until you see the white apple logo. That worked for me, hope you get it fixed.
