Apple iPod frozen no lite screen

[Roasted]

I have an iPod capacity of 8GB and connected to my USB 2.0 port for charging the battery and in evening, I forgot that I have connected the device already and restarted the PC and PC stopped the process of shut down at J:drive and reported a 'CD' was trying to start up windows.,

I find that iPod was plugged in and I pulled out from USB port, PC restarted well, . reinstalled the jack back into the PC once started. Again, in the morning ,I saw that my iPod was still connected to the system for 12 hours of charge, and I just pulled out and then found that I am unable to get the device to 'lite' up . it just sits there with a darkened screen showing me the device is still plugged in.
