    try next step: with cable connected and iTunes open, push power button and quick push BOTH power and home button for 10 secs, release power button but HOLD home button pushed for aprox. 30 secs, till you see computer starts to install drivers. You should be able to sort it out in this way (debug mode). If not, try to do the same steps on different computer. I did that yesterday with my iPhone 4 and in this way i could reinstall the firmware.
    good luck :)

    It decided to wake up this evening, after I had un/reinstallediTunes etc. etc.
    I will note this sequence of button presses for the next time.:):)

    It's annoying when it goes gaga like this, specially when this model appears to have been discontinued. The nano 6 is a different machine altogether.
    Thx
