Try a soft reset first:
1. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on the top of the unit until a red slider appears
2. Drag the slider.
3. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
If a soft reset doesn’t work, try a hard reset:
Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button for about ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

Move closer to the Wi-Fi router or hotspot.
If you are using a personal Wi-Fi network, verify the Wi-Fi router is connected to power and turned on.
Wi-Fi networks configured as "closed" or "private" do not broadcast the network name to Wi-Fi devices.
Join a "closed" or "private" network by tapping Settings > Wi-Fi > Other and entering the Wi-Fi network name, security, and password.
Then tell me if that fixes it.

You might have to put it into DFU mode
it will restore it, but it should fix the problem
To put the iPhone into DFU mode so you can do an iTunes firmware restore follow these steps:
Step One
Open iTunes and connect the iPhone to your Mac.
Step Two
Press and hold the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button at the same time.
Step Three
After exactly 10 seconds release the Sleep/Wake button. Continue holding the home button until you iTunes pops up a message telling you that it has detected an iPhone in recovery mode.
The iPhone screen will remain black
NOTE***: It may take a few attempts to get your iPhone into DFU mode. Generally, I hold down both buttons then release the Home button just before I think the Apple logo would appear. If you are still holding both buttons down and you see the Apple logo you are holding them down for too long!

this issue "apple logo on/off" but nothing else usually is an indicator that that particular iPod doesn't have the necessary boot file to boot up just like a PC during the boot up process. One can go to Itunes site and download it to one's iPod and the problem is fixed.
Sorry I don't have the name of that specific file but that's how this problem was taken care of at my repair shop.

My first Gen iPod does the same thing, it turns on and off until the battery is completely drained. The only way I can keep it on sometimes is if I am letting music play or using an application but once I stop then it starts shutting on and off again. Also I noticed the best way for my to turn it on sometimes is to actually plug it into my MacBook and let it connect to I tunes.
I was really !@#$%^ when this problem first occurred but now I have a second Gen I pod touch and A iPhone 3GS and I don't have any problems. I really think Apple restructured the internal format of the device but if anyone has a suggestion of how to fix the turning on and off problem I would really appreciate it.
Just to be completely clear, it's absolutely not okay to ask 4 different questions to engage in a dialog with Mayer. You're encouraged you to update your question when you get more relevant information. This will bump the question to the top of the list. This time, I deleted your other questions and moved their content here, so don't worry about it. We do this so that all of the relevant information is in one place for when someone else views the question. Thanks for understanding and for accepting Mayer's answer!
Sterling Hirsh,
Sterling - Let him start one new question. This ones asked and answered. Now we're working on WiFi and I'm trying to cover to many questions
mayer,
Okay, if he wants to make one new one, that's fine. There were four questions, before though, and that's a pain to keep track of.
Sterling Hirsh,
