Simple solutions first:

  1. Try a different USB port on your computer.
  2. Try a wall plug.
  3. Try a different computer.

More complex:

Replace the logic board

This sounds most likely like a dead logic board, but the simple steps are worth the time if they can save you the money. We don't have any 2nd Gen iPod Touch logic boards right now, but you can check eBay.

I would start with Apple's iPod touch trouble shooting guide:

http://www.apple.com/support/ipodtouch/a...

If that does not bring your display back, first open it and re-seat the cable connections.

If it is still dead, try to confirm if it's just the display or if it has other issues (even though you can't see anything on the display, can you get it to do anything like play music using the touch screen?) If it's just that the display doesn't work, replace it.
