Default ipod problem...help?

my ipod is finally giving up on me...i think
the buttons and all the functions work..but the computer won't charge nor read it (tried this with a few computers)

can't seem to turn it off either
should i just wait til the battery is exhausted? or is there something i can do to reset the whole thing?

search google on how to hard reset it.

something along the lines of flicking the hold button a few times long with holding down 2 buttons.
