iPod touch diagnostic mode, revealed in pictures
If you’ve wondered how the classic iPod diagnostic mode has changed for Apple’s newer touch-screen-based iPods, we now have answers. Thanks to iLounge reader Joseph Olenick, the iPod touch’s complete diagnostic mode has been laid out in this series of pictures, which step through the following test features:
Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Battery, Accelerometer, Buttons, Speaker, Touch, Serial Number, Ambient Light, Headphones, and Temperature. These features appear to encompass features that are in the iPhone, but not all in the iPod touch.
You can see the photos for yourself below. Enjoy!

this is very good that you have found a way to get in but i would like to know how to do it bc i i would love to get the bluetooth working bc i may know how to get it on bc i happen to be friends with someone who works at apple and works in the software department and i could get him to tell me how to turn it on but he told me that i would have to find out how to get in to the diagnostic first so could you tell me how to get in to the diagnostic

Hey systemofthe666, the iPod Touch has no Bluetooth. So I doubt you have a friend at Apple and I’m pretty sure your whole statement is one huge lie.
Quit making stuff up. If you are talking about the iPhone, it is in the settings off of the home screen under general.

Hey there… I’ve have the iPod Touch for just over a month now and just did the software upgrade on it about a week ago.
My problem is that today after I did a sync using iTunes, I disconnected my iPod Touch and took off for an appointment...took it out to get into it and it seemed totally dead…
There is no sign of power. Pushing on the “On/Off” power button on the top left corner won’t give the ‘boot-up’ Apple, nor does the ‘menu’ button bring anything up either.
Is there a way to reset or manually cycle the iPod Touch or put it into a “Diag” mode? I’m stuck…
