All you should have to do is hold the Play/Pause button until the iPod's display goes off. Then activate the hold switch to prevent the iPod from waking up accidentally.

Try holding the "menu" and center key at the same time until the apple logo shows up. This should reset the iPod. If you wanted to keep it off I'm not sure how to do that, though the iPod should shut off if not used long anough.

Thanks @planb77. Your idea helped. My mom was pondering over how to do that. Thanks again. 🙂

I came across it in a drawer and had forgotten how to turn it off. Thank you very much.
