How do you fix a broken iTouch?

Every time my touch makes a sound, like when I play a game or get a text, the volume control pops up and it shuts down. I can immediately turn it on (swipe it to open) and then its fine. but if it makes another noise, it’ll just do the same thing…
Is there anyway to fix this, without it being costly.(costly as in I HAVE NO MONIES)

Well, it’s definitely not a hardware issue if it locks itself when it makes a sound. I’d do a restore using itunes. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
or do what the other guy said
@johnpowell i’m not sure what that’d do. Have you tried this method?
@LocoLuke I have tried that. it was jailbroken before, but could that be a problem? it didn’t act like this before
Yes.. If it is jailbroken I am not surprised that you are having a problem. Just do a restore to reset it to the factory settings.
It isn’t jailbroken anymore ‘cause I did restore it to the factory settings. but that was like.. a month ago.
Just do it again. It takes 30 minutes. It might fix it and it might not. I don’t see the harm in trying.
it shouldn’t matter whether or not you jailbroke it if you factory reset it. The worst that can happen is that you will have to move your music and apps onto the itouch again.
