It turns out it was the home buttons ribbon cable. I'm not entirely sure what exactly was happening, but when I closed the aluminum plate while the ribbon cable was pulled through it, the whole iPod would cease functioning. I cut a little strip off the plate for the ribbon cable to sit freely, and it works perfectly normal once again :) Thanks for all the replies and help!
