iPod only works while plugged in?

History

Hello, my iPod touch got wet when I got caught in the rain. I dried it thoroughly in rice, but now it only works while plugged in. The display will tell me that its charging, then fully charged... and all apps work perfectly and at full functionality while plugged in. Then as soon as I unplug it, it shuts off.

Also of possible importance: while plugged into a wall, it works perfectly, but while plugged into a computer it flickers as if its struggling to get enough power.

Any idea what component of the iPod could be causing the problem?

You short circuited its battery

You need to to swap it but you need to solder to replace it

Thank you! Hopefully replacing it is the solution.
