Monique, it does sound like you are having a bad battery. It does not receive enough amperage from th USB post since that is limited to 500mA, whereas the AC adapter usually supplies 1000mA. I would start by replacing the battery. Follow this guide. Luckily this model iPod is relatively easy to open. Be careful when you lift the clip for the battery cable, it does have a tendency of breaking of the board. Use a paperclip, bend it into an L-shape and lift the clip straight up. Hope this helps, good luck.

Does it start up when you plug it into a AC wall adapter? Does it start up when you plug it into a USB port?
