So the iPod only powers on when connected to an external power source such as a USB port on your PC or Mac or when connected to a wall charger? If so, that is a very good indication that your iPod's battery is shot and in need of replacement.

Apple can swap it out for a flat fee or you can send it to a third party repair service for a bit less.
