Second Generation Ipod touch works only when plugged in, sometimes?

My ipod touch 2nd gen is having some issues. My friend gave it to me this way. He says it worked one night, charged it overnight, then went to turn it on the next day and it wouldn't turn on. So I got it then plugged it in and it starts turning on with the apple logo and then it will shut off and do it over and over. Sometimes it will get to the lock screen and I will have a few minutes on it before it shuts off again and constantly turns on then off. Any ideas?

Try restoring using iTunes:

If it didn't help, it might have a hardware problem so that you might need to take to an Apple authorised Service for diagnosis:

Try:

- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on

- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.

- Try on another computer

- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
