My old 5G video ipod is being really strange
when I plug i into a power outlet it starts up and says the battery is fully charged
when i unplug it, it shuts down and doesn't start back up unless i plug it into an outlet
when i try to plug it into my macbook nothing happens, it just stays shut down

IS there anything I can do to fix this?

Ive tried toggling the hold button and holding down the menu and select button

Please help...i love this old ipod
 
You could try restoring the software in iTunes. I don't know if this will help, but it's worth a shot if you want to keep your ipod. If you live near an Apple Store you could try asking someone there. I find the employees to be extremely helpful.
