why won't my ipod nano turn on unless plugged in?

ive had this ipod nano 8gb for about 2 years, never opened or used. Must have been dead right out the box. so i plug it in my computer and i sync my music, it charged fully and works when it's plugged into the computer, but as soon as i unplug it the screen goes black and it doesn't turn on, it says its fully charged when i plug it but as soon as i unplug it, nothing :( what is it? what can i do?

should i just leave it by itself for a few days see if it turns on?

Update:

why would i have to replace the battery? its never been used no possible way the battery is dead i never opened it :( lol

    Is there a way to test the battery? After 2 years the battery may not be holding a charge possibly. I would replace it or get a new ipod, whichever is easier or cheaper.
