iPod Classic 5th Gen 30 GBs is in perpetual rebooting mode.

Hi. I just got this iPod used for dirty cheap. It came with no battery so I plugged it in and as soon as it got some battery, the iPod went into the rebooting mode (black screen with almost no brightness, Apple logo on the center). I tried to hold rewind + select to go into the diagnostic mode of the iPod but it does nothing, it just shuts down the iPod. The disk mode (center + play) doesn't do anything. The only command that works is Hard Reboot (menu + center). After reading a bit, a guy suggested to try to listen to the hdd so you can check if it spins. I'm right now in my room which is dead quiet and I can't hear anything spinning, I can hear a small beep sound (really reall small sound) once I reboot the iPod but besides that nothing.

I tried to connect the iPod to the computer but it doesn't recognice it so at this point i'm not sure if the issue is software or hardware. I was planning to change the battery and the old HDD to a iFlash two SD card slot, but before that I want to see if I can fix it manually or with hardware... And if not I wanna know something. If I change the HDD for an iFlash two SD slot card, would de iPod still work or should I plug it into iTunes to "install" the OS in the new storage?

I think the problem that I have with my iPod could be hard drive based or (worst case scenario) logic board.
