Everytime I turn it on it just has the apple logo then it goes dim and turns off completely
iTunes Connect to it
I have seen DankPods (Youtuber that does a lot of content on older iPods and their clones) use a FireWire cable with the old 30-pin apple cable to “jumpstart” the older ones.
If you have a 30-pin to firewire laying around, try it out maybe?

Had something similar with my 4S. It needed a. Es battery and had to restore it through iTunes. Now is working pretty well. Using it docked as iPod.
Try a DFU Restore if you don’t care about the data that’s on it. Disclaimers, this will delete all data on the device.
Have you tried powering on with it still being plugged in?
Funny I came across this post, I just bought a 30 pin charging cable for an iPod I’m gonna fix and said might as well see if my old 3GS will turn on. Same thing happened, turned on when I connected it and now completely dead. New battery it is 👍🏾
Heavy petting

You should get a new battery. It’s quite easy to replace it on iPhone 3G/3GS. Also, for further questions it’s better to ask in r/LegacyJailbreak
