Will not charge with firewire cable

I just picked up a 15GB 3rd gen iPod. It was dead and would not turn on. I had a new battery so I put that battery in. The iPod turned on and play music although the backlight didn't seem to work. I noticed it did not appear to be charging. (Yes I am using a firewire wall charger which charges other iPod's fine.) So I thought I would try and connect it to the computer and restore it and see if that helped. I connected to the computer and iTunes recognized it and I restored it. It then told me to remove from the computer and connect it to the wall charger. When I did this the iPod did not acknowledge it. It is still asking to be connected to a wall charger. So I am guessing the logic board is bad. Does this make sense to the experts here?

Tried it on my laptop. iTunes does not recognize with firewire cable. Looks like the main board is no good.
