doesnt turn on. when plugged in it clicks or beeps.

so i had given my dad my old 3rd gen nano. he was about to throw it away because it doesnt seem to work for him and i wanted to at least try to get it working again before actually letting it get thrown away; it was special to me at one point.

ive done the whole reset process; nothing.

when i have tried plugging it into my computer eventually i can hear it either make a high pitched beep or itll click until i unplug it.

is there anything i can do at all to save it? or should i just toss it.
