Nothing happens when iPhone is plugged in

Nothing happens when my 2G iPhone is plugged in, either to the charger or the USB connection on my Mac Pro. I've changed wires,; same problem. I've tested other devices in the USB ports; they work. When I plug the iPhone into the USB connection, nothing happens, nothing. It doesn't turn on, sync, turn off if on, no noise, nothing. The same symptoms when I plug the iPhone into the charger that uses a separate wire plugged into the charger in a different location. I've noticed this getting worse 'till now when absolutely nothing happens when plugged in. Previously, repeatedly plugging and unplugging resulted in both a charging and sync connection, depending on where plugged. Is this a phone hardware issue or am I doing something wrong?

Mac Pro, Mac OS X (10.5.5)

try a different USB port if that doesn't resolve your issue
also try

keep your serial number ready
Tap > general > settings > about ... serial number
or under the SIM tray, or on the box which iPhone came in
