My iPhone 4s won't turn on. What to do?

So yesterday as I go to charge my phone, it does not charge at all. I have so many apple chargers, and each one that I tried would not charge the phone.


I tried to plug it into my computer, and iTunes isn't even picking it up, and the screen is black.


I'm not sure what to do! Maybe the battery died...


Someone help! 😕

iPhone 4S, iOS 6.0.2

Connect the iPhone to Wall Charger for 10 minutes, it may turn ON itself. If still nothing, keep on Wall Charger and Reset, hold both Home and Power buttons until the iPhone begins to start, usually takes about 20 seconds of holding both buttons while on charger. If still nothing, clean the iPhone charging port with a clean dry toothbrush. Then try above steps. If still nothing, and if there is Warranty or AppleCare, make Genius reservation or arrangements for service and take or send iPhone to Apple for resolution. If no coverage, clean the iPhone charging port again with toothbrush and small amount of Isopropyl Alcohol.
