I tried to charge it by the wall and the keyboard but it didn't work. I don't know what to do and I'm not looking forward to buying a new charger. HELP!!!😟

Hi catlover1223,
These are the steps you should try if your iPhone isn't charging from the adapter, some of which you may have tried:

Battery does not charge from the USB power adapter
Important: Only original iPhone can be charged from a FireWire-based power source. If iPhone is connected to a computer that's turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the battery may drain.
- Verify that the outlet being used is working.
- Try another USB power adapter if available.
- If no other USB power adapter is available, try connecting to a high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be turned on and not in sleep or standby mode.
- Try another USB cable if available.
- Also refer to iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery.
Cheers!
