iPod touch 4 not charging, can someone help, pls?

Ok Hello guys,


So I have an iPod touch 4 (iOS version: 6.1.5)... it was working really fine until last night, my iPod touch suddenly won't charge even after I plugged the USB wire to charge.


I try to check whether it's the charger's problem or my device's problem by using my sister's iPod touch 4... it works on her ipod and a charging icon is shown.


Then I plugged the USB wire to connect with my computer to see if my iPod touch will charge, it also works.


So to conclude,


my ipod touch can only charge itself when I plug the USB wire into the computer...


can anyone help???? i would appreciate so much

iPod touch, iOS 6.1.5

Try:

- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost

Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at

least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

- Reset all settings

Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.

All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.

- Restore from backup. See:

iOS: How to back up

- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
