iPhone 5: Screen shows its charging, but it isn't. Its been connected for the last few hours and hasn't turned on?

So this happened suddenly out of the blue last night, I've had the iPhone for a while now and have never had any issues with it till now.


Am attaching a picture to show you what screen I get.


Its been like this for the past 5-6 hours. It just doesn't charge, but it thinks it is charging.


Also before the battery fully ran out, when I had plugged it in, it showed the charging symbol next to the battery symbol, but again it wasn't charging at that time.


Not sure what to do as I'm currently out of the country (UK) and there isn't any Apple stores where Im right now. I wont be back to the UK for another 2-3 weeks.

Tried the reset, but nothing happens, the screen shuts for a bit and then starts back to the screen in the first post.


Had the lint problem a few months back, so that was the first thing I checked when I was having this problem. So not that either.


Tried two different cables, my friend also has an iPhone 5, and I used their cable, which works fine for their phone, but doesn't work for mine.


I could take it to one of the mobile phone fixing guys here, but I don't want my Apple Warranty to go out if they open it up.
