iPod 5 Won't charge, turn on, or show any signs of working at all.

I've had my iPod touch 5 for a few months now, recently due to traveling, I lost the charging cable that came with the iPod, so I bought a 3rd party charging cable, as it was the quickest solution possible, it worked for around a week until I got this message:

The charger completely stopped working the next day, the iPod's battery died a few hours later, so when I found out that 3rd party chargers are no longer supported, I went ahead and ordered an official cable off of the apple store, it arrived 4 days later(today).


Now here's my problem, during those 4 days of waiting for the charger to arrive, it seems like the the iPod completely ran out of battery, and the low battery screen(http://i.imgur.com/mfkZDkm.png) stopped appearing, now when I try to charge it, it wouldn't show any signs of charging at all(even after letting it charge for almost an hour), neither would it turn on when I hold down the power button.



Things I have tried:


-Doing a hard reset. <-Holding down the home button and the power button until it turns on.

-Plugging it in to my laptop and putting into recovery mode, two of my laptops couldn't even detect it.

Try the remaining items of:

- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on

- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.

- Try another cable

- Try on another computer

- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
