iPod 5th gen randomly died, not charging?

Question

I have a 32 gig fifth gen iPod touch that&#x27;s less then a year old and has always worked great. No cracks, never any problems, and updated to the most recent iOS system. I used it about three hours ago, and it was almost full battery and worked great. About an hour and a half later it was completely dead and I hadn&#x27;t used it at all. Nothing was showing up on the screen like usual to tell me to charge it (like this but the more recent one, couldn&#x27;t find a picture online)     I got home and put it right on the charger (which I know works, I used it this morning) and it usually turns right back on immediately. This time however, nothing happened. It&#x27;s been on charge for about half an hour with no sign of responding. What could cause it to randomly black out like this, and is there a way to fix it?Thank you for your help!
