iPod won't charge. Different cords hasn't worked.

Question

iPod won't charge. Different cords hasn't worked.

Charged my iPod all night last night, but it didn't charge at all. When it is plugged in, it says it is charging, but the battery doesn't move. Won't turn on anymore either, so I can't access anything from the iPod. Different cords hasn't worked. Different kinds of charging hasn't worked; i.e. outlet, power bank, computer. When plugged into a computer, the computer doesn't recognize it. I would like to keep the same iPod. Not sure if any pictures are backed up since I don't use iCloud. Have already had it for over one year, so warranty won't cover it. 5th generation, I believe 32 GB.

Somehow it started working again. It stayed at the dead and charging screen overnight and, this morning, I unplugged it and it showed half charge. Kept it plugged into a portable power box for a few hours and it fully charged. Weird.
