iPod touch 5g recognizes its plugged in, not charging.

I have a iPod touch 5th generation, and updated to the newest iOS 9.0.1. Yesterday I noticed that my iPod was not charging as it normally did, and it died while it was plugged in. I tried using different cords, different cubes, and an iHome. Nothing seems to work.

When unplugged, it says the normal thing when an iPod dies, the battery icon with the lightening charger needing to be plugged in. When plugged in, it recognizes that it is plugged in but nothing happens, even after hours of the iPod being plugged in.

Not sure what caused this problem. Never had a hard fall, or any other problems leading up to this.

Thanks for your help!!

iPod touch, iOS 9.0.1

- Try another cable. The cable for 5G or later iPod (lightning connector) seems to be more prone to failure than the older cable.

Tried everything, still the same problem. When it is unplugged, It shows the red battery icon with the lightening charger need to be plugged in. When I plug it in, it knows it's plugged in because it just shows the battery icon. It's been plugged in for hours and still hasn't turned on.
