   Charger,  cable,  damaged USB port in the phone,  build-up of dirt/lint   
   in the USB plug or socket.  Faulty charging circuit in the phone, or   
   maybe the battery is completely dead.   
      
   The most likely cause is a damaged USB port in the phone.   
      
   Use a multimeter to check the battery voltage. Clean out the   
   USB socket using a toothpick.  Make sure the battery contacts are clean.   
   Inspect the USB socket for damage.   
      
   If all else fails, you probably need a new USB port. You can buy   
   a complete PCB with socket for just a few €/£/$. You will need to   
   dismantle the phone to get at the socket. Plenty of guides on   
   YouTube.   
      
   Good luck.
