Why won't my phone charge and why does it keep turning itself on and off?

Phone isn't charging - turns itself on, and shuts off.

I'm having a problem charging my phone today. I've tried 2 different cables, and still having the same problem. It's plugged into the wall. I have it turned off, but it sporadically turns itself back on, and then shuts off again. It's been doing this back and forth for several hours now, and isn't charging at all. Frustrating!!!

Any help?

Btw, the phone is a Motorola Razr.

Welcome to Android Central! It's possible the battery might be failing.

See if you can boot into Recovery Mode and wipe the cache partition: Wipe Cache Partition - DROID RAZR / RAZR MAXX by MOTOROLA
