Why doesn't my S4 charge and keeps trying to boot but it can't?

AC Question

s4 doesn't charge and keeps trying to boot but it can't.

i have had an s4 for about 3 months now, and it has suddenly stopped wanting to charge, and also it fails to register that i have plugged in the charger.
it can't be the charger or the port because i have tried other micro usb chargers and its the same story but then my charger works on other android phones.

it keeps turning on and off like it wants to boot up and charge but nothing works at all. i have had the same problem with me s3 phone but that self corrected. it just keeps vibrating and doing nothing but showing the charge sign before shutting off again repeatedly.

so any advice?

Welcome to Android Central! It sounds like the battery might be faulty. Try a new battery.
