Thank you!!! I think its my USB connections getting warped... I leaned it a certain way and your idea worked perfectly. It's FINALLY charging. Man, don't let these things die!!!
I've tried ALLL of these options and the thing will not turn on. A battery pic came on for a second then went away. An empty battery pic. I had it plugged in all night. It's now plugged to my computer with no results. These things are garbage.
