Bring it into a repair shop - evidently it's not a problem of not being connected to a charger.

I had exactly this on 3 occasions. Each time it was a different problem and needed a different solution.
1) The micro USB plug was not making contact with the Hudl.
Solution: I just used a new lead.​
2) The original charger started making a very intermittent connection on its USB socket but it did charge from my computer.
Solution: I just got another USB charger.​
3) I could not charge it at all from the charger or a computer with any lead and the micro USB plug was a loose fit.
Solution: I bought a new charger port from a seller on eBay called cambridge_accessories. It cose £3.99 including postage. I am an electronic engineer so fitted it myself. However, it is a bit fiddly to open and fit it so take it to someone who has those skills if you don't yourself. There is a good YouTube video showing you how to open it.​

So bottom line - unless you have the skill and experience to do the work yourself ... bring it to a repair shop. :)
