IPhone charger is not working? - 1

I used a fake iPhone charger for a while and my battery started to die really fast so I just bought a real genuine iPhone charger. But now the real charger is not working.
I tried the whole cleaning lint thing but it didn't work. The fake charger only works and nothing else. What do I do?

Must be the cable. Some work - some do not. The OEM ones are awful, and break easily; I leave them new in the box, because you get higher resale when you have the OEM parts ( do not use the earphones, either - garbage). So get a GOOD cable. It might tell you that it is *unsupported*, blah blah - that just means they can tell it is not THEIRS - yeah, and it might be BETTER.
