Why won't my iPhone 5 charger work?

In reality it's an iPod touch 5th generation 32gb but the point is when I try to charge it it won't charge unless I have it in a specific position and I have to keep it in that position the whole time, if I don't it just disconnects by itself and you can hear the disconnected sound so what is this? This is the second time it happened to me so I bought another charger from t mobile and same thing happened again and it looks like it's in great condition but is there a way to fix it? Like open the lightning cable up and do something there or do I just need to buy a third charger?

Some apple product must be charged in warm place, maybe you can put it under quilt during charging. You can try it.

That happens all the time. If you try another usb charging cable and it does the same thing then it's the charging port. If you try another cable and it works then it's the cable. Hope that helped…

  • Why won't the charger on my Iphone 5 Suddenly won't fit in slot? I have had my Iphone 5 since December. I just went to plug it in to charge and it won't go in, seems as thou something is blocking it from going in. I haven't dropped it or anything.
  • Why won't my iPhone earbuds work on my iPhone but work fine on a computer? So I have the worst luck with earbuds and it happens to be reoccurring. I have a normal iPhone 5 and I enjoy music but when I listen to my songs only one earbud will work while the other one is dead. I can go on my computer and they will both work so I was wondering why they both won't work on my phone?
  • Why won't my brand new charger work on my IPhone? I have an iPhone 4S, I've had it since December 2012. My old charger has broken and I recently got a new one but it won't work in my computer or in the wall. I've cleaned out the charging port from 90% of the dust. I have a fake iPhone charger which I got off eBay, that broke last night but before it broke it would work fine with charging my phone so I don't see why it won't charge now?
  • My Iphone will only work on charger and won't let me turn on Wi-Fi? Yesterday my iPhone randomly turned off and wouldn't turn back on. Then it finally turned on when I put it on the charger. So when it's on the charger it kind of turns off and back on here and there. But right when I take it off the charger it turns right off. And it will not let me connect to Wi-Fi. Like I'll bring up the Wi-Fi screen and it won't let me switch it from off to on.
