I'm low on battery now so I plugged it in but the charging port doesn't seem to work. I've tried a few different chargers, USB, jiggling the cable around and have tried restarting the phone but nothing works.

Does anyone know how it would be possible for the charging port to just go on the blink? Will I have to send it away to get repaired?
