Use a different USB cable or charger. If your device still doesn't charge then you might go in the phone repair store. They could help you more about it.

Change to another cable if you have have several ones, and tried an alternate, which began charging almost immediatly. I also carefully inspected the charge connecter and found NO lint whatsoever.
