did you buy it used or new. do you still have warranty on it? If it was used, what did the previous owner tell you about the device?

There may be a problem with your charger. Even thought the light is on, it may not be going through the wire into your device. I would try a new charger, or else, check the end of the charger with a powerful multimeter (warning: very high voltages when dealing with this) and if it shows a voltage, the charger should be fine. If you get to this part, you will have to repair your charger port.

If if still isn't working, it may be your battery in your device and/or the board of the device. (may have got fried during charging)

Darius,don't you charge it charge it by connecting it to the USB port of your computer or the charger. So, if it charges trough the same port but different devices, i.e your computer or the charger, then it is not the port that is malfunctioning, but the charging device. In your case the charger itself.
