look inside the connector.

most devices with that particular problem have dirt or a slight fluid damage inside the connector.

i would use a paintbrush and some rubbing alcohol or better - an electronics cleaner

spray on the brusch and clean the connector - let it dry and then connect it to the computer

I cleaned the connector 3 times with a paintbrush and alcohol... i have no electronics cleaner.

i guess you did everything what apple described here: http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_r... - the problem could also be inside the nano - here is a good guide when you want to open the ipod: iPod Nano 3rd Generation Logic Board Replacement

My ipod is open now... but i dont know what to do... i tried plug the cable directly to the connector, outside the case and nothing new... And clean the back side of the motherboard and nothing... T_T
