Charging my iPod Touch 5th Gen

My Problem

I could not charge my iPod Touch.

My Fix

The charging port on my iPod Touch was very dirty. I used some of the tools from the Pro Tech ToolKit to get all the dust bunnies out. It worked, but it took a lot of cleaning. I had to get it all out making sure that it was 100% clean. Only then did it start charging again.

My Advice

Make absolutely certain that the device is not working before taking it apart. I was tempted to take apart my iPod Touch, but I'm glad I didn't.
