Make sure you're using the original cable. Also, leave it plugged in for a while.

What happens when you connect it to iTunes? Is it recognised?

Also how old is the device? Did you buy it new six months ago?

I don't the original cable but the cable works in all other phones, I have left it in h30 moms now and still nothing. Nothing comes up when I plug it into iTunes either and I bought it brand new about 9 months ago.

The good news is you should still be under warranty. Lets just hope its not liquid damage or crap in the charging port.
Since the cable works fine with other devices lets focus on the phone.
Do you have an old tooth brush? Or maybe a tooth pick.
Grab those and maybe a small flashlight and try to clean inside your data port. Chances are you have something in there preventing it from either connecting in all the way, like lint build up. OR you have corrosion or something preventing the connectors from making contact.

After you have cleaned it plug it in for a while and see if it turns on or the battery plug in symbol comes on.
