Drained Ipod Touch 5th Generation won't charge

I charged it this morning and it was all fine but when I charged it again with already low battery percentage, it couldn't connect. Tried lots of time to clean the port and try different chargers but all failed until it finally gave up and got drained. I tried to wait and press the home button and the power button and it showed that it was charging in the screen. So I left it for awhile but came back with it not responding at all. It's dead, I'm so nervous. Guys, I need help asap!! Tried everything already. It won'y connect to iTunes and seems to have trouble connecting with the charger. WHAT SHOULD I DO THAT DOESN'T INVOLVE GOING TO APPLE OR INCLUDING MONEY?! Help guyss :((((
