Phone not charging

I've got an original HTC Desire here but since last night it won't charge at all.

So far I've tried 3 different cables, one a USB to the computer but no orange light coming on. Have taken the battery out and back in no luck, leaving the battery out and connecting the phone does nothing either.

Could it be battery or am I looking at something else?
I thought if I plugged the phone in without a battery it should still boot up when plugged in the mains



edit:
Micro USB port broke

Try your cables with other phones. methinks your cable insertion thingy of your phone might be broken.



A classic!

Here's some DSBM for ya

Listening to a lot of technical (and "normal") death metal of the 90's atm, really the best subgenre by far imo.

Did you listen to any new stuff this year?

What was awesome: PolandBehemoth, GreeceHail Spirit Noir (metal album of the year so far, this band shits charisma)
What was great: NorwayKampfar, GreeceAenaon, ItalySatanika
What was ok: AustraliaWoods of Desolation, SwedenGrand Magus
What was shit: United States of AmericaCynic (unless you are like a HUGE prog rock fan, this album will disappoint you)

Yeah, got the Behemoth on the go atm. Loving the kampfar album, I've got the new WoD and Grand Magus album but only listened to GM at the mo, didn't think much of it to be honest.

Other stuff I've listened to so far is Schandmaul, Iskald and Winterstorm.

Probably give Cynic a miss, I have a shirt of theirs somewhere that came in a lucky dip I bought : )I think it's 5 shirts for £10

Just went to clean the micro usb and saw that a pin had bent inside, fucking thing!

Guess I need to get a wall charger and replace the usb port
Parent
perhaps it broke
Or just buy a new phone already
Don't really care for phones, I only use it for whatsapp anyway. Had this for free nP
Parent
like button, i miss it...

Ive had the same problem. For some weird reason the recharger of a samsung device did the trick.
they kicked me 3 times from nbs, i worked a lot in gsm but i wont help u cos im mad on nbs admins
Are you proud you little bitch?
Parent
Did you plug it on the motherboard or on your case? Try differents USB 2.0/3.0 ports.
Found the problem to be a broken pin inside the micro usb port :<
Need to replace it
Parent
new phone -= cheaper?/ dunno>>??
Parent
You need to plug it to get the orange light
gehe nicht ins licht!
I've got HTC desire HD and it had similar problem. tha charger hole in the phone is very loose already for a long time, but at one point it stopped recharging. I actually poked the hole with a knife a bit, getting some shit out of it and it worked.
+1 same shit for me

Your connector on the phone is broken. Either full with dust or something bend it.
Empty the shit from the connector where your usb cable goes
