ipod wont charge or connect to computer?

i have a 4th gen ipod touch, just recently i tried to plug it in and it wont say its charging and when i plug it in to the computer nothing happens. i know its not the cord, because ive tried using multiple cords. the ipod does charge though, just very very slowly, like it will go up 20% overnight if left plugged in, but it still says its not charging. the ipod was jailbroken, but ive never had this problem before, i want to do everything possible so i dont have to reset it, because it isnt backed up. it wont even let me update to the new software.

what can i do? ive already tried holding home and power, and resetting it.

Update:

sorry restarting, not resetting.

    If you understand any one who had a identical device, are attempting borrowing it first... Before you purchase a new wire. At the least you can understand by some means. If it really works then purchase the wire, if now not... Try cleaning your ports? :)
