Help Phone charges for 10 minutes and then stops.

[alvvie]

This problem just started. i accidentally left it off the charger overnight and it died. It wouldn't charge for a while, but i just removed the battery, put it back, and then it started to blink. when it stopped blinking i turned it back on, and this time it stopped charging my phone. it absolutely refused to charge it once i turned the phone on. i am using a simple data cable to charge it, as my wall charger got stolen. i have had this phone for a little over two years and it's only just now started acting up like this.
