Charging problems

My phone is low battery (5% currently) and won't charge when it is plugged in, I've tried both through a pc usb port and through a mains charger. It will only charge if switched on before plugging in and then putting the charger in, however currently it is not letting me switch it on and only flashes the white light like it does when it's completely dead.
When I plug it in, it automatically switches the phone on and it tells me I have 5% battery. It shows no indication of charging but the battery is not going down (but not up either.) Also when I take the charger out, it switches the phone off.

I have tried multiple chargers and had the same problem. Suggestions?
