Does the charging cord feel loose? Maybe lint is in there

Well yeah but thats just the port being cheap.

Try cleaning the charging port out with a wooden toothpick (wooden because it doesn't conduct electricity). Even if it looks clean you would be surprised how much stuff gets stuck in there. Just be gentle so that the pick doesn't break off in the port, because then you have a whole new problem to deal with.

Its been in a case for an extended time. I dont think that was the issue. I do try to pick all that grime from whatever slot I can find in my controllers once every few months. I use toothpicks over pins to avoid scratching.

It did turn back on finally, but its been on and off the charger for lengthy periods over the last couple days. I guess it decided to turn itself back on only after I chose to make this post, and before I tried to get a hold of Nintendo.
