My Sprint HTC ONE M8 (Harmon Kardon edition) will not charge, please help!



Hi, my HTC One M8 was acting very odd as of yesterday. I usually leave it charging over night but this morning it only charged to 60 percent, I disregarded it and continued on with my day. I found that during the day my phones battery was decreasing rather faster than usual. When I got home it was dead, so I charged it and it turned on but stayed on 1 percent. I was given the notification that said "phone charging too slow, try original charger," when I was using the original charger. I unplugged the USB cable and put it back in hopes of getting rid of that notification, only to find that I was greeted by a new notification that stated, "phone not charging, try different charger." So I decided to let it charge for an hour, when I came back it was still 1 percent. So I then decided to try charging it with a different cable, different outlet, and different charger. After trying a variety of different combinations nothing changed, then I tried charging it from my PC. It took a while but it got to 13 percent. So I put it back in the wall charger and found that the charge was actually decreasing. So I then found out that I should clean the charging port, there was some lint in it so I cleaned it out by removing it with a paper clip, still I had the same notification. So with the twelve percent I had left I factory resseted it in hopes of fixing my phone. Still even after that, it doesn't charge. So I checked to see if my PCwould still charge it, unfortunately it no longer did. With no charging solution my phone died. I have currently left it plugged into an outlet but the device stays off with it showing the battery charging but it still says 1 percent. I've tried every solution, cleaning the port, different cable, charger, and outlet, even factory resetting. I don't have warranty either. Should I take it to a repair shop? All help is appreciated!
