iPod 5 charger isn't working! What do I do?
Without knowing if your charge is dead, try using a USB cable connected to your Mac, to charge it that way.


  To charge iPod, connect it directly to a computer's USB port (not a
  keyboard) and make sure standby, hibernation, or sleep mode is turned
  off. Important: iPod will stop charging if the computer it's connected
  to enters standby, hibernation, or sleep mode.


If you have a volt meter then check the pins of the cable coming out of the charger.
