Why is my Verizon Optimus Exceed 2 phone saying "Please use the original charger that came with this phone" when I use it now?!

It is the original Verizon charger (the ONLY charger I've ever had for this phone) and it is now s-l-o-w charging like molasses. 😞 Help! Any suggestions?

I've rebooted. I've looked to see if anything is blocking the tiny little port, but I honestly think I need a magnifying glass to see that better. Nothing is working so far. The phone is only about 4 or 5 months old. Yes, I know it's an old style phone, but I didn't need much and it was cheap.

Thanks for your help!!

Do you have another charger you can try? I've used numerous different chargers on that same phone with no issues.

I have had that happen on various devices and it turned out the charger went bad and a new one worked fine.  If another charger doesn't work then contact Verizon about warranty.  LG sent me a new one when this happened to a phone that was less than a year old.   Mary
