HardstyleZilink, since you already tried all the external options, I'd go and replace the battery. If that does not resolve it, you will have some issues with the lightning port connector. The sad part is that the connector is soldered to the logic board via the flex cable. PITA to replace if you can even find it. Try a new battery first.
