Problems with s3 battery?

Hi, Im having problems with my samsung galaxy s3. I've had the phone for about a year and a half. I just recently have started to have problems with the battery on my phone. When I try to charge my phone, most times it stays at the same percent/or the percentage will even go down. I thought it was my charger at first so I got a new cord, it didnt change. Then I got a new plug in for my charger, still didnt work. Then I thought it was my battery so I ordered a new one and just started using it tonight, and it still wont charge. It just stays at the same percent. Also, when I try to plug it into my computer it doesnt recognize it. I'm not sure what's wrong with my phone or what to do...:confused:
 
It's a hardware problem, which you're evidently not going to diagnose yourself - and it can't be diagnosed online by someone else - so what you do is take it to a repair shop and have it repaired.

Sounds like your charging port. This happened to a friend of my recently. Have it checked out.
