I'm trying pretty hard not to panic right now, haha! I'm leaving for vacation tomorrow and my phone doesn't seem to be working.

I have a fairly new (I've had it for about 2 months) iPhone 6. It's not water damaged as far as I know, I haven't dropped it, and I just downloaded iOS 9.1 yesterday afternoon. My phone died earlier and I plugged it in and left it charging (I've been using a really crappy $5 charger for a few days now). I came back 20 minutes later to notice it had died while on the charger (pretty common when it comes to crappy chargers) but when I pressed the home and lock buttons to see whether or not the display said it was charging, nothing showed up. The screen was black. I held the home and lock buttons down for about 30 seconds- nothing. I changed outlets and left it charging for a bit and when I clicked the home button and lock button and it finally showed that it was dead, but charging. I let it be for another 20 minutes and the display was back to being black and it wouldn't show anything when I pressed the buttons. I switched to another crappy charger and it still isn't showing anything on the display when I press the buttons so I'm beginning to get worried. I don't think it is completely dead to the point where it wouldn't even show the connection display, so that's why I'm concerned that it is a matter of something being wrong with my phone, opposed to just the chargers. I leave for my trip at 7 am tomorrow therefore I have no time to visit an Apple or Verizon store. Help? Is this from iOS 9.1? The charger? 🙁
