If you phone isn't being recognized by your computer when it's connected via USB, chances are it is probably the cable. Some USB cables are 'power only' and do not have the wires needed to carry data, so the phone will charge but Windows will not detect the device. This is a problem if you want to copy pictures or video from your phone to your computer. Try a new cable before you go crazy troubleshooting this!!
