The charge signal will pop up for like 4 seconds when plugged in, then vanish. I also can't connect it to any PC. I have tried about 6 cords that work fine with other devices so that isn't the problem. I notice it'd sometimes work after a reboot but even that isn't working so well anymore. The phone is in good shape, never been dropped or anything, also the battery life is still good lasting all day when charged, its only 13 months old.

First of all, will it charge when plugged into a wall outlet?

Was it working correctly in the past? If so what did you do just before it stopped?

Do you have Desktop Manager installed on the PC? You need that for the proper drivers.
