Unique USB Data Issue

[JakeG1984]

I have the d2spr with OctOS 7.1.1 installed (from April 2017 I think). This rom has been awesome and I have been able to connect via USB and transfer files in the past but now I cannot. When I plug in USB I always get a charging indication on the phone but no evidence of a data connection either at the phone or the PC. I have the USB mode set to MTP but when I plug in the phone it acts as though I have Charging Only selected. Windows device manager shows no activity. There are no UNKOWN devices listed and the PC shows no sign of hardrive or processor activity when I connect the phone. I have tested with 5 different USB cables and three different PC's. They all behave identically. Additionally I have plugged the phone in while in DOWNLOAD MODE and still the behavior is identical. I have fresh samsung phone drivers installed. One of these PC's have seen this phone before the other two have not. I'm beginning to think my micro usb port on the phone has taken a biff but it has always and still does charged perfectly.

I could try a factory reset but that doesn't seem to jive with getting nothing in DOWNLOAD MODE. I haven't loaded ODIN to see if it sees the phone but even without odin loaded it should still load a bunch of devices in device manager.

EDIT: I have also booted into recovery and it also behaves identically when plugged into the PC - no response but it charges

Any ideas? I have searched the forums but no one I could find has this exact issue of absolutely no response from the PC.

Thanks in advance!

I have had this for quite awhile. USB port is done. It's also a very difficult repair. Now I use flashfire instead of Odin because of this. But flashfire doesn't do bootloader and modems are iffy. So only flashfire a version you are already on (nd8, ndc, etc.)

UPDATE: I was able to adjust the usb cable to just the right position for Odin to see it and was able to flash via Odin. The weird thing is no amount of wiggle gets windows to recognized it. Thanks for your response.
