What should I do if, when I connect my phone to a laptop via a USB cable, the laptop does not see it? Let's consider the main reasons for such a malfunction.
Reasons why the laptop does not see the phone:
1. The USB cable is broken.
This is the most common reason why your phone might not be visible.
Firstly, such a problem can arise from the fact that the cable was not used carefully.
Secondly, it can be of poor quality due to its cost.
Or pets damaged it while playing. It's pretty easy to check. You need to take another cable and try the procedure with it. If everything works properly, you will have to buy a new cable from the store.
2. Problems with the phone.
If everything is okay with the cable and laptop, then it might be the phone itself. It may be such that synchronization was disabled on it, a firmware flew or another reason. A rather commonplace, but still working method is to reboot the device.
If this does not help, then you can try to remove the battery and wait for a while. Otherwise, the device will need to be flashed.
3. The virus has damaged the laptop.
This reason is also common. The fact is that a virus could get into the computer and block various connections through the ports.
As a rule, this most often happens in connection with the use of an unverified flash drive, which was taken, for example, from a friend. You should thoroughly scan your computer with an antivirus and remove malicious software. If this does not help, then you will have to contact the specialists.
