Default 9700 is not detected on the DM and PC, but it's charging ....

It's an old 9700 my wife has (she's using Bellagio as for now)
Before it's being hospitalized, it can be charged and detected on the PC and DM, but you have to twist the usb cable head here and there a bit until you find the right position.

It's more hardware issue rather than software.

The technician said that it doesn't have enough power on the something to be detected on the PC?
I don't really get what he said.

Anyone had the same issue like mine?

I tried 4 different USB cable and still no luck, so it's the hardware.
Do you know what kind of hardware issue is related to this kind of problem?
Tech said the USB port is separated from the rest when it's opened.

Bring it to a repair shop, the USB port's soldiering has become loose.
