I have a ge J1470 s with a built in flip out usb for downloading & charging. When inserted directly into the tower ports there is no connection, it won't charge the battery either. Any other unit using the tower usb there isn't an issue. Is there a way to salvage this camera?

Repairs to this may be cost prohibitive.

Try to use the feature on a different computer's USB port (I know that the USB port works on other devices).

If this does not work, it is time for a new camera.
