Does the phone try to charge when connected? I would try a new cable. They can become damaged in different ways, sometimes they will charge but not transfer data or vice versa. If your pc isn't seeing out wouldn't think it'd be a software issue but you could try uninstalling the sync software for your phone and reinstalling it.
