Hi, welcome to AC!
Try different computer or different ports but wouldn't be surprised a phone that old having hardware issue.

I bought it new back in what year it came out ?
It's working fine have more older phones I just wanted to try this out on this phone because when it goes wrong I don't mind.
Tried different ports and usb cables.

Maybe because I'am trying this out in a Virtualbox or should that work also?
