Samsung note 9 - Thinks it has a usb connected and will not charge.

[JamesSyms123456789]

I was trying to copy holiday photos to a usb.

Now it thinks it has a usb plugged in and will not charge..

I've factory reset it and cleared the chache yet still cant charge my phone..

I cant plug it into a PC to use the usb debugging.

When I try to give the phone back power it says it cannot do it..

Any ideas folks ???

Thanks in advance..

My note 9 would intermittently drop the connection when I had it in the car using Android auto. The connector seemed loose. Took it to the TMO store and they suggested taking it to the UBreakiFix store which is Samsung authorized instead of paying the $100 deductable on my plan.
The UBreakiFix store replaced the connector under warranty since I've had it less than a year and they couldn't see any visible physical damage.
