In order for the computer to recognize the Droid, you must "Mount" it.

To do this, first plug in the usb cord to the computer and the droid. Then touch the notification bar on the top of the droid and draw your finger down. Touch "USB connected". A popup screen appears asking you if you want to "Mount". Choose "Mount" and the Droid will appear as another drive on your computer.

Hope that helps.

If Verizion doesn't replace it for you, you can get the usb port fixed at Droid Repair or if your tech-savvy there is a guide that shows you how to disassemble the droid at Electronics Repair Guide.

My droid is stuck

Hello,

the problem is as a result of software corruption. Your phone operating system is corrupt for one reason or the other. The phone operating system might have gotten virus through bluetooth transfer, internet browsing or via the memory card.

To solve the problem, you need to flash the phone . Flashing the phone means reinstalling the phones operating system software files. The phone will be fully formatted and a fresh operating system files will be reinstalled.

You can use software updater to flash the phone. Download software updater from motorola.com. Install it on your computer, open the software updater, connect the phone via usb cable to your computer. Allow the computer to recognize the phone, then click update. Follow all direction from the software updater application. And your computer must be connected to the internet.

I hope you understand this.

Good luck.
