I had a similar issue. My mogul would frequently become "disconnected" from the pc even though the charging orange LED was still lit. I figured that it was caused every time I moved or nudged the usb cable.

The fix was getting a sewing needle and gently nudging the usb contacts in the phone's usb port back up. It seems that after being plugged and unplugged so many times, those pins lose some of their springiness and need to be 'flexed' back up in order to make good contact with the cable's terminals.
