Will not stay connected via USB

[BenC]

I can verify this! I went looking for another sync/charger cable and ended up at a Sprint store. No sync cables, but I did pick up a travel charger that had connections that appeared to be the same as the home charger cable. I started this search because the car charger would not stay in the port. Anyway, I got home and found that the cable charged but did not sync. All cables are not the same. Also pay attention to the tabs on the male end - if they are not the appropriate height, then the cable will not stay connected. This particular cable and the way it is built requires little movement to work.

Have you tried plugging it in to another PC? You sure the USB ports on the original PC aren't at fault?
