I am having this same exact problem. My USB actually worked only once after i unboxed the BB and connected it for the first time to my PC.

Ever since then it has been unstable. device manager would detect my BB and then it would undetect it.

Now when I plug my BB into my PC it shows the charging icon for two seconds and then it disappears, and my BB is still not detected by windows or desktop manager when I plug it into my PC's USB port.

I am plugging my BB directly into the USB ports on my IBM Thinkpad. I tried almost everything. I have desktop manager 5.0....I thought that my USB ports may be dead but I plugged other devices into them and windows detected them with no problem.

I also thought that my BB's port was dead but its not because when i plug it into the wall charger it charges fine. this must be a software issue....

Could anyone help us? we're both having the same problem :(
