Hi Debbie,
There could be several reasons why your phone may not be recognized by a computer. I found an article that goes through all the possibilities and gives you solutions for them.
LG V40 ThinQ won't connect to PC? Just do this
In a nutshell, here's the list.
- Default USB connection type on the phone is "USB Charging".
Change the setting to "File Transfer" or "MTP". - Use Developer Options to change the default connection type as listed above so it stays that way.
- Try a different USB port on the computer.
- Check the charging cable.
My addition: I have seen cables that are for charging only and don't support data communication. - Update your MTP driver on the computer.
- Use the Android File Transfer app for a Mac.
- Run Windows Device Troubleshooter.
- Try a different PC.
- Take it to an authorized service center.
Hopefully something in there will help. Let us know how it goes!
