BLU Advance 4.0: USB Device Not Recognized

Wed, 15 Aug 2018 15:19:05 -0700

I've had this phone for over a year. Suddenly, it has stopped connecting properly to my PC. Still charges, but cannot transfer files. Other forums have suggested enabling the USB Debugging in the developer options, but that doesn't work. I've used the Universal UDB driver, but that doesn't work. I've tried returning the phone to factory defaults, but that doesn't work. This problem coincided with the first time I tried to connect the phone after switching to Windows 10, but the phone doesn't connect to an old computer that is still in Windows 7, so that isn't the problem. I tried switching the cable to another cable of the same type, but the same thing occurs, so that isn't the problem. I've also tried the PC suite program - some PDAnet thing that apparently is supposed to allow you to tether with an android phone - but when that was installed on both PC and phone the phone still didn't connect even in sharing the wi-fi signal, so that wasn't the solution either. Does anyone have any other advice?

My phone powered down regularly after running out of juice and after charging (the phone showed no signs of charging even) however when powered on it is stuck on the BLU screen and will not go past that. I have not dropped or damaged the phone in any way and don't understand how it just stopped working.
