Micromax Unite A092 not being detected all of a sudden - GSM-Forum

Hey guys,
was gifted an A092 a few days back. Worked fine until last night when Windows stopped detecting it. At first, after a few times disconnecting and connecting the cable, the phone started working again but after a while, the issue became permanent and continues to persist.

The phone charges when connected to the wall but doesn't charge nor does it get detected when plugged into the PC. Now when I pull the USB cable from the PC end and stick it into a different port, for a second or two, the "connected in charging mode" message appears in the pull down menu and Windows detects phone memory/storage briefly before both disappear.

Now I haven't had the opportunity to plug it into a different machine to check whether its getting detected but doesn't seem like a USB cable issue as every other phone in the house works on both the cables I have been using.

Another strange thing I think I should mention in the hope that it could lead to a resolution is that ever since this issue started, none of the phones are being detected by fastboot/adb and don't appear in Device Manager under Android Device as Android ADB Interface. Just two days back, I flashed an Xperia M with fastboot but now the phone doesn't show up under Android Devices, just as Sony 0104 or something. Same with a Galaxy Star Pro. I have reinstalled Android SDK, usb drivers, fastboot/adb but no dice. Opening up the command prompt and typing fastboot devices doesn't list any of these phones either.

So can someone please help me in determining whether this is a software or a hardware issue? Any suggestions are welcome and truly appreciated. Thanks.
