Hello,
I searched the internet and on CCM, but I couldn't find the answer that concerns me.
I have a Samsung Tab A (2016), Android. My PC runs Windows 7.
When I connect my tablet to my PC via USB cable, it does not recognize it. It only charges.
When I connect another device to the same USB (camera, external hard drive), it works just fine.
Does anyone have a solution, please?
Configuration: Windows / Chrome 78.0.3904.108

Hello,
The problem is starting to become clear.
It's either the cable or the socket on the tablet that's not working properly.
This helps understand why you don't get a notification when you connect.
If it's the cable, that's not a big deal. I think it's a standard micro USB/USB cable. You can find one everywhere easily. It doesn't have to be a Samsung cable.
If it's the socket on the tablet, that’s much more troublesome. You’ll need to go through a repair service. Just check that there’s no dust inside (brush, compressed air can).
For now, you can connect using Wifi. I'll refer you to the tutorial I made: here.
You just need to download a file manager that supports network connections. The tutorial is detailed. It works well and the communication is as fast as with the cable.
