Samsung Galaxy Y GT-S5360 file transfer, USB not recognised. No USB options in Settings menu
Some USB cables don't include the data wires as they are only meant for charging. Check if other devices work with this cable, and try another cable.
Also, if the cable is sure to work, take a look at My computer -> right click -> Manage -> Device manager and see if you can find your phone there and try upgrading the driver from there.
