sounds like you need to replace the dock connector. you could try cleaning the outer usb port first... often gets pocket lint/dust in which prevents pins from making contact with usb leads. Also check your lead for dirt and damage to pins/flex

the guide for replacing the part is also on that page

+ would the USB cable also need to be checked or replaced?

oops, i call it a lead.. I mean USB cable, thanks mayer :-)
