Purl5, do you have a thumb drive or other item you can connect to your computer to check the USB port? More than likely it is fine. Many computers have low and high-powered USB ports. Often you can plug an item into the low-power port and the item will be recognized but not charged. Sometimes if it is a device that needs high power like I suspect the 950 might be, then it won't be recognized. You need to plug the high power device into the high power port for it to be recognized and charge properly. The reason I made the suggestions above was because they could make a difference to the power requirements. One computer I have has special symbols by the USB port so you can tell the difference. My other computer does not, and it is trial and error to figure it out. So don't be too alarmed about your front port because it is probably fine. Hence the suggestion to see if some other USB device works ok.
