I can tell something is flaky with the port connection on the Kobo. Sometimes plugging the USB cord in doesn't bring up the "Computer detected" dialogue option to connect to the computer, or I'll see it come up for a second before it disappears and the Kobo then just displays the regular screen. When it does that, I can get the Computer detected prompt back up by pressing the USB cord harder into the port, but then it's still not a firm connection, because a little movement will sometimes break the connection. And even when it says it's connected and the I get the "Connected and charging" screen, the drive doesn't appear in Windows.
According to this description, it most likely seems that you damaged the USB socket. And you need to either solder it or change the device under warranty (if any).

Have you tried connecting the device to another computer, by the way? You do not have this in a post.
