Well, if the system doesn’t see anything from
lsusb
sudo dmesg -w
journalctl -f
when you plug it in and unplug it
then there are only few possible reasons:
- the USB port is broken
- the controller is broken
- the cable is broken
Eliminate the first option by testing the port with another device.
Check the controller on another machine for the other two
