Check the usb cable and also go into settings>applications>development and make sure usb debugging is on. I dont know if that actually matters but I always keep it on. The main thing is maybee for some reason the usb cable wont transmit data anymore but it will still charge. I have had that happen to me before with other devices. That is easy enough to test. I know that some wires are only ment to be used for charging and wont transmit data.

Probably just need the drivers for the phone!

He said that he already has the drivers installed it sounds like it was working and it stopped working. That is what made me think that the usb wire somehow broke but I was reading the link you posted and it looks like there is an updated version of the drivers so maybe he needs to update.
If you check out the post “connecting to my pc” in this forum I think it is on page 2. I put step by step instructions for installing the drivers through the lg website with the lg support tool. Once you have the support tool it should keep your drivers up to date. If not automatically then it is at least easier to check for the updates anyway. So if you haven’t already done that I would do that. But I still think you should try a different USB cable first just to see if that is the problem.
