Usb Connection

My Sony HDR CX580V is having problems with the USB connection. I've only had this camera for about 2 months. I used to be able to connect the USB cable from the camera to my laptop, click on USB connect, then I could begin to import. Or, I could begin to charge just by connecting it to my laptop. Now it all of a sudden does not do either. I did not change any settings, and I treat my camera very gently, so I don't see why it would all of a sudden stop working. Please help!
