Won't charge unless power is OFF. !?

I walked into my room to find my 18 mo old daughter with the tip of the mini USB charger that came with my SGN in her mouth. I quickly grabbed it, inspected it, and dried it off and nothing seemed to be wrong. She also had my SGN but I don't think anything was wrong with that either. But now my SGN will not charge unless it's OFF. If I power it on and insert the mini USB...nothing. I even plugged the charger into my old OG Droid and it started charging right up. But when I hook it up to my SGN...nothing. Unless it's OFF of course. WTF??? Also, nothing happens when I try to hook it up to my computer. And nothing happens when I use a different mini USB/charger. But it's not the mini USB since it started charging my OG Droid but not my SGN.
Help/Suggestions?
