Help Computer won't recognize??

Recently, I've been having problems getting my phone to charge. It won't charge at all on a regular charger plugged into a wall. When I plug it in to a USB port on my computer (that has previously worked completely fine), it will charge to a certain amount and then just hold steady at a certain percent. The only way it seems to be charging correctly is in my car.

Around the same time I noticed that it wasn't charging properly, my computer also stopped recognizing my phone. When I plug it in, it doesn't even show as a device. I tried plugging it in to another computer (that I've previously not used with my Sequent) it tells me that the drivers aren't downloaded and the device has malfunctioned and the computer can't recognize it.

Any advice? If nothing else, I'd atleast like to get the stuff that's stored on the phone (pictures and such) without having to move them all to the SD card.
