Q: iPhone 5 on iOS7 won't charge over USB
I updated my iPhone 5 to iOS 7 and plugged it into my PC with the USB cable like I always do and my phone no longer charges, it keeps draining the battery. Is this a known issues and is there a fix for it? Discouraging!!

Turns out I had a bad USB cable.., which is still odd since it will work on the block plug, just not recoginized on PC. I used my wife's lightening cable and it came up fine and charged. My cable was working fine prior to iOS 7 .., I guess just a coincidence that it no longer works reliably? (I did get it to work once last night, but it failed again this morning)
At $20 a cable, these should be guranteed and replaced for LIFE!!
