THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN SOLVED!!! To any teams who get this same problem: here is the solution: The USB connectors on these cables have very thin metal pins, and they are pushed into the insulation so they lose contact. Fixing the problem is just a matter of gently squeezing the flat side of the connector to increase the pressure on the pins once inserted.

More importantly, inserting them gently on the USB end and making sure that
the cable doesn't hang down (but runs across a flat surface near the laptop)
will prevent this from happening again.
