Might just be a broken cable.

We have a fair few USB cables that have given up.

That would have been my first check.

I think you've misunderstood, that wasn't a "I'll send you some cables", it was saying they've had cables that have broken before.

You can get replacement USB cables from Amazon/eBay/Pound shops.

I think you've already been told that its not going to happen.

Since you can't get OTG working, the next easiest solution is so stick an FTP service app on your phone (something like this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.theolivetree.ftpserver&hl=en_GB&gl=US for example) and then you can use Filezilla or any FTP program to retrieve your files without the need to physically connect anything.

I've successfully used AirDroid before. It uses your WiFi network to connect the phone to the PC for sharing files. (It essentially does the same as what's suggested above but via a web browser on the PC connecting to an FTP server -AirDroid - running on the phone)
