Troubleshooting
View all →Common Failure Modes
Cables and adapters generally fail due to physical stress, such as bending, pulling, or repeated insertion and removal. They are not designed to be repaired; when a failure occurs, the item must be replaced.
Maintenance
View all →Clean Metal Contacts
Oxidation and dirt on the metal pins can cause unreliable connections or slow charging speeds. Wipe connectors lightly to maintain conductivity.
Inspect for Fraying
Exposed wires can lead to short circuits, device damage, or fire hazards. Visually check the length of cables, especially near the connectors.
Organize and Unkink
Tangled cables put stress on internal copper wires, causing them to break. Untangle and properly coil cables that are not in use.
