Troubleshooting
Device not receiving power
Ensure both ends of the cable are securely plugged in. Verify that the power source is active and the connected device is switched on. Check for any visible damage to the cable or connectors.
Intermittent power loss
Inspect the cable for kinks or damage. Ensure connectors are fully seated. Try using the cable with a different device or power source to isolate the issue.
