Slow Charging

**Causes:**

• Charger wattage too low for the device
• Cable not rated for fast charging (3A vs 5A)
• Charger lacks the required protocol (PD, PPS)
• Device is in use while charging
• Background apps consuming power

**Solutions:**

• Use a charger with sufficient wattage for your device
• Use a cable rated for your charger’s output (5A for 100W+)
• Ensure the charger supports PD/PPS for your device
• Let the device charge without heavy use

Not Charging

**Causes:**

• Faulty cable or connector
• Debris in the charging port
• Charger not compatible with device protocol
• Device battery issue

**Solutions:**

• Try a different cable
• Clean the charging port with a soft brush
• Verify the charger supports your device’s charging protocol
• Test with another charger to isolate the issue

Overheating

**Causes:**

• Silicon charger under sustained load
• Poor ventilation around the charger
• Charger placed on soft surfaces (bed, couch)
• Charger is underpowered for the device

**Solutions:**

• Use a GaN charger (runs cooler)
• Place charger on hard surfaces with ventilation
• Use a charger with adequate wattage
• Avoid covering the charger during use

Intermittent Charging

**Causes:**

• Loose cable connection
• Worn charging port
• Faulty charger cable
• Power management software issues

**Solutions:**

• Replace the cable
• Have the charging port inspected
• Try a different charger
• Update device firmware/drivers

Most charging problems are caused by the charger, cable, or port — not the device itself. Start by testing with a known-good charger and cable.
