What to Do If Phone Data Cable Cannot Charge

Just having a phone in hand is not enough, as running out of battery can be a “disaster” for many people. According to a survey, many people feel anxious when their phone battery is below 50%, so ensuring that the phone has sufficient battery is equally important. What could be the reasons if the phone data cable cannot charge?

Firstly, if you directly plug the data cable into a USB port, check if there are any hardware issues. Inspect the data cable itself for any signs of damage, and then see if there are any problems with the USB interface. Try using a different interface. If both of these aspects do not reveal any problems, you can check if the driver is installed. Some computers display the connection as a removable storage device, similar to a USB flash drive, which means it does not show as charging.

If you are not using a USB interface and are directly plugging it into a socket:

1.The socket may not have power supply. Generally, there is a separate button on the socket to turn on the power supply. Check if the power supply is functioning properly.

2.The charging head may not be properly inserted. It may be due to carelessness that the charging head is not completely plugged into the socket. Reinsert it and see if the phone can charge.

3.There may be an issue with the charger. If there is a problem with the charger head, unplug the data cable and connect it to a computer or another USB interface to see if it can charge. If it shows charging successfully, then the issue lies with the charging head, and it should be replaced promptly. Conversely, if it still does not charge when plugged into a USB interface, it may be a faulty data cable. Try using someone else’s data cable connected to the charging head to see if it works.

The data cable manufacturer advises that there are many reasons why a phone data cable cannot charge, but the troubleshooting process is relatively simple. Hopefully, this issue will not cause too much trouble for everyone.
