Why is my tablet not charging?

The frustrating moment when you plug in your tablet, only to find it’s not charging, can be both confusing and alarming. 

Possible Causes

  1. Faulty Cables or Chargers: Often, wear and tear or internal damage can render charging cables or the charger itself ineffective. 
  2. Software Glitch: Sometimes, the device’s software might misread the battery status. 
  3. Damaged Ports: Continuous plugging and unplugging can damage the charging port. 
  4. Battery Issues: Over time, all batteries degrade, which can affect charging. 

Steps to Troubleshoot

  • Start with the basics: check the charging cable and the charger on another device. 
  • Restart your tablet. A simple reboot can fix minor software glitches. 
  • Examine the charging port for any visible damage or foreign objects. 
  • If you’ve had your tablet for several years, consider the battery’s health. 

If the issue persists, a professional assessment might be necessary.
