Step 3: Troubleshoot the USB cable
The USB cable is an important part of the charger because it connects the charger to the phone. Without it, it’s impossible for the charger to pass the current into the phone. So, we recommend you to check the USB cable after checking the charger. The easiest way to check the USB cable is working fine or not is to use another one USB cable. Then, just plug it into the charger and if the phone responds then the USB cable is the problem. The main purpose to do this is to check whether the phone responds after connecting to a new USB cable. If it didn’t, then just move to the next step.

If it’s that kind of loose, then try connecting it again to charge the phone. But if it’s an internal fault, then we recommend you to just visit the shop and tell the technician to fix the problem. Never try to open the phone to inspect it because it will automatically void the guarantee of the phone.
