## 1. Check the [Basics](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/157133/tips-to-learn-excel-the-basics):

- [**Connector**](https://www.mindstick.com/category/article/hardware-technology) **& Cable:** Make sure the cable is snugly plugged into both the tablet and the charger.

- **Outlet Power:** Test the outlet with another device. If still a dud, try a different outlet.
- **Reboot:** Sometimes a quick restart can clear [software](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/23272/why-software-localization-is-important-for-your-business) glitches. Turn off your tablet and power it back on.

## 2. Clean Up:

- **[Charging](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/310460/why-you-should-have-charging-stations-at-events)** [**Port**](https://www.mindstick.com/news/2646/bis-releases-usb-type-c-charging-port-standards)**:** Dust and debris can build up. Turn off your tablet and gently clean the port with compressed air and a dry toothpick. Avoid sharp objects!
- **Charger & Cable:** Wipe down the charger pins and cable with a dry cloth.

## 3. Swap It Out:

- **Cable & Charger:** Try a different charging cable and wall charger, ideally one you know works with another device.
- **USB** **Port:** If you were charging through a computer, switch to a dedicated wall outlet.

## 4. Power Up:

- **Force Charge:** Some tablets have a force charging mode. Check your manual or manufacturer's [website](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/12445/5-ways-to-make-your-website-more-professional) for instructions.
- **Hard Reset:** This is a last resort, as it erases all data. Consult your manual for specific steps.
