Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your charger:

Cleaning: Disconnect the charger from both the wall outlet and the laptop before cleaning. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the surface. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosols.
Cable Care: Avoid bending or crimping the power cables excessively, especially near the connectors. Do not place heavy objects on the cables.
Storage: When not in use, store the charger in a cool, dry place. Coil the cables loosely; do not wrap them tightly around the adapter.
Inspection: Periodically inspect the charger unit, cables, and connectors for any signs of damage, such as fraying, cuts, or discoloration. If damage is found, discontinue use immediately.

8. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Chicony laptop charger, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

Problem	Possible Cause	Solution
Laptop not charging.	Loose connection, faulty outlet, damaged charger/cable, incompatible charger.	Ensure all connections are secure. Try a different wall outlet. Inspect the charger and cables for visible damage. Verify the charger's specifications (voltage, amperage, connector type) match your laptop's requirements. Restart your laptop.
Charger is hot to the touch.	Normal operation, poor ventilation, excessive load.	A warm charger is normal. If it's excessively hot, disconnect it. Ensure the charger is in a well-ventilated area, not covered by blankets or placed on soft surfaces. Reduce heavy laptop usage while charging.
Sparking when plugging in.	Normal initial spark, faulty outlet, damaged plug.	A small spark is common. If it's large or persistent, unplug immediately. Try a different outlet. Inspect the plug for damage. Do not use if damaged.
