Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your diymore Type C USB Tester, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Display is blank or not turning on. | No power supply, loose connection, or device malfunction. | Ensure the tester is properly connected between a working power source and a device. Try a different cable or power source. |
| Readings are inaccurate or fluctuating. | Poor connection, faulty cable, or device drawing unstable power. | Check all connections for tightness. Try a different USB-C cable. Test with another device or power source to isolate the issue. |
| Device connected to tester is not charging. | Tester malfunction, power source issue, or device issue. | Bypass the tester and connect the device directly to the charger to confirm the charger and device are working. If they work directly, the tester might be faulty. |
| Physical connector detaches from the body. | Excessive force or improper removal. | Always plug and unplug the tester in a straight line without twisting or excessive force. If the connector is already detached, the unit may require replacement. |
