8. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your AOHI 165W Laptop Car Charger Adapter, please refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

• No Power/Charging:
  • Ensure the car charger is firmly inserted into the vehicle's cigarette lighter socket.
  • Check if the vehicle's cigarette lighter socket is receiving power (e.g., by testing with another device).
  • Verify that the charging cable is securely connected to both the charger and your device.
  • Try a different charging cable to rule out cable malfunction.
  • Check your vehicle's fuse box for a blown fuse related to the cigarette lighter socket.
• Slow Charging:
  • Ensure your device and charging cable support the fast charging protocols (PD 3.1, PD 3.0, QC5.0) offered by the charger. Lower-quality cables or incompatible devices may result in slower charging speeds.
  • For 140W charging, ensure your cable is rated for 140W and your device supports PD 3.1.
  • If multiple devices are connected, the power output per port may be dynamically adjusted. Disconnect less critical devices to prioritize charging for a specific device.
• Charger Feels Warm:
  • It is normal for the charger to become warm during high-power charging. The AOHICE 3.0 temperature control system is designed to manage heat effectively. If the charger becomes excessively hot or emits smoke/odor, immediately disconnect it and contact support.
