And I have to say it's not just me. When I kept not getting my Kindles to connect I found a thread online through searching for troubleshooting where others like me said they couldn't figure it out either but had to get the USB cord the Kindle came with to get it to finally connect - weird, but that's what solved my issue too after their suggestion. I have no idea now which thread/forum it was since it's been a few months. Last edited by Paperbackstash; 12-01-2019 at 05:54 PM. |

manufacturing tolerances will affect how far in you can push the cable to make the connection. there's the actual pins length and the thickness of the plastic/rubber buffer around them to consider, in both plug and socket, and also the snugness of the fit.
I have had 3rd party cables that would fall out of a device at the slightest touch, yet the original cable was tight. and cables that simply did not go in far enough to work as the cable end moulding was very short. OTOH if the moulding is too long, you'll get the moulding in, but all the pins may not make contact. cables are so cheap it's really a 1st world problem, find one that works, label it so, move on... |
