USB-C Braided 10' Cord Loose And Doesn't Charge Tablet

[Tom Saurus]

My Sister has a Samsung Tablet and the cord that was provided with it works fine but she wanted a longer one as well. So she bought a ten foot braided usb-c at a Dollar Store up town and she got it home and the connection is very lose on the usb-c end, the full sized usb end has a tight fit into the charger adapter. Everything on YouTube gives you a solution saying clean out your usb-c port on the device but the tablet usb-c cable that came with it is very tight. Is there a way of making that cable fit more snuggly to hopefully fulfill its purpose of charging the tablet? Thank you in advance for any advice you can give me concerning this issue. She may have to accept the loss which would be sad and aggravating.

My Dollar Store has those for about $1.00. So have her buy one from another store that may have higher quality cables. I use Bi-Mart here but you could have her try Walmart.

TreeTops: Thank you for your response. She is going to Walmart next week, so I will suggest she find a cable and check for a tight fitting cable that will hopefully work. My sister paid eight dollars Canadian plus tax for the cable at a dollar store.

My Sister talked to a person at the Dollar Store. They replaced the cable with one that fit snug and she bought a similar cable that fits her phone. Then she got a new case to put her tablet in. It is rather nice that she bought it all there instead of making an Amazon Canada order. So far so good with everything that she bought.

That's good news, Tom.

I've not been into a store for many months now.
Around these parts, it's COVIDmart more than Walmart.
