Product Information

Dust or dirt inside the USB port on your device might be preventing the charger from being inserted correctly. The device or dongle you connected to has new features for USB-C that your PC (or phone) doesn’t support. It’s more likely than not that your device is fairly ancient if you ever find yourself having to use VGA. This once-ubiquitous connector can be identified by its shape - a trapeze with rounded edges, and the cable head, which is typically blue with screw prongs on either side. It also uses a 15-pin connector, with 5 pins across three rows.
