Cable Damage

Tell us about your damaged or faulty cable, select every issue that applies, and submit your repair request for professional assessment.

Repair Instead of Replace

Damaged cables can become unreliable, stop charging or transferring data correctly, or present a safety concern when the outer insulation or connector has been damaged. Tell us exactly what is happening so we can assess the cable and advise whether repair or replacement is appropriate.

Cable identification:

If you are unsure of the exact cable type or model, provide as much information as you can and describe the devices the cable is normally used with.

How are you sending the cable?

Are you including the original packaging?

Are you sending any additional items with the cable?

Power adapter Device used with the cable Cable adapter Connector adapter Other accessory

CABLE SAFETY WARNING: If the cable has exposed conductors, severe insulation damage, melted sections, signs of burning, overheating or other damage that could create a safety risk, stop using it and tell us about the damage before sending it.

Step 2: Previous Repairs, Damage & Use

Please tell us about previous repairs, physical damage, environmental exposure or anything else that may have affected the cable.

Has the cable had any previous repairs or modifications?

Has the cable been exposed to liquids or moisture?

Is there any visible physical damage?

Physical Damage Details

How is the cable normally used?

Previous work information:

Please tell us about previous repair or modification work even if the current problem appears unrelated. This helps us understand the cable’s history before assessment.

Step 3: Connection, Charging & Usage Information

Please provide information about how the cable behaves during normal use and which devices or equipment are affected.

What device or equipment is the cable normally connected to?

What does the other end connect to?

Does the cable provide power or charging?

Does the cable transfer data?

Has another cable been tested?

Has the cable been tested with another device?

Important Testing Information

Useful testing information:

If the fault only happens when the cable is moved, bent, connected at a particular angle or used with a particular device, please describe this in the box above.

Step 4: Tell Us What Faults You Are Experiencing

Select all faults that apply to your cable. Multiple faults can be selected across the sections below.

01 — Physical Cable Damage

Frayed cable covering Split or damaged insulation Exposed conductors or wiring Cable cut or severed Cable crushed or compressed Cable badly bent or kinked Melted or heat-damaged section Burn marks or discolouration Cable pulled away from connector Other physical cable damage

Additional notes on physical cable damage:

02 — Connector Damage

Connector bent Connector broken Connector loose Connector separating from cable Connector contacts or pins damaged Connector housing damaged Connector dirty or contaminated Connector does not fit correctly Connector falls out or will not stay connected Other connector damage

Additional notes on connector damage:

03 — Charging & Power
