Something important, it must be said, okay Excessive dirt can cause charging to not be carried out properly In extreme cases, it can prevent this by not being able to reach the connector to reach the connection points. There are many recommendations when cleaning this outlet, but let’s see a fairly simple one with something we all have at home.
