The best thing to start with is your cable power adapter. If you’re using your computer, car charger, or wall adapter to charge the case, take a close look inside them for any debris or gunk that may have gotten in there that could be interfering with the charging process. After inspecting the power adapter, if you think you found anything that could stop your case from charging, don’t use a paperclip or anything sharp because that can cause problems with static electricity and it can do physical damage to your Galaxy Bud case or other components.
