About this tag
Discussions tagged with cable issues cover problems where physical cable movement or connection quality disrupts device functionality. Common themes include USB headset audio cutting out when the cable is jostled, HDMI or DVI connections failing after a power supply replacement, IDE hard drives misreporting capacity due to cable select or cable faults, and laptop audio ports requiring the plug to be partially inserted for proper sound. These threads focus on troubleshooting intermittent hardware connections, checking cable seating, and ruling out driver or power supply causes before replacing cables.
