Possible Causes and Solutions

One of the most common reasons why a DJI Osmo may not be charging is a faulty charging cable or adapter. To troubleshoot this issue, try using a different cable and adapter to charge your Osmo.

2. Dirty or Corroded Charging Ports
Over time, the charging ports on your DJI Osmo and charging cable can become dirty or corroded, which can prevent the Osmo from charging properly. To clean the charging ports, use a soft brush or cotton swab dipped in rubbing alcohol. Be sure to allow the charging ports to dry completely before attempting to charge your Osmo.
