Your Xiaomi phone connects via USB but the PC doesn't recognize it? Or the charging cable doesn't charge? Both issues usually have simple fixes.

For USB Not Recognized by PC

Fix 1: Select the Correct USB Mode
When you plug the phone into a PC, a notification appears at the top of the screen. Pull down the notification shade and tap "USB Connected" → select File Transfer (MTP) mode. Without this, the PC sees only a charging device.

Fix 2: Use a Data Cable (Not a Charge-Only Cable)
Many USB-C cables are charge-only and have no data wires. Try a different cable that is explicitly marked as a "data cable" or comes with a laptop/PC.

Fix 3: Install Xiaomi USB Drivers on Windows
Download and install Mi USB Driver from the official Xiaomi website. Windows sometimes needs a specific driver to recognize Xiaomi devices.

Fix 4: Try a Different USB Port
Switch to a USB 3.0 port (usually blue) or try the rear ports if using a desktop PC. Front panel USB ports sometimes have insufficient power or data bandwidth.

Fix 5: Enable USB Debugging (For ADB Access)
Settings → Additional Settings → Developer Options → enable USB Debugging. This is needed for ADB/Android file transfer tools.

For Charging Port Issues

Fix 1: Clean the Port
Use a dry toothpick to remove lint from the USB-C port. Partial blockage is the most common charging port issue.

Fix 2: Try the Original Charger and Cable
Third-party cables may not make full contact. Test with the Xiaomi-branded cable that came in the box.

Fix 3: Check for Bent or Damaged Pins
Use a flashlight to inspect the USB-C port. If pins are visibly bent or corroded, the port needs professional repair.
