USB-C / Thunderbolt Connection diagnostics

Test what the browser can see. Know when it cannot.

Separate connector/cable/power/display/data problems by testing the function you expect rather than assuming every USB-C port/cable supports the same features.

Relevant live checks

First diagnostic sequence

Do the high-signal checks before risky changes

  1. 1

    Define whether you need charging, data, display or Thunderbolt

  2. 2

    Try a known-good cable rated for that function

  3. 3

    Test the attached device directly if possible

What DeviceOK/browser can help check
  • Test some attached USB devices
  • Confirm browser-visible cameras/audio/input devices downstream
What this browser page cannot prove
  • Read cable e-marker capabilities generically
  • Measure USB Power Delivery negotiation
  • Prove Thunderbolt lane/link health
