I've had cables fail within 3 months. It can be invisible, and usually happens when the cable is flexed too much or too often close to the connector at either end (usually close to the mobile device). Cables fail often.

Thank you all for your insightful help.

I found a friend who had my exact phone and connected theri cable and it re-charged in less than 20 minutes.

There was no indication 2 days before that the cable and/or charger was failing.

Does anyone recall car batteries which would have problems turning over after a while as a warning the battery was dying?

The phone is 10 months old and the charger and/or cable fails?

No wonder new fridges fail in 8 years now.

Thank you again for your caring thoughts.

Charles.
