  (Recommendation: Turn the power switch off, disconnect the power plug, and remove dust and debris with a dry cloth.)

• The connector on the device side is loose.
  (Recommendation: Push the connector firmly all the way in.)

• Stress is being applied to the power cord. 
  (Recommendation: Position the power cord so that it is not subjected to stress.)

• Disconnecting the plug by pulling on the power cord.
