Hello, the device is not charging. It reached 14% and then gradually dropped to 0% and finally switched off. At the same time, I changed the charger and the cable, but nothing helped. Just so you know, when you plug it in you can see the charge indicator in the top right-hand corner (lightning bolt in the battery pictogram).
