Hi all, I brought my Z mini player on holiday without the original power cable, I brought instead a apple usb-c cable as it’s a bit longer than the original, however I never tested before I left home 😡and now it doesn’t work when I add to the TV (says no power to the source), can someone advise what power cable will work with a Z mini?. Tks

You can try using any available 5v USB charger or USB port that supplies more than 1.5A.
For example there might be a USB port on the TV that can supply power to your mini. -

FYI i know this is late. Try flipping the USB C cord around. A lot of aftermarket cheapo cords are not true USB C where you can insert them both ways.
Say the usb c has a logo on one side no logo on the other. Only the logo side up may work. Flip it and the box goes into power on power off due to lack of power.
