Ledger Nano S & Nano X Hardware Issues: Charging, Screen, and Battery
Sometimes the problem isn’t the app — it’s the device itself. This page covers common hardware issues like Ledger Nano X not charging, Ledger Nano X screen not working, and Ledger Nano X battery issue, plus a few tips for Ledger Nano S.
Ledger Nano X Not Charging
If your Ledger Nano X not charging, try this:
• Use the original USB cable that came with your device.
• Test a different USB port on your computer or a different power adapter.
• Gently check the charging port for dust or debris.
• Leave it plugged in for at least 1–2 hours before assuming it’s not working.
If the Nano X still doesn’t charge, contact official Ledger Live Support to see your options for repair or replacement.
Ledger Nano X Screen Not Working
A Ledger Nano X screen not working can be scary, but there are a few steps you can try:
• Connect the device to your computer and see if Ledger Live detects it.
• If the app recognizes your device but the screen is blank or frozen, reach out to support.
• Do not enter your recovery phrase on any website or into any other device trying to “fix” the issue.
Always wait for instructions from official support before attempting more advanced steps.
Ledger Nano X Battery Issue
If you’re seeing a Ledger Nano X battery issue, such as fast draining or refusing to hold a charge:
• Make sure your firmware is up to date using the Ledger Live app.
• Try a different charging cable and adapter.
• Use the device while it’s plugged in if the battery is weak.
• If nothing improves, contact Ledger Live Support for further help.
For Ledger Nano S devices, battery isn’t usually a concern (they draw power from USB), but faulty cables or ports can still cause connection issues.
