My 2nd gen stand stopped working

My 2nd-gen stand stopped working, and it will not charge my iPad. It's not a power card issue.

@lonestar66 I am going to assume a couple things that you switched the power bricks and tried completely different power cords.  I had this happen one time and I had tried the same things,  but I would also try different outlet and surge protector just in case (I know sounds stupid and insulting, but I got a new stand and the problem was still there.)  It ended up being the surge protector.  The power adapter would charge a phone, but wouldn't work on the stand.  I have also had a couple issues with the USB hub on Gen 1's.  The one thing I believe is true is that the USB-C on Gen 2 is a higher wattage than just standard USB, so not every USB-C can drive the stand.
