What was found

CABIN LT MOST FWD REAR FACING SEAT, NR 3 SIDE LEDGE OUTLET REPLACED DUE TO I-PAD CHARGER ARCING. R & R THE CABIN SIXTY-HERTZ OUTLET AT THE LT FWD ARM LEDGE STORAGE BOX AND OPS CHECKS GOOD IAW THE ACFT SUP MM 24-25-05. INSTALLED, PN: R4T-BLACK. UPON FURTHER REVIEW, THE I-PAD CHARGER WAS NOT FAULTY. IT APPEARS THAT THE CHILD SAFETY SHUDDER PREVENTED OR CAUSED THE PLUG FROM BEING INSERTED IN A NORMAL WAY. A 45-DEGREE APPLICATION TO THE PLUG HAD TO HAVE OCCURRED WHICH ALLOWED THE PLUG PRONGS TO CONTACT THE SUPPORT BAR THAT WAS PARTIALLY THROUGH THE OUTLET OUTER PLASTIC CASE.
