English term or phrase: Cosmetic issues
Hello,

I am translating a LED light manual and have come across this sentence:
"Check the connector for cosmetic issues."

Does it mean literally that? Just some damage to the appearance?

Thank you!

https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/surface/forum/all/cosmet... En esta respuesta da a entender que sería también la diferencia entre "cuestiones" externas e internas del ordenador. Efectivamente antes contesté rápidamente con la palabra problemas por haber leído tu post pero realmente "issues" se traduciría mejor como "cuestiones" puesto que pueden no siempre ser problemas como tal.
