- Rinzler89 2y agoHow did you prove to them their USB cable fried your computer? Did they ask for the devices for investigation?
- RecycledEle 2y agoI recorded a cell phone vide where I used a USB cable tester to show their cable was wired 1-8, 2-7, 3-6, 4-5, 5-4, 6-3, 7-2, 8-1 instead of straight-through. I also showed another cable testing correctly. I showed that when the SmartQ q7 tablet computer was plugged into my PC's USB port using the cable my PC threw a warning about excess power drain, but when another cable was used, it did not throw an error. I proved that by recording a cell phone video. I might have also used a USB power meter but I do not remember. Here is more on the ancient tablet: https://www.engadget.com/2009-05-27-smart-q7-reviewed-deemed-fairly-useful-for-fairly-basic-tasks.html https://www.engadget.com/2009-05-27-smart-q7-reviewed-deemed...
- moneywoes 2y agoWhere did you purchase it?
- RecycledEle 2y agoFry's Electronics (this was long before they shut down)
- mrguyorama 2y agoAlternatively that means they sell cheap chinese crap at such a markup that they can easily afford to just replace the ones that break. Basically customer QA
- skelpmargyar 2y agoJust wondering, do you know of a better alternative? I've pretty much only bought Anker recently because they haven't failed me yet. Trying to determine what is quality online now is very difficult.
