After unpacking, I start charging. Once loaded, the manual is reported to me that is enough to firmly grasp and shake so that the load of the connected device starts. Whether on a recent smartphone or a small sound recorder, charging starts and stops within seconds ... nothing to do, cable change ... the problem is in my opinion the electronics detect the level connected device, and managing its load.
Result, return Amazon (fortunately the problem was detected early.) Very useful and still effective!
I blame the brand, do not test quality at the factory on their products. Result Chinese low-end product, it can sell in quantity regardless of its operation, will work, not work, it is the lottery, you can fall on the good or bad.
Go your way (at least for this model)! and it begs the question, what the competition is really more virtuous for this price ??
