The metal strips (tangs) that plug into the wall socket have no strain relief on the interior of the white housing. After a couple of insertion/removal cycles into the AC outlets, one of the tangs pulled out of the housing rendering the device unusable. Upon inspection of the interior, it was observed that the rear of the tang was cold soldered to the wire that connected to the PCB. While I may be able to grind the surface of the tang to obtain a suitable surface on which I may re-solder the wire, I may just chose to wire a replacement AC cord directly to the PCB, preventing a repeat failure.
Good news is that the PCB is still functional even if the housing is not.
Caveat EmptorThis product was great! Not only was it inexpensive but it actually works! I've had it for about six months now I think, and it s still working. A steal compared to the price of other products just like this one. Very satisfied with this buy.This doesn't stay plugged in very well. It didn't seem to be charging when I connected it to the wall and to my ipod. It was cheap, so what can I expect?our son's mp3 player needed to charge on our computer, but out computer wasn't always on. this is much easier!this product works great and was a good price. i love not having to boot up my laptop to charge our mp3 players.
