Come to find out, the tip was making contact with the PC steel case and shorting out, rendering the cable useless.. Another 10USD down the drain.

I told the kids to be careful to completely unplug the usb end of the cable, so as to not have problem..

Now this (c attached)




I think apple should re-engineer their cable..

Warn your kids and G-kids...
Thanks for the heads up JJ_BPK.
