And so being a little lazy to carry from my bedroom, to my PC work room and to my work office, I decided to purchase a spare Micro USB data cable place a USB data cable in each place.<\/p>\n<p>Such USB data cable can be very cheap however there is a caveat when purchasing, unfortunately. I have purchase a standard USB data cable before and it turn out to be such poor quality it would not connect my USB flash drive though it could still be used for power charging.<\/p>\n<p>This time round, I bought a simple Micro USB data cable for RM9 (US$3) and it turn out to be a total dud. So much for Made-in-China products, they may be cheap but they don&#8217;t have quality control. Unless they are branded where at least a certain amount of supervision and QC checks to ensure brand reputation, most of the brand-X types do not care about their reputation.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.janleow.com\/imgs\/wp\/micro-usb-data-cable.jpg\" alt=\"Micro USB data cable\" title=\"Micro USB data cable\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This little micro USB data cable when plug into my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.janleow.com\/life\/sony-ericsson-xperia-x10-mini-pro.html\">Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 mini pro<\/a> could not even charge my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.janleow.com\/life\/tag\/android-phone\">Android mobile phone<\/a> let alone have any decent data connection. In addition it caused my mobile phone to reset! So looks like I will have to bring back to the computer shop for an exchange but I doubt the replacement USB cable would be of any quality. Perhaps I could exchange it with sometime else.
