While we all get the usual replies not to buy such things, we do.
As an experiment, share what you did to get yours working.

DO NOT ASK FOR HELP IN THIS THREAD (I'll remove those.)

After a few dozen this has got to rank up there with a common cure.

Find another USB to your device cable. You may get lucky!

Cheap price are also cheap in quality.. Don't only look at the price but also with the quality.. If you are buying a 2nd hand be sure that it has a warranty about 2- 2 months.
