I plugged it into my dead phone and then plugged it into multiple usb ports and literally nothing is happening. Am I missing something?

As far as I know, this can't be used to charge a phone when it's off. For whatever reason, the phone will only charge when its on and in either media transfer or mass storage mode. At least that's how it is with my w518a. If your phone has enough of a charge to be turned on, do it and set it up quickly, and you should get it charging. Otherwise, you'll probably need to use the regular wall charger.

On my W760a Sony phone, this cable would connect me to the computer for data transfer. Also I used it to charge from my cigarette lighter in the car. It is possible that the your phone is not showing that charging is going on because it is too low on charge. Let it go for about an hour, then try to turn your phone on and check the battery charge status if the phone starts. Since we don't know why you are buying this cable we can only assume that your phone has been working properly.

Try a different charger. My phone charger works on mine. Otherwise, you have to replace it.

I had the same problem. I returned it to Mophie and they sent me another one. The new one would not connect either. I have it to someone in my office, and they had the same problem.

maybe, your software/firmware might need refresh and or update, if still not working after that then yup it's probably dead...(might try new fresh batteries too....)

It's probably not dead. Reset unit and it will come to life. Mine did this frequently. Give it a try.

You need to charge your dead phone via a cord. So making a call as it is charging is possible but you will have to hold both.

Did you hold down the power button? You should see 5 blue lights and you should hear the same beep you hear when plugging the phone to the charger and the charging light some on

You just stick the USB in and get "reading". Sounds like either the files are corrupted or something with device is wrong.

Probably a bad connection at the charge port. Send it back to the manufacturer. They will fix it for you.

Try using a different connector. My cell phone wasn't charging, so I tried a different wire and it worked! But you may have a dead battery that won't take a charge, which may require buying a new battery or a new GPS.

Mine is still working great so I only have a couple suggestions. Try to reset unit by leaving it turned ON until it completely dies. Then recharge unit and try it again. If still won't work, try a different Bluetooth device. Make sure Sharkk light flashes blue.

You are supposed to plug the unit into the wall outlet and then plug the phone into the unit. The one I was sent didn't work properly. It would ring and flash exactly one time and then the phone went dead. I tried it with different phones and in different houses with the same result. Sent it back for a refund. I don't recommend getting this product.

Plug in the phone charger, with the battery removed in the phone, then try powering it on. If it doesn't work , place the battery into the phone, then try powering the phone

I personally returned mine after it froze ten minutes into playing around with the functions, and bought another player with the refund.If you haven't already, you should hold the reset button for ~10 seconds (as opposed to just pressing it) and see if that does anything, like commutergirl suggested.Also, maybe double-check to see that it was plugged in properly for charging? Sometimes USB ports can be weird.In any case, good luck! I hope it's just a temporary thing and that it works soon for you!

That happened to me once. I think perhaps the battery wasn't fully pushed into the charger. I can't speak with certainty to your case, but could that be a possibility? I would try charging it again on the charger and see if it works. if not, contact the seller. I love my charger, and only had a problem the one time. The USB port on my phone has since ceased to work, so I am really glad that I got the charge - it is now a necessity! It has worked perfectly except one time, and I think that the battery wasn't fully pushed into the charger then.

It is just a charger! I have tried transfering data. The device is not detected at all.

Same thing happened to me. I put the battery in, it showed the red light blinking. I tried to turn it on and the phone lit up but wouldn't turn on. I let it sit charging for 30 mins and the red light was solid but when I came back to the phone the light was out and now the phone does nothing. Don't know where I go from here...
