Mega weird UK O2 XDA !!!!!

[Ali-Butt]

hi guys,

bit of a weird problem this, i bought this usb sync and charge cable from ebay
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3034773011&category=3728

i plugged it in, activsync all connected fine.
its was only after a while that i noticed a weird noise coming from the xda.
basically as soon as you plug in the cable, the xda makes a whinning noise ... like a radio tuning.. like weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

i dont want to damage my xda ..... have any of you people come across this ?

what could it be ?

please let me know

yours
Ali

Is it a prolonged sound - or just a short ear-splitting ping ? The latter is normal and happens on soft reset ? Sorry if that's obvious .. :-)

Yes. Imagine having to test mkrom, welcome.exe, adaptROM and all these tools, over and over again. I'm willing to build a suitably equipped and insulated room in my house for the guy that put in that sound.

Ali-Butt , I ordered the same cable from Brando, and as you, I had this noise, and after a few minutes my XDA was very hot !!

Of course I stop using it, and mail Brando about that ; they email back saying that this cable seems to be corrupted, and send me a new one FREE ; 4 days after, I received a new one, and no noise, no heat , everything's OK ! :D

oh my Gosh !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thank you so much for your info !

the thing is, i bought the cable from ebay ....

shall i contact brando or ebay ?

what email address did you send your request to ?

thanks again

If you did'nt buy it from Brando, you could'nt ask him for a new one...you have to contact the e-bay seller's who sold this item to you , if he is serious he do replace your cable ;;;if he don't , mail e-bay for complain and write a bad feed-back on this e-bay seller ... but I hope you don't have to do so !!!

That's why, I bought a lot from Brando, a very serious on-line shop , in Hong-Kong, I'm from France, and I received my stuff in 4 or 5 days !
I bought there the famous "Brando screen protector", as far the best screen protectors I had (and I tested a lot !)

glad you got it sorted - I thought the soft reset was a long shot... :roll:

and I pity you guys having to put up with that ping throughout, it's enough with my limited use - people think I've got a hearing aid now... (might need one soon!)
