usb cable does not charge

[mr_biggie]

i just bought a retractable sync and charge cable and i was dissapointed to find out that even though i get the charging staus and light when i connect it to my pc the battery doesnt charge it actually gets drained. im using logout wm5.
what do you think is the problem is there others who share my dilema?

have you tried another computer? it can be affected by the PCs USB power ability

Look if you have a red (+) shortcut at last (22) pin in connector at your cable. If so, cut it.
