There are a number of different USB standards. Not all USB cables support all the signal lines used for all the standards. It would be worthwhile to figure out what levels of USB your devices expect and the highest level of USB the cable claims to support.
USB Cable being held hostage…Suggestions?
I bought a high end boutique USB cable used (MSRP $800 paid $400) and it wouldn’t play music on my streamer but played on a laptop. Working with the seller and maker we agreed to send it to the maker October 2024 to test, repair or return. In November maker told me it tested fine but insisted he wanted to replace it free of charge. Monthly communication has been very spotty with several no responses. I have been very patient and respectful sending no demands or threats etc. just asking for shipping confirmation. I have asked several times just to return my original cable that the seller has agreed to give me a refund. The maker has responded 3 times since January 2025 that he will ship me the replacement cable next week? Still no cables and very slow if any responses. Turns out the business is not accredited by the BBB. No lawyer friends to send letter for me etc.. Anyone gone through this dance? Any suggestions on how to pressure the maker to return my original cable?
