Whenever something went wrong with our electrical appliances, my Mom never fail to annoyingly suggest that there is something wrong with the cabling, or to be exact suggest that there is a loose cable somewhere out there. My Mom is not a tech savy, and nowhere near MacGyver to mind you. She is one that does not even want to be close to a computer thinking that she will break it somehow, so naturally we usually ignore her comments and trying to fix the problems from a different angle. Surprise-surprise, most of the time fixing the cable is what we end up with doing.
This time around the same thing happen to me. I have problem with charging my handphone using a USB charger. Logically I don't think it has anything to do with the cable as the USB cable is working fine as a data cable. I mean, come on, it is just a $@#$-ing cable. What could be wrong with it. So I started buying not one, not two, not three but FOUR different USB chargers thinking that the previous one must be either faulty or has lower power output rating than what is written on the packaging.
To rub it in, today, a total Ah-Beng in the shop told me bluntly that it must be the cable problem. "You must have used a wrong/faulty cable", he said. Walaw leh, I am like "isn't that my Mom talking?". So I politely told him, "OK lor, just try and if it works I buy it!" Duh, it work like a charm ..
Oh well, I guess Mom knows best :)!
