I have three of these I've collected over the last 3 years, and none of them work anymore.

Is this the new USB-C future we were promised? With a single-point of failure for everything as the number of ports on laptop decreases year-on-year?

Frustrating! I never recommend Amazon - they dodge tax, underpay workers, throw away tons of goods, and their fulfillment centres mix up real and counterfeit goods. No one wins except their execs.

But since it's already done, have you tried raising it to Amazon?

I know I know, but since Maplins has closed down and when I need electronics, I need them now rather than a few days later, Amazon pretty much wins on that front
