I bought 2 of these when they were £29.99 and they both don't charge (bought 3 different charges) is it just me or are these rubbish?! I know you get what you pay for but I haven't even had them for a couple of weeks yet. Anyone else find them rubbish? Didn't keep the reciept either so can't even return them!

Phone or do a live chat with Amazon - they'll replace them.

Did you get a charger in the box?
I bought the same ones (well the £39.99 one with a bit more memory). It charges but doesn't hold charge that well when on standby. I just keep telling myself not to expect iPad performance. But yours sounds faulty I would contact Amazon direct even if you didn't buy from them.

Yeh they came with chargers but I bought me ones assuming it was the charger that was the issue but that doesn't seem to be the case as with one it worked at first now doesn't with at all no matter what charger is used it doesn't charge. The other charges but only if the wire is held in a certain position meaning dc can't sit and play on it whilst it charges (it has to be charged first) had them just under 3 weeks.

Mine doesn't charge well either.

We bought two earlier in the year. One of them has a dodgy charging hole where you have to prop the cable up at a certain cable so that it stays connected Hmm Thought my son had bashed it or something.

Agree you're better switching them off at night to save battery.

This one charges, lasts about 8 hours so a bit shit but less shit than phones.

Definitely live chat or ring amazon
