1.0 out of 5 stars Worked fine, for 2 weeks..., January 14, 2010

This unit arrived and the first thing I noticed is how bad it looks. It does not match the white or silver colors of recent MacBooks and MacBook Pros.

However, the unit did work flawlessly and that's all I really cared about.

Then, about a week later, something weird happened: The display went blank (black) for a couple of seconds, and then it came back up. I figured that maybe the VGA cable was loose, so I tightened the cable just in case, and forgot about it.

But then, about 3 days ago, the same thing happened, and this time the unit failed to work again for good. I happen to have multiple Macs and monitors at home and tested everything with them, and indeed came to the conclusion that the unit went bust.

So, beware, unless I happened to have lemon, this unit is product appears to be pure junk...

This product worked great for about 6 weeks. Then, all of the sudden, it just stopped working! In less than 2 months!

I contacted the seller, and they refused to refund, replace, or repair since it had been more than 30 days. They suggested I contact the manufacturer.

I contacted the manufacturer and explained the situation, and... they ignored me. Completely. Not a single reply.

I contacted Amazon, since this is completely ridiculous, and they also refused to help.

Look at these reviews and you'll see a trend -- a horrible product that works for a month or so and then breaks. Nobody will replace it or repair it, and you'll be out of the money. I know it's not very expensive, but that's not the point. I order a LOT of things from Amazon, and for them to offer a product that has gotten such poor reviews and to be totally unconcerned about it is totally unacceptable. I certainly don't plan to stop using Amazon, of course, but I did cancel three months' worth of subscription orders. It may cost me a bit more to buy them locally for the next three months, but being able to reduce Amazon's revenues by $180 is priceless. I'll of course continue to shop on Amazon, but they've missed out on that $180 forever because they sold a crappy $10 part that nobody would stand behind. Hope they enjoy whatever tiny margin they got off that $10 sale!

5.0 out of 5 stars good value, January 4, 2010

Works just as well as the Apple version, at half the price. It's grey, not white, and feels cheaply made, but it works perfectly, and that's what counts.
