Not to blame this on these cables, but I recently ordered one and started using it on my iPad Mini. On the second day of using it, I plugged the iPad in to let it charge over night, then came home the next day to a completely, totally dead iPad Mini that refused to charge, sync, reset or restore, or even turn on for that matter. I ended up having to send it back to Apple for a replacement. They requested the cable I used to charge it in order to test, so they obviously felt it may have been relating to charging. The iPad had worked perfectly until this point, and literally worked fine the day before, so while I can't conclusively say it was the cable, thats basically the only odd out factor. Just a word of warning to everyone that also owns these non-OEM cables to be aware of the possibility that this may have been caused by a faulty cable and to practice vigilance on the matter.
