Wiz charging cable (Samsung E810)

[pea]

Hi all,

I purchased a charging cable advertised as working for the Samsung E810. Should this cable work to charge the Wiz out-of-the-box (i.e. without modification)?
Just wanted to check before I go to the effort of taking the cable to pieces and attempting a re-wire! Could also be that the cable is just faulty.

I don't get any activity whatsoever when attempting a charge. What should I see? Should it be possible to switch the Wiz on while it is charging even if the battery is dead (because that's the other option here - it's been in a box for a few years now!).

Cheers,
Pea

There should be a blue led lit as soon as power is plugged in. You should be able to boot the device even without the battery inserted.

For comparison, here is the pinout of the USB/charching cable that came with the Wiz:
