I've actually got 10 or 12 of those sitting in a box. I got them because of
the "grounded" power header. The units I got used the 3-pin header but only
had a 2-wire plug. So, something seemed wrong and I opened it up. I noticed
the same thing: that the non-soldered ground pin went nowhere. But, I demanded
my money back due to the power cord not being as pictured, and went back to my
previous supplier of a different power unit. Since it was from China, it
wasn't economic to ship them back. It may be that ebay actually paid for the
refund, I don't remember. The build quality was pretty poor, and that figures
since it had a screw-together clamshell.

A dozen USB chargers in the lab: Apple is very good, but not quite the

When you buy a USB charger, how do you know if you're getting a safe,
high-quality charger for your money? You can't tell from the outside...
is about the little Line to 5V USB adapters one sees everywhere now days,
it does show how crappy the output looks when one gets a 'bargin'
