It certainly could have been my problem, but like I said, it did work the first few times after I figured out the USB drivers. I had also read that the cheaper cable had soldering issues with a couple of pins, which might also have been the problem.
Either way, I learned my lesson buying the cheap chinese version of something. Their ebay shop even closed up and renamed themselves by the time the cable had failed. Couldn't even leave them feedback or try to get a refund. This was actually one of the many reasons that led me to try to go through my life without buying anything made in china. But you didn't come here to hear me get on a soap box.
