I have been using the istick basic for a week and it just recently stopped charging. When I plug in the micro-USB, it blinks a couple of times but it doesn't flash red like it says it should in the manual. It only does so when I press the fire button and even then, the red light switches off in 2 or 3 minutes. I have tried different cables and sockets but nothing changes. Is there anything I could do to fix it?

Good news, guys, I fixed it! I cleaned the magnet with a q-tip and the device is charging normally now. Now I feel bad for leaving the seller 1 star on Amazon...
Welcome and glad you joined.
Glad to hear you fixed it. This istick specifically states:" *Only use Wall Chargers/adapters that have an input of 100-240 V 50HZ-60HZ and an Output of 5V/500 mah. Warning: Do not attempt to modify equipment. Please refer to your manual for further safety instructions."
I would not use any I phone/cell charger with this brand/model. Lots of folks like to push the design envelope when it comes to recommend a charger.
