LED Does not Remain Lit

Whats a "smart" charger? I only use the chargers I ordered as accessory from the website. I ordered the cable, and the wall charger. Both produce the same result. I have tried plugging the USB cable into regular wall chargers, iPad charger, and Ps4. Same results are produced. I have plugged the wall charger provided in many different outlets, again the same results. 

Appreciate the response. 

Thanks

tllim hasn't realised you said you used the official cable and power supply available for the pine64, so will hopefully have something more to add to that soon.

If you are powering up the pine64 from that power supply, with a valid image on the sd card, and there is nothing else plugged into the pine64, and it still does those 15 second reboots, I suspect it is faulty. Does it still do the reboot loop when there is nothing plugged into it at all except for power (if you can tell... maybe the power led goes out for a moment when it reboots?). And do you see anything on the screen before it does reboot when the HDMI is connected?

Smart charger is in reference to a USB power supply/power bank that automatically switches off when there is no load on it, which should not be the case here.
