I ordered this from you in Jan. 2013 and it worked really well. I noticed that the wall plug in part would get a little hot. However after about a year I guess, it stopped getting hot and it stopped charging fast. Now it is the same speed as any other charger I have. What happened to it? Also my Kindle fire is a year and a half old...Will this one work with that model? I ordered this from you in Jan. 2013 and it worked really well.

Don't think I'm a good one to ask as it has NEVER charged faster for me than a regular charger. I gave a review saying this and it was denied publication.

I had my kindle for 3 years and the battery died so I ordered a new one thru Amazon and at the same time ordered a fast charger. The battery lasted 95 days, just over the 90 day warranty and the fast charger never worked properly either but the cost on me to return it wasn't feasible so I just gave up and am not happy with Amazon. .

I just bought one (Fev.2014) and even though had problems with the cable, once I replaced it for original Kindle wire it worked normally and this includes to get a little warm while charging. It charges my Kindle really fast. It has a 2000mA, so it is suppose to charge yours fast enough. If it is not... it has to be damaged. Regards, aguilajal1950

I'm not an expert on these things, but when I have issues like this, I do a few quick things. One, I change outlets. Sometimes a plug won't be making great contact anymore. (It also means you should change your outlet plug ASAP.) Two, I use a tester to be sure the charging plug still works. These can break down too, though it's rarer. Three, make sure the device is dead. Sometimes a battery needs to completely discharge to recharge. I don't know why but that's solved some issues. Fourth, do an internet search for your item and issue and see who else had this problem. There's almost always others. Good luck

It does sometimes. It doesn't get hot consistently. And just like Jessica L, ours doesn't always charge. It has to be pushed in & at a certain angle for it to charge. But that could be more of an issue with the connection inside the tablet and not the tablet itself. But considering that our original charger had broken so we had nothing...and for the price that this was...I'm not complaining. The stripping on our original charger split, & I called Office Max to see they had any ideas where I could get a charger. The employee told me that issues/failures of the charger was a consistent problem with this product. Hope that helps!! It does sometimes. It doesn't get hot consistently.

I only used mine a few times. It would get so hot that I was afraid it would catch fire. I would stick with the chargers that are specifically made Apple/Mac products. They are too expensive of computers to risk.

My streamer was always charged with the charger; never even tried USB, but the streamer would not charge at all after less than 2 years of use. I was told that 2 years was the expected life expectancy. Depending on age of streamer, yours may be reaching the end of its life. I did return mine to Oticon once to have it checked because it did not hold a charge for more than 3-4 hours and was told that was normal. The new streamers (2013) are supposed to hold a charge for a longer period of time. If you haven't contacted Oticon, send them an email.. They do respond. Just go to their website and look for contact info. If you are still under warranty they should replace charger. I am sure you have tried this, but be sure parts of charger are fitting tightly and if you are using the same outlet each time, check to make sure that the outlet is working the way it is supposed to.

I had inconsistent charges with the charger that came with my kindle as well as with another I ordered. I ordered this one and not only is it fast, it works great and I have had it several months.. It also charges my cell phone quickly and the long cord is a big plus! Hope it works well for you too.

I believe so. When I lost the wall piece of my previous charger, I tried just about everything - a kindle charger, the highest Belling charger, and even a phone charger. I went to radio shack and was told they don't sell anything powerful enough on the regular market so I should look on Amazon, eBay, or contact HP to get a replacement. I bought this charger, and it is the only thing that chargers my tablet. A week ago I connected it to a laptop. It didn't charge the tablet, but it didn't lose the charge it had. 3 days later at work, I connected it to an older desktop computer and a message came up instructing me about how the device should be connected to the the original charger hence, the tablet did not charge. 5 secs later I connected the table to this charger and it began charging. This is the correct charger for an HP Touchpad. You cannot find it anywhere else. To be honest, HP may not make the original charger since these tablets are no longer in production. If you have an HP touchpad, this is the charger for you. Hope this helps

Mine still works great. It did seem like it was not working as well, but just by chance, I used a different USB cable, and it still works as good now as it did when I got it a few months ago.

What ive noticed and we have three in the house is these chargers arent very good.u have to be extremely gentle with them but with one in particular it does this.and if u unplug it, and then plug ut back in the tablet would charge.hope this helps.

I am not a good person to ask.When I ordered the kindle CHARGER and paid for it. Shortly there after I was told that the batch of kindle chargers were defective and my money would be refunded. I told them I needed a CHARGER and to advise me. I never heard from them. After that I ordered what was described as a kindle CHARGER. When it arrived it was a generic CHARGER similar to my phone CHARGER. I do not recommend them as they are a low voltage CHARGER that only charges when the kindle is off. The bottom line is if you can find a real kindle CHARGER you should be fine. If you do let me know where so I can get one. Good luck.

That is my question as well. The charger keeps stalling, and I have to plug it in over and over again, but it only works for a few minutes (or less). Sorry to add this as an "answer" since it doesn't help.

Mine was working great after few hours charging. After a year and half, it did not charge like yours. I used to buy used one and used every week, so I gues it died. I used for long and good. But if it is new, then you need refund it

I have the exact same problem no matter what charger I purchase. I've spent anywhere from $5 to $30 for a charger. The longest my charger has ever worked has been about a month. It just won't hold in a charger. As much as I love my kindle fire, I think I may just have to go with either a small laptop or an iPad. Good luck!

Yes. Mine worked for 13 months, then quit charging devices plugged into it. I made very light use of it throughout those 13 months, taking it through perhaps 3 charge/discharge cycles in total. The device itself shows a green LED as though it is charged, but nothing plugged into it receives power, not even a simple LED booklight. At this point, it is useless.

I found out it wasn't the unit - the cord/charger was bad. A lot cheaper to replace than the main unit. If you know someone else with the same model, try borrowing their charger cord and testing it with your unit. Odds are that's the problem. Good luck.

I had some problems with the charging cord not fitting well, so wasn't always charging. I changed to the mini USB cable I use for my Kindle, and that works fine.
