I cannot charge my tablet with the charger with which it came. I also tried using a USB cord to charge it by plugging it in. That didn't work either.

The manufacturer's power supply states "Switching Adapter" and has a micro barrel plug.

The AC adapter has a barrel plug output. Insert the plug into the smaller round hole (not the larger one for earphone) to recharge the tablet. Make sure you push the plug all the way in until you hear a 'click'.

The USB won't charge it; I think it says that in the manual. Or I read it on a customer review. You may have a faulty charger. You can probably pick up a charger at Radio Shack. If it's the unit itself, I guess you'll have to call the 800 number or go to the website and contact Customer Service. They'll tell you what to do. I hate that for you. Good luck.

I had an extremely similar issue a few months back--unfortunately I had to mail my tablet in for repair. it's been wonderful since. As long as you still have the original box you can call them and they'll take care of it free of charge. I don't think it's the charger though.

You have to buy a charger that has the unique connector that plugs into the tablet. Try Amazon or ebay. Just remenber it is not a standard usb connector.

Mine did the same thing but I dont remember how exactly I figured it out but I just opened the back and I found out the charging piece wasnt attached no more that could be whats wrong with yours .. but I kinda just improvised and put a folded up little peice of paper on the top of just that area and closed the tablet I dont really know how to fix it

Mine didn't. All I know is that I have tried all of my USB charging cords & they will not charge the docking station. In order to charge it I have to charge the tablet then re-dock. I am very unhappy with the dock/keyboard. Good luck!!

Thank you for your purchase. Does the Tab 7" uses a different cable? Did you try both ports? The difference in cable may be preventing the charger from transferring power to the Tab. Please try to update your Tab 7" to latest firmware see if that'd help.

The tablet came with a wall charger. However, there are also chargers here on Amazon. You could also contact the manufacturer and purchase one that way.

There is a special charger that should have been included. It is the only type of charger that can be used with this sony tablet. A new charger can be purchased through the sony website.

The one I got came with a charger. It's a mini USB. You plug the charger into u r standard outlet. Then take the male end of the charger. And plug it into the tablet. Then wait until fully charged....

I'm not sure I can help you, my charger is working fine. I might make suggestion to be sure the micro usb is pushed all the way in, other than that I can't really help you. I love mine and am thinking of buying another.

I am having the same issue also. I had the charger plugged in and it got bumped and broken the solder connection inside the tablet. There may be a chance an individual who works on cell phones and tablets may be able to resolder.

Sure, why not? Just plug the USB part in to the charger, then the other end into your tablet. This charger also does not get as hot as the original charger did (at least for me). Good deal!

I wish I knew. My only thought is that maybe it won't charge because something is wrong with the tablet ... Or if it doesn't fit maybe its the wrong model. Wish I could help but don't really have an answer ... Is it possible the new cable is defective?

Hi Carlos!I really have to dissapoint you but it fails me since the first time. I let it charging like 12hrs and it didn't take charged. When i tried to use it did not turn on. Letting plugged the powerd cord it start; when unplug turns off. I tell Amazon's customer service my problem and they told to return it and full refund.That tablet is a crap!!!

Thats what i have. The charger is a manufacturer charger and says samsung on it. That is the only charger that can be used with that tablet. If the charger you received does not say samsung on it, i would contact the seller
