wont charge after a few months of use... an idea why?

I'm having the same trouble with mine......it just flashes a red battery warning symbol and won't take a charge no matter how long it's on the charger.

Unplug the charger from the power outlet. Reverse it and try to plug it in the other way if possible. Polarity shouldn't matter, but these switching type power supplies are cheap and sometimes gets static hung up inside them.

Most likely a power cord issue. Usually a dying battery would have signs of low storage, instead of suddenly not working, though the port itself may be warped. Try leaving it on the chage an hour then try turning it back on.

I gave this tablet to my god-daughter, and the same thing happened to her. I bought a new wall power adaptor, but that didn't solve the problem either. Sorry, can't help. Next purchase will be a different, higher quality brand.

Sorry I can not help you. I recently bought it and had to return it because mine wouldn't charge at all.

To be perfectly honest, I am not sure. I've got mine not too long ago and it never said anything about a warranty, but my charger still works fine. I'm sorry if I'm not much help I hope you can figure out the solution soon :(

Sounds like you might have a dud...if your outlet is on. Bad power supply or something in the charging process...

I just had an issue with mine not charging. It got to zero and when I rebooted with it plug into the USB charger, I could see the little lighting bolt on the battery indicating it was trying to charge, but it shut off because of low batter. Kind of a Catch-22. I tried this cycle a few times and was fed up, so I decided to unplug it and let it 'die down' for half a day. Then I plugged it back in and the screen showed me that it was charging! I let it charge up for a few hours and it started up and continued to charge. If you are having charging issues, try letting it run out and "die", then plug it in. Worked for me, YMMV. I just had an issue with mine not charging.

I've had mine for about 4 months, too, but haven't noticed any charging issues ... yet. They have a year guarantee so you might want to check with the manufacturer if you're experiencing problems.

It sounds like something may be defective or the battery is dying out, as it should only take a couple hours to charge. I cannot recall it taking more than hours. You may want to use a power block instead of a computer to charge it to make sure the problem isn't with say a weak laptop battery.

I don't know, I have had mine for a least 6 months and charge it every week. Maybe you need to contact company where you ordered it.

I have had mine for over a year and have not had that problem; however, I have seen this issue before, and it is usually a driver problem or battery issue. Try this: http://www.pcworld.com/article/225265/battery_not_charging.html

i was having this issue as well...but i read that there is a RED light that turns on when the battery is charging...so i played with the USB that is plugged into the unit, and found that the red light turns on when its plugged about HALFWAY in. i checked, and it IS in fact charging. try adjusting the B side of the USB (mini part thats in the actual unit) before you return it.

Sounds like the battery pack is no good! Did you try contacting the seller? Or try using another cable to charge it and see if that works.

Same problem here, my battery seems however not to charge at all. Did you find a solution/problem?thanks!

I've read that these sometimes have a break-in period and that the charging indication corrects itself after a few days of use. I'd try charging it up and using it and recharging it a few times to see if that helps. Only "problem" is that the charge lasts a long long time! Good luck.

Try a different cable, or a different charger, maybe discharge it completely and recharge.

Fortunately I have not had this problem. I would suggest attaching it to the charger one more time to see if you can get it to charge. Otherwise I would return it for an exchange. I bought an extra battery and have had no problems with the charging of either one.

Mine also has stopped charging completely. I purchased in October of last year and now it won't charge at all. There is no way I can see to contact the seller through amazon. If someone can find me an email or a phone number. Otherwise I cannot find it. ARG!

The same thing happened to me and I bought a replacement charger. That worked for a while but now will no longer charge the tablet. I say return the tablet, that's what I need to do.
