Not charging The tablet is not charging from the computer

Push the power and volume up button down at the same time for 10-20 seconds.

Try that twice.

If that does not work, try charging the device via the computer. You might have a bad charger and the tablet simply is not getting charged. Leave the device charging by the computer for at least an hour. That won't give it a full charge but it might let you know that the battery simply was not previously charged enough for the tablet to activate. If that doesn't work, try the Cambio support page.

Some tablets have a charging port and a usb port. If your tablet is so equipped it should charge while connected to another computer by usb or to a usb charger.

If your tablet is only equipped with a usb port and that is broken, it will need a repair before the battery can be charged.

There are only so many milliamperes available to the whole USB bus on any computer. Having too many devices connected will cause not enough power to charge your tablet.
Try a wall adapter.

Depend what model "this tablet" is. Generally tablet chargers have a USB connector at the wall plug end , plugged into the wall charger and a mini usb or proprietary connector at the tablet end. The USB connector can also be plugged into a USB port on a computer or other device. Charging rate will depend on how much current the device can deliver to the USB port, they are not all the same.

Hi Carol,

You need a charging cable with a USB port at the end of it. You can then plug that charger into any USB port on the computer so charge your tablet.

Let me know if this helps,

Thanks,

Try to charge your tablet pc with your laptop or desktop pc.
if it will show the charging then your charger may be out of order.
if it will not charge with your laptop or desktop then your tablet's charging circuit not working.

Samsung galaxy is a powerful device which require at least a 2A charger to charge it well. computer can only deliver 0.5A and thus is not enough power to charge your tablet. Connect it to the wall AC charger that come with the tablet and you'll be able to charge it just fine

USB Connections
All tablets connect to your computer using a USB cable.
Once connected, the device should charge as long as the computer recognizes it.
Look for manufacturer-specific software to launch once you plug your tablet into your computer; if this software fails to launch, it's likely that your computer hasn't detected the device and won't charge it.
Try a second USB cable, if available, or plug the USB cable into a different port.
If the device doesn't charge in either port, replace the USB cable.

AC Adapters
Some tablets are sold with an accompanying AC power adapter, though these accessories are often optional.
Try plugging your tablet into its AC power connector in the event that its USB cable isn't functioning.
Also check different wall outlets in case the outlet you are plugging your tablet into is defective.
If the device fails to charge in different outlets, the AC adapter may be faulty.


Reboot Like any device with an operating system a computer, a mobile phone or an MP3 player tablet computers can freeze from time to time.
When a computer freezes, you can reboot or restart it to get the operating system working properly again.
This is true of tablets too, but rebooting these systems can be a little tricky.
Check the manufacturer's website for specific instructions to restart your system.
Putting the tablet to sleep and waking it up doesn't clear its memory look instead for the buttons for a "reset," which are different for every brand.
This may clear up any recent malfunctions, like freezing apps or charging issues.

Restore

Just like a computer, tablets sometimes need to be restored to their original state to overcome technical issues like charging problems.
Again, the process of restoring your tablet to its factory default differs from model to model and from brand to brand.
Check the manual or the manufacturer's website for specific instructions, but as a general rule: plug the tablet into your computer using the provided USB cable.
Wait for the appropriate software to load and then look for a "Restore" option.
Follow the onscreen prompts to restore the device.

know of similar problems. either the cable and connection end you have or the receiving end in the tablet. can be diagnosed by getting replacement charging cable. if the problem goes away then its the cable if not it is probably the receiving end in the tablet
