I bought a trio 7-85 8g off Someone and the device is clearly in good shape,but the charger didn't come with it and the thing will not come on??i used a charger that fit but it didnt work.please help

Go to amazon.com and search "Trio Stealth G2 charger"

or, if you can't wait

check the OUTPUT voltage and amperage on the old charger (for example, it could say: "5.0 VDC --- 1000 mA" (that means 5 volts, 1000 milliAmp), and find a standard charger with same voltage, and same or higher amperage.

Perhaps the HARD RESET PROCESS can help you, Merrill. I've posted my suggestion as to how it's done HERE. ( http://www.fixya.com/support/t25341481-trio_stealth_new_when_power_goes ) , so you may findt that information useful.
I've had good success with HARD RESETTING when trying to correct errors like forgotten password, or forgotten lock-patterns. However, I've had a Trio Stealth G2 that displayed the SAME problem as yours, Merrill, and it would NOT respond to ANY attempts at resetting. I tried every combination I could : pressing volume down (-) and power; volume UP (+) and power; volume UP & DOWN (+ AND -) and power. It refused to boot. But since the case and the screens were in great shape, I went on Ebay and bought a Trio with a cracked screen, swapped the motherboard from THAT tablet and it worked perfectly.
Final caution, though: ask the Ebay seller to guareantee the physical condition of the ports and other controls on the unit before you buy it. Remember you need a working motherboard.
Best of luck to you, Merrill!

Either the charger or the battery is faulty, from the sound of your fault description. If the tablet will turn on and run normally when the charger is plugged in, then the problem most likely lies with the battery. If it will not run even when the charger is on, then the charger is most likely the cause of the fault. If your tablet is still under warranty, either problem should be repaired free

I was able to use my cell phone charger when my Trio Stealth Tablet charger stopped working. I would suggest first trying to use a basic cell phone charger before going out and spending lots of money on a charger "specifically" for a tablet.

If it isn't charged it will not turn on.
Make sure the charger is working. Use an AC/USB charger.
Other than that it's broken.
Use the extended warranty you purchased when you bought the tablet.

It's possible your charger is faulty. If your unit can charge with a USB cord through a computer try that. If it charges then your charger is faulty. The charger can be tested with a voltmeter by someone knowledgeable. The other problem possible is that the charging receptacle is faulty. That would show up if the USB method doesn't work. If the charger is o.k. then your battery won't hold a charge and needs to be replaced.

try your charger with some other device
if its working then there is a problem with your charging ic
or processor
go to othorize service centre

Hi Jennifer,

Battery error or charger error.try with new charger or usb cable.
if you have warranty you have no problem and go for warranty.
