Could be variable reasons -> If you're using generic brand chargers or charger adapter (these have various voltage settings on them and numerous tips for insertion into charging location on unit). This is often an issue with regular cell phones as well. If you don't use the same brand charger (or at the least, one of the reputable 3rd party manufacturers, ex: Belkin)...Most importantly, make sure the charger output matches input of the phone. If you're unsure, check you owners manual for specifications. Do the same for your charger specification. If it's quicker to use the internet. Search the net for your phone model. This also includes the info you need for the charger...Depending on the age of the battery and/or the tablet/e-reader. Again, there could be many variables
If the port on the tablet is loose/damaged or the cable/charger is failing, then the tablet may not be charging even though its plugged in.
If you can, try a different cable.
Make sure the charger is the correct one for the tablet! Some tablets require more electrical current then a computer's USB port provides. Same thing applies if you are using a 'phone' charger with the tablet, might not be enough current.
Most USB ports/chargers output about 5 volts DC (direct current), but they can vary in the amount of Amps (A) or mili-Amps (mA) they produce.
FYI - the symbol used to represent Direct Current is straight horizontal line with a dashed horizontal line directly under it.
Most computer USB ports only produce 500mA.
Most phone chargers only produce 1A.
Many tablets require 2.1A or 2.4A to properly charge.
Check with your tablet manufacturer to find out what your specific make/model requires and the look closely at the charger you are using to see what the OUTPUT is ... e.g. 5.2V 2.4A
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.
Are you using the charger that came with the tablet? If you are using a cell phone charger...it will not work. The tablet charger is rated for 2.1 A. Most cell phone chargers are rated for less than 1 A.
All I want is to unlock pattern for my second hand home surf tablet, I can t do nothing with it so those who say connect it to laptop or PC etc. I need a solution that works and done without having to pay anything.
