My tablet will not charge up

Are you using the supplied Samsung charger? Many times if your not using it, the tablet won't truly charge.

Turned off the tablet, unplugged the charger and kept the tablet off for about 30 minute to one hour, plugged in back the charger, then turn on the tablet. After that I you might see the tablet started charging. Good Luck.

It sounds like there's a problem with the charger. The wire on the charger is rather delicate. So is the port on your tablet where the wire plugs in. There may be a break inside the wire. If you dropped your tablet while the wire was plugged in and it hit the floor on the charger plug, the charger plug could have damaged the charging port in the tablet or the wire itself could be damaged.
Find someone else who has the same tablet and ask to switch chargers to see if either of them still work on the other tablet. If your friend's charger starts charging your tablet without a problem, then the problem is a a broken wire in your charger. If neither charger will charge your tablet but both chargers charge your friends tablet without a problem, then the problem is with the charging port on your tablet.

first of all these tablets take a long time to charge. second check the cable were you plug into tablet to make sure the holding clips are working and take hold. My first choice and most inexpensive is to buy a new charger. Also check plug in port for damage. look at warranty to see if it is still covered and get replaced. />

Did the charger that you are using come with the Tablets? Many 5 volt chargers can only output a 0.5 to 1amp current, while a Tablet typically needs 2 to 2.5 amps charging current. So, if you're using a charger from some other device, then it's almost certain that it cannot provide a sufficient current for the Tablet, and the charger overloads, shuts down cools off, turns on again, overloads again, shuts down etc repeatedly - giving the exact symptom you are reporting.

Even if the charger did come with the Tablet, some of the Chinese ones are of very poor quality and cannot provide reliable service. A replacement charger rated to suit your Tablet (there should be something in the specifications that came with the Tablet listing the requirements for the charger) should solve your problem {:o)

Depends upon exactly what's happening.

• When you plug in your charger, does it try to charge the Tablet? ie Does the Charging icon come on the screen briefly when the charger is plugged in with the Tablet turned off, or does the little charging 'lightning' symbol come onto the battery icon on the home screen when the Tablet is running?

• I assume the battery has gone flat, but will the Tablet turn on when the charger is connected?

If the charging icon comes on, and/or the tablet will run on the charger, then both the charger and the charge port connection on the Tablet are OK, and the most probable cause of failure is the internal battery which will need to be replaced.

However, If neither the icon comes on nor the Tablet runs on the charger, then either the charger has died, or the plug/socket on the Tablet where it connects is faulty. The most likely cause is that the charger has died and will neeed to be replaced

There is a slight chance that the internal charging circuits in the Tablet may have developed a fault, but that is highly unlikely {:o)

Sounds like it does not have enough battery power to stay on. If you have not tried to charge it, you should try that first. If you have, it sounds like it is not getting charged or not holding a charge. Could be bad AC power source, bad charger, bad charger connection or bad battery. Take steps to confirm that each of these are good. If all of these are good, sometimes the tablet can become so discharged that it will not allow itself to charge. When they are in that state, sometimes you can trick them into charging again by repeatedly disconnecting and reconnecting the charger as follows: With charger plugged in to AC power source, connect the charger to the tablet. Pay attention to the screen or LED or whatever indicator your tablet has to let you know it is charging. You may see it momentarily indicate charging, or maybe not at all. Then unplug the charger from the tablet then immediately plug it back in and pay attention for the charge indication again. You may have to do this a bunch of times (like 20) until you see the indication that it is charging. When you do get the indication, stop unplugging and re-plugging and let the tablet charge for 24 hours (to a full charge). This trick doesn't always work. Sometimes the battery or charging circuit or an internal connection is bad and no amount of unplugging/re-plugging will fix a hardware problem.

Possible charger damage.
If you know someone with a charger you could use, you should first plug their charger into your unit to see if it works, if not, plug your charger into their unit.
If your unit will not charge with new charger, you may have serious damage, if the other will not charge with your charger, your charger is broken.

take the tablet to a store that sells charger , ask if you can test it before you buy it

i can suggest you get a Duracell wireless charger which you just place your tablet on and it charges?
