AC Question
I purchased my Galaxy Tab 2 a couple of years ago and recently had an issue with charging. I accidentally noticed the cable was frayed where it was plugged into the tablet, so I bought a new charger and it worked; for a few weeks. Now, frequently I see an X across battery icon and it seems to take forever to charge. As of the last time, however, it does not charge at all. The last battery pctg. was 27%. It WILL turn on right now if I push power button, but the battery charge (blue animation) icon does not show up when I plug in charger. I left it last night at about 40% and when I turned on today, it was only about 42 or 43 as I remember. I was wondering what the expected life of the battery is and if that may be the problem. I will admit (despite advice to the contrary) that I have frequently left the charger plugged in during use.
