Charging Problem

[JIH2009]

I'm having a charging problem!

At times it charges at 1% an hour, takes many many hours to get any decent amount of charge. At times, it says its being charged via USB when its plugged in the wall charger.

Any suggestions?

Are you using the original (Asus) charger and cable?
Have you tried charging with the device turned completely off?

It's quite possible that the micro-USB port is starting to flake out. You could try cleaning it out with a toothbrush and compressed air; if that doesn't make any difference then perhaps it's time to try wireless charging.

omg, i have the same problem now. now i guess that it is suggesting that the battery is about to die. time to get a new tablet.

As I mentioned previously, it may be that the micro-USB port is going bad. You could try wireless charging.

Or you could look for a replacement battery; I think I've seen them on Amazon for around $35.

The nVidia Shield K1 makes a great replacement if you decide to go that route.

Have you tried a different charger? Different cable?
