1. Yes it is a microUSB port on the back.
2. Yes the cable is plugged into the back of the dock.
3. Yes this is the wallwart that came with the tablet and it works fine with other devices.
4. Yes the tablet is seated right on the docking station.
We don't seem to be quite on the same page. The tablet does charge when in the docking station and the docking station is plugged into the tablets wallwart that came with the tablet. What I want to do is have the wallwart charging the tablet while the usb cable is plugged into the laptop. Without drawing charge power from the laptop. Right now with the current setup I can have the dock plugged into the laptop or the wallwart but not at the same time.

2. You have a microUSB-to-USB cable plugged into the back of the dock.
3. That cable is plugged into a working wallwart (that you've tested with other devices).
4. The tablet is in the dock, with the connector all the way in.
And the tablet still isn't charging? If so, then the dock is defective. Contact Amazon for a refund.
