Why won't my Note 10.1 N8000 charge properly?

Battery charging problem for Note 10.1 N8000

This is my first time encountering this problem.

I was chargining my Note yesterday when it reached 15% of the battery. However, even though it was connected to the charger and the charging icon appears, the battery life of my Note is decreasing until it drains the battery. I charged it overnight but unfortunately, It only charged up to 3%. I already sacrificed my files just to reset/reboot the Note but the battery won't still charge properly.

I've tried almost everything. Wiped the cache partition, rebooting the tablet, and uninstalling everything. But the battery stays at 0%. Is it the motherboard? Hope not.

I highly doubt that it's the connector/charger because the lightning icon appears when I connect it. I'm a newbie. I really want to identify the problem and solve it.

Welcome to Android Central! I would wonder about a failing battery, but you'd have to bring it to a shop to replace (unless you want to try to do it yourself--there are probably videos on YouTube). You could also try a different charger, but my suspicion is the battery.

I had the same problem. I suggest change the cable to you.

I had the same problem. . Even the lightning bolt was appearing on the battery icon, but the charge level was still going down.

Turns out it was the charger that came with the tablet. I bought a charger off eBay for $10 and it's worked great for 2 years now!
