Iconia A1-810 not charging

Ladyblue802

I purchased my Tablet in July from HSN.   after my 4 payments,  in Nov. '13 I noticed the charge wasnt lasting long at all.  for a month I fudged trying different power cords etc.   Even while plugged in to charge , the battery was constantly draining.  New Year's eve I finally bought a new power cord from Best Buy,  had no problem charging or staying charged until this past week, beg. of Feb '14.   I have no SD cards, etc installed.   Is this an internal battery problem or what.  

I am ready to trash it at this point out of frustration.   HELP!!!!!

Given that your tablet is still under warranty and you can return it anyway, have you considered a soft reset using a paper clip and then, if this does not work, a hard reset, bearing mind that this would wipe your tablet and return it to new condition so recommend backing up anything you want to keep. If your tablet will not charge, it's unusable so you have nothing to lose, worse case scenario is you brick it but you would wipe it anyway before returning.
