    try to power off and charge it the off.

     

    you can also try to do a factory reset but you will loose all your data, so do a backup first:

     

    settings/backup&reset/factory data reset

     

    then try to charge it again

    I'm not an Acer employee.

    I have tried that but to no avail, went to check it now and it has gone up to 1 square.

    It seems that Acer does not care now that they have sold it to the public.

    I will try and reset tomorrow. will let you know.

    Many thanks KUDOS for trying but I think reading the reviews

    its normal for that to happen so I won't be using it for a while

    and I'll get something which is more usefull.

    Its no good using it for a couple of hours and then have to

    wait 11 to 12 hrs to charge.

    Once again thanks.

    It sounds to me like there is something wrong with the charger, it's not putting out the needed current. Have you tried a different charger?
