Iconia One 7 (B1-750) not charging

jonaguirre

hi guys I bought a B1-750 2 months ago for my kid.  In just a month we're having charging problems with the unit.  It doesn't charge with the supplied charger.  I did a factory reset 3x nothing has changed.  It still won't charge with the charger.  

 

I tried other chargers but it barely charges still (tried with more than 5 different chargers already)  

 

a little help please. thanks!

There are two styles of chargers. The stock one provides more juice than is allowed by the USB spec and they get around that by putting a special load between the data pins, so the tablet can see that the high power charger is installed and go into full charging mode. When that load isn't there the tablet will not draw more than spec (500mA) and typically the charge is just maintained. You can use the slow charger to give a charge by fully turning the tablet off then leaving it connected overnight, but you really need to get a replacement for the original. You should still be under warranty so that should be a problem...
