Hi all, first time poster here and I am in need of some advice. Two days ago I finally opted to do the Jelly Bean update, I initiated the update and went to sleep while leaving the tablet plugged into an outlet. I unplugged it the next morning and went to work. Later that afternoon, when I went to use it, it would not turn on so I figured the battery had possibly run dead. I have left it charging for ample time now and every time I attempt to turn it on it acts as if it is still dead. I am not sure if this has to do with the update, but it was the last think I did so it seems to correlate.
Amber light would indicate that it's actively charging. Green means fully charged. I suspect this is more likely a battery/charging malfunction rather than JB update problem.
Make sure you charge via a wall outlet. Check on it every once in a while. If after 6 hours the light is still amber, I would suspect you have a hardware issue with the battery or the charging system.
The Following User Says Thank You to novox77 For This Useful Post:
I am using an outlet as via USB seems to not charge the tablet, and if it does it is not very significant. I will let it charge again and report back in.
-Is there anyway the charging cable could be faulty even though I normally leave it plugged into the same outlet (i.e. it doesn't get moved around/stuffed in a bag)?
- I'm not sure if this is of any help, but the last two times the tablet got to the 15% it gave me a low battery message as expected, but then the tablet suddenly shut off instead of allowing me to drain the last 15% battery.

yeah this sounds like a hardware issue more then JB like novoxx has suggested. i hope you have some sort of extended warranty for it, you might need it.
