Put the charger in a ziplock back and throw it into the freezer for a few hours and then try charging it. There is a heat cutoff switch in the wall wart and this resets it.

One day I was streaming Netflix and charging at the same time and it over heated. I tried everything and finally found that suggestion somewhere and it worked.

Just made me a believer! Freezer trick worked but only kept in freezer like 15 min. I plugged it in to see if it worked and at first it didn't look like it did. I tried to power on justs for kicks and it powered up and started charging. I could not get it to do anything but show me the charging screen before, it would not charge at all. FYI: I have not been able to charge my Asus transformer with any other usb cord or wall socket and was told I would void my warranty if I tried and my unit stopped working. I would not buy this product again simply due to this issue. What happens when my factory supplied cords stop working?

Hi guys, so basically i made this account to ask for support about my battery/ charger? My tablet won't charge! I've plugged it into numerous wall outlets and even onto my computer and I still got nothing. My parents are giving me HELL about it, saying I've broken it. I've searched and I believe it may be the charger, seeing as many others have had the same issue with them.
In my case, I charged it overnight (as I always do because I need it for school) and I expected it to work, and it wouldn't turn on. I thought maybe I was too sleepy and didn't put the charger in the outlet, but when I went home to plug it in, it still wouldn't charge! It showed me the little battery icon with an exclamation mark in the bottom right hand corner. I've been leaving it plugged in hoping that it would charge but it only charged to 1%. When I showed it to my mother, (3 hours later), she plugged it into the computer and it increased to the orange level? What do you guys think? Do you think I may have broken my tablet? Is it the charger? I've read that it could also be a software problem, but I can't really talk to my parents right now. I've tried reasoning but they're pretty pissed. HELP PLEASE?!

Hold power button while unplugged for 20 seconds, then let tablet turn off by its self. Plug back into charger and your done. Charging will commence as normal. Remember. If it's an LG device use an LG charger. If it's Samsung use a Samsung charger. All device charging pins are set up just a hair differently. Using the correct charger for the device is always recommended.

I know that there is this but i tried several different chargers and they all wont charge my tablet properly. It will go up to 2% but no higher.
