The charger is flashing blue instead of staying lit when plugged in and not charging my laptop. I've had it 2 months. Thoughts?

Sorry I can't help as I only used it to do a temporary power up to grab my files. Wayne

Try to remove the plug. Allow to cool 30 minutes. Then plug it in again. If you do not help, then you need to change the charger! Unfortunately you have a defective product! Call to Amazon customer service.

When I got mine that didn't happen.About 7 months later it did stop charging tho. Id return it or have someone look at it. It might just be the charger, you never knew!

Probably a loose connection in the connection inside the laptop for the charger. Or wrong charger tip. First is most likely

I just had an issue with mine not charging. It got to zero and when I rebooted with it plug into the USB charger, I could see the little lighting bolt on the battery indicating it was trying to charge, but it shut off because of low batter. Kind of a Catch-22. I tried this cycle a few times and was fed up, so I decided to unplug it and let it 'die down' for half a day. Then I plugged it back in and the screen showed me that it was charging! I let it charge up for a few hours and it started up and continued to charge. If you are having charging issues, try letting it run out and "die", then plug it in. Worked for me, YMMV. I just had an issue with mine not charging.

Gosh. I wish I had an answer for you. Mine never worked. The blue light came on and that was it. I never got the opportunity to try it out. I tried different chargers thinking my charger was bad. Truthfully, the thing is a piece of junk.

Not sure why it's not charging? Mine works fine for over a year now. I'd check your charger first. Make sure all connections are correct & tight. Then, if still no luck, purchase a new charger-the least expensive fix. Make sure the 4(four) metal prongs on the right side of the pass-through box are straight & in-tact. Good Luck!

I had the same thing just happen, and when I connected it to my computer, it would connect and un-connect every couple of seconds.Obviously there IS something wrong with the charger, as mine also fit snugly and seemed like it would work perfectly. I ended up returning mine and am looking into other options.

Charge completely until the flashing light goes off .If that does not work contact phillips .i have had mine for over a year with no problem.

There should be a little blue light that comes on on the bottom that let's you know that it's charging. If the light isn't coming on, but it's charging maybe it blew out? Otherwise, I'd contact the company. They're really approachable. :)

The battery charger plugs into computer not the battery...???? maybe something is wrong with the charger...take the charger to a computer place and have them check if its putting out ,the charger might not be charging. If you have a voltmeter you can check the charger yourself or maybe the battery they sent you might be bad.

The charging unit does not appear to charge anymore (it's about a month old and maybe a week or two in use). I will try a third 9v battery to see if we can get it to charge later on today. However moments ago I tested for any voltage and expected to see none; to my surprise the charging unit appears to be allowing 22 - 23 volts through. Does anyone know if this charger is prone to problems? As soon as I locate the batteries that were delivered with this unit I will use them to test on this charger.If anyone has any info please email me at springfieldcomputers A T yahoo D O T com.

I've had this problem with mine. Try unplugging the charger and plugging it back in.

The same thing happened to me and I bought a replacement charger. That worked for a while but now will no longer charge the tablet. I say return the tablet, that's what I need to do.

Sounds like a defective charger. Check with Amazon on getting it replaced or getting money back.

I had problems with mine not charging- the 15% power light kept blinking no matter how long it was charged and despite the light that indicated it WAS charging going off; I ultimately returned it. A few other people seem to have some similar problems.

I think you should return the charger. Mine works for 20 to 30 min after charge. I don't remember the light thing as I haven't used it since late summer.

I guess I am the odd man out in this one. I love mine. Works good. Are you sure you got a good charge? When the unit is charging you get a visual indication on the screen that it is being charged. If you do not then maybe the connection to your power source is not seeded correctly. I plug mine into a usb port on my windows7 desktop, it recognizes it and starts charging right away.
