Charging cable? I recently found this tablet for a very good price, but it did not include a way to charge it. I can't seem to find any cables or anything on Amazon. What can I do?

how do you know that the charger is the problem and not the battery?Just got one used defined 'like new' and after 6h on charge the battery still indicates 0% and when I disconnect the charger, it turns off

Here is the result of my weekend research: Cheap cables can be found on eBay, but they come from China/Hong Kong and I'm not going to purchase them (sketchy). Office Depot has them in store apparently. Go to their website and search "768723" (the chargers item #). You can then check the availability in your closest store, or just order it online. Its $30, but it seems to be the same price no matter where I look, as no legit 3rd party companies have made them yet. I'll be stopping by m nearest Office Depot tomorrow.I hope this helps :)

I had issues connecting mine also. My problem ended up being the usb cable that came with the tablet. I tried a different cable I had for my phone and it connected right up.

I had the same problem. The reality is it isn't a very good tablet. You buy a 99 dollar tablet...you get a 99 dollar tablet. I had mine for 5 months and it stopped taking a charge. I learned my lesson.

This happened to me also. I thought it was the charger. I bought a new charger. It still wouldn't charge. I returned it to Amazon (manufacturer has a 1 year warranty on defects) and they sent me a brand new one that does work. It wasn't the charger, it was the charging port on the tablet. If you need to return yours for the same reason, go to your orders page and contact the seller. Amazon was very fast and helpful in replacing it for this reason. The new replacement one has been working (charging) fine.

A month old purchase from where?Please be specific as for if it is brand new out of the manufacturer's box or refurbished?You might be able to find your own answer here- otherwise I will be interested to assist you further for some other quirky acts Andriod tablets love to put on to show love for you.Also try to put on the charger in a firm position on both ends, then wait for some charging indicator and press/hold power button for 2 seconds+ might also spark up that guy for you.Best of Luck-!

Nope. Not at all. There is no port for this thing, and it doesn't charge over USB either. I can't stress enough exactly how much of a horrible purchase this is. Also, your tablet doesn't have bluetooth? Is it an Android? If it is, it should have bluetooth as an option, but it might not if it isn't one. Still, in all, DO NOT BUY THIS THING. It is a waste of time and money.

Are you using the charger that it came with? My cable broke, so I had to buy a new charger. My tablet would only charge half way ...then I bought a rapid charger and let it charge without turning it on. Worked.

As of today, I would not have given this tablet such a good review. My nephews tablet is frozen/locked and it won't do anything at all anymore. Also, I've noticed that unless the charger is held in a certain position, the tablet will not charge properly. I've decided to spend more money on a nice one for my son as a gift for Christmas this year rather than keep trying to get this one charged and working properly. Very unsatisfied with these tablets now!!! Good luck getting your app to work and I sincerely hope your tablet works well, it's not a bad tablet for the price but you definitely get what you pay for!!

Not sure about charging a tablet? You should be able to keep a small device connected to it though.

Are you sure Sony no longer have these accessories? When I purchased this tablet this summer on Amazon, it came with the wrong charger. I called Sony and they directly sent me the right charger with the USB cord. This was this past summer. You should call the Sony Mobile Tablet division.

Theres a specific type of power cord for it. however, i dont (and i repeat DONT) recommend this tablet. its just not worth the money. and also, i need a new power cord because mines literally snapped in half at the base of the cord (it isnt even fixable) and now my tablet is DEAD. Kauput! Deceased! Im saving up for a new tablet and i'll probably keep this one for my niece.. and that doesnt even make sense because she has a samsung galaxy tab already :/Back to the cord thing, just amazon or even ebay "charger for koby kyros 8-inch tablet" and you should get your answer :)

I admit that this tablet is Dell's worst. I do have one, but I have no problems with charging so far. Try ordering another charging cable.

Hi, it doesn't include a charger or cable. You will need to use the one that came with the tablet.kind regardsTed

This comes with a charging cable for the cradle, and an adapter that you put on the back of your tablet so it'll fit in the cradle and charge. But I do believe, it is the exact same cable that comes with the tablet, same exact length too. Make sure, you don't throw out the cardboard that come with the cradle. They tape the adapter on the back of the cardboard in a very not noticeable location!

The tablet comes with a usb converter cord, which you can attach to a mini usb cord to use with the tablet. I've done this a few times. Works just fine.

my mom has the same tablet. we bought an after market power charger for hers via an Amazon seller and it ended up fitting the plug but not able to charge it. so, we went directly to Marquis's website and they sell their power cords for $5 plus shipping. http://shop.marquispad.com/Charging-cable-for-MP977-CC100.htm
