Charger: Has anyone else had this problem?

I have just had this same problem. One of my friends purchased this same netbook and his power charger works, so it is definitely the power adapter and not the netbook. I purchased this netbook in 3/09 and have been extremely happy until now. I have never had a problem with a power charger before, so I called Asus Support and described my problem, expecting them to send a replacement. Unfortunately, the warranty is only 6 months on batteries and power supplies. After asking to speak to a supervisor, who returned my call the next day, she repeated their policy and would not accommodate my request. I regret having recommended this product to several friends who have purchased it!!! I am highly disappointed and will never purchase another Asus product!!!!

I think its a battery issue, have you replaced it yet? Does that happen while on the charger?

Mine is doing the same thing. Right out of the box. Not sure if it's the charger, the battery or the charge port. Neither USB nor the main adapter charge it at all.

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!

I've had this happen occasionally with mine, particularly as the battery has gotten older. It seems to happen only after it has been plugged in for a long time. Unplugging it and letting it sit seems to clear it. If I don't leave it plugged into the charger for more than a day, I don't see the problem. If your's always does it, I think the battery may be getting sick, or the charging circuit is defective.

HI Paula: I gave the charger to a friend as a gift. I will ask her and try getting back to you in a timely manner.

I have not had that issue. I bought a new one a couple of weeks ago off of Amazon for $20.00 that came with the charger new. I only needed the charger. I did not see on the manufacturers website the ability to purchase just the charger for this model.

Had the same issue here, bought a third party charger that works like it should.

Suire you checked that the charger wasn't the problem. I would contact Sena and see about returning the bad unit.

I do not have this problem. However I have been very careful not to leave it on the charger too long. My experience with this type of battery is that if it is frequently left on the chrger longer than 12 hours it looses some of its ability to hold a charge.

Patricia, are you sitting it on the charger correctly? I have no problem. If you are perhaps a return or exchange is in order.

I found out it wasn't the unit - the cord/charger was bad. A lot cheaper to replace than the main unit. If you know someone else with the same model, try borrowing their charger cord and testing it with your unit. Odds are that's the problem. Good luck.

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.

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