OK, Lisa, the unit I purchased has worked perfectly and I haven't had any issues. I set it up for charging and it charges fine . I can't honestly say I have any complaints. Not to seem unimaginative but if beleive the unit is defective then I'd contact Amazon customer service. There are also written instructions with the unit. I hope this has been helpful.

I generally charge it for about ten to fifteen minutes and work a full time job and it's never really died on me...If I get up to leave the computer I'll usually just hook it up and when I come back unplug it and I'm good to go. Never had it die on me yet.

I don't know about the timeframe but I've had this setup for aproximately 6 months now and it charges just fine. I plug it in while I sleep and the next day it's done. It has red and green led indicators so you know when they're charged.

If its the power adapter see if your version is a 5volt (some were 9volt check your adapter.. you can also get generic power supply with adapter to work as well) and has a usb to attach to a computer. If not then maybe a new charger is in order. I've had several Super Pad in the past, if the plugging into a computer usb or new charger doesn't work, only choice left is to depress the reset button.... If that doesn't work its inside the unit unfortunately. Repair or replace.

I'm having the same experience as @JustMe. I bought this as replacement for my Toshiba, and initial it seemed to be just fine. But after using the battery for a while it does not hold a charge very well. I charge the battery to it's fullest, but it seems to drain very quickly. Like JustMe said, I almost always have to have the laptop plugged into AC in order to use it for more than 5 minutes. I'd suggest looking for a better replacement battery that will actually hold a charge for more than a few minutes.

I've had it for so long that I can't remember exactly. As best I can remember, it came charged or partly charged because I wanted to make sure that it worked. Once I found out it did work, I just let it charge overnight and it's worked perfectly ever since. Could have come 100% charged or 10% charged as there was no way of knowing but an overnight charge for sure made it 100%. I'm happy with mine.

Sorry for the late response. it's supposed to be, but it would not charge. I returned it and got the Lenmar brand instead. Apparently, according to Lenmar, you have to update the bios. Which I did. Battery works perfectly.

Wanda- I have this charger and use it on a brand new HP Envy 15" (not sure of the model). It does work and comes with a variety of plugs and connectors. It is smaller (thinner) than the standard charger but that comes with a price. Even at 90 watts it is under powered for a quad core laptop. It runs hot and if I am really challenging the processors I will get drop-outs (for lack of a better word) where the charger just can't keep up with the load. It's not enough to reject the charger but you have to be aware that it can't do what it's big brother does. I would prefer a 120 watt charger but this one works for travelling. I would probably give it 3-1/2 stars. Good luck!! Wanda- I have this charger and use it on a brand new HP Envy 15" (not sure of the model).

Had a similar issue; it had to be replaced. Based on what I was told when I called them, the initial batch of these went out with this sort of problem. In my case, while it still worked, it would no longer charge and was not recognized by the computer's USB port (I tried it on several different computers). As I recall, mine did not have a model number on it, which was their indication that it was one of those in the first batch.

What method have you been using to charge it? Usb to pc or usb to power adapter? Also, have you tried using a different cable? I would try holding the power button down a bit longer than usual just to see if it eventually comes on. Hoping it fires back up for ya!

Mine holds its power for weeks on end if it's not being used - it was fully charged the end of December and I used it for the first time this year on March 20th. It opened at 4 bars and charged up my phone and computer just fine and still had 2 bars..... Thinking you might want to contact the manufacturer or Amazon if it's a fairly new purchase.

I charge mine 2x per week, but I don't use it every day. I charge mine at my computer. I also turn it off when I am not using it. If I have forgotten to, the battery drains very easily.

Never like hearing these stories. I don't recall a warranty myself, sorry. It's over six months old, and I'd be doubtful on a warranty but worth a try with the vendor and let them know if it stopped charging suddenly or was the computer telling you all along there was "X" amount of life remaining. Just as an FYI, the recommendation is it is good for the battery to use it on Battery Only mode to wear it down and do a recharge rather than keeping the computer plugged in all the time. Good luck, J. J.
