I would take the laptop battery out and clean the metal pins with a can of compressed air. If you still receive the error message after putting the battery back in, you will need to buy a replacement battery.

It is possible to toggle charging off. There is a FN+ key combination (forgot which maybe Fn+F2 with the battery and the lightening bolt?) so you can, for example, plug your laptop in to, say, an airplane recepticle, without charging the battery which is apparently a safety concern.If this feature is 'on' and you replace the battery, no this will not fix the issue.

I am having the same issue in the same time frame. It never worked with the plug, only via usb cable. Now it won't charge at all. Mine came with 1 year warranty.

Thanks everyone. However, I KNEW I where to press to turn it on. My problem was I charged it for 16 hours and when I pressed the button it did NOTHING. I messed around with it and then took the chance on charging it for about 12 more hours. I put it on the charger and smashed it in real hard and now I think it's working. Maybe I didn't have it fully in the charger. It seems weird that it just sits in there with no connection port. We'll see. I appreciate everyone taking the time to try and help. Happy Holidays.

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.

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 was having this issue as well...but i read that there is a RED light that turns on when the battery is charging...so i played with the USB that is plugged into the unit, and found that the red light turns on when its plugged about HALFWAY in. i checked, and it IS in fact charging. try adjusting the B side of the USB (mini part thats in the actual unit) before you return it.

I have an E6520 and my laptop wouldn't recognize it. I tried all kinds of solutions that I read about but in the end I sent it back. Not sure what the problem was.

That was one of the problems... nothing appeared to indicate it was actually charging. So I just made sure I had it plugged into a good socket and let it charge overnight... But the next day it still didn't work, so I returned it.

Charge it first, the power button is on the back. Hold it for three seconds, that should do it.

Need more info - like was it plugged in when the screen went dark?.. Have you tried plugging it in to be recharged to see if the green battery lights up? (May have to push the power on button momentarily while charger is plugged in).. If "yes" does it hold a charge and have you tried to turn it on while plugged in?.. If it's a battery or a tablet issue it need a tech - it could possibly be a charger issue.. Contact the factory, who knows they may stand behind their product and repair/replace - depending on many factors..

When you plug something into it and it does not work try resetting it. If that does not work try replacing it.

Dead battery? Get a jump! haha Seriously now.Are you sure its the battery? Does it work when its plugged in? As soon as you unplug,does it stop working? If that's the case,I'd take it in to a computer shop to get looked at.Is it still under warranty,& if that's the case,send it in.I haven't looked at my own manual,but can you change the battery yourself? I'd see if I could do it first myself,instead of paying omeone for something you might be able to do yourself.

Make sure it is seated properly and the power cord is in a functioning outlet. Mine charged immediately and works fine. If that doesn't help, I would return it and request another.

You are doing nothing wrong. The same thing happened to me, it seemed to never fully charge. I went through the website I bought it on and reported the problem and started the return process. I returned the unit as instructed. They replaced the unit free of charge

Sounds like the battery pack is no good! Did you try contacting the seller? Or try using another cable to charge it and see if that works.

Charge it overnight and try again. Ours showed that it was not charged at all but worked fine all of the sudden. We had not charged it for months. Other than that I do not know.

Did you make sure everything was plugged in well. Sometimes putting the cord onto the power source is a little hard and if it was on all the way then I would say something is wrong because within the 24 hours mine was fully charged.
