What indicates that my new N700m is CHARGING?

On mind there is a red LED that glows whenever it is connected to the charger. Unfortunately, the red LED never turns off or changes color to indicate it is fully charged. Does yours behave the same way?

No problem! I'll try to do some more testing tonight, but so far I've only tried charging the tablet itself. The only way I was able to verify that it charged was to make note of the battery life before plugging it in, then check the numerical status after 20 minutes. During that time, my battery widget showed an increase from 94% to 97%. I'm not sure if the keyboard dock needs the full 2 A to set off the LED charging indicator (since that's what the OEM AC adapter ouputs) but I'll try it out tonight and report back. Either way, if you're interested in picking one of these up, I just got mine for $60 shipped from buy.com No problem!

Are you sure it's not charging, or is there just no battery icon? Mine laptop lost the battery icon until I charged and used the battery 3 times, then the battery icon appeared. If it really isn't charging, I would send it back.

I may have some residual charge from its manufacture, but it is by no means "fully charged" when received. To fully charge it, you must connect it to whatever device or charger to which it is a component.

Fast charging is enabled in the BIOS. Disable it to get the laptop to charge to 100%.

I'm hoping it means that it is working as described in the manual. I know what happens when it stops taking charges as that's what happened with the last Dell ordered: it wouldn't hold a charge! And I was at critical level for as low as allowed for a Laptop. I simply unplugged and turned it off while waiting to get resolved, so it wouldn't use power. Reported it to Amazon and they sent a label out immediately as well as someone to pick it up for refund. They (Amazon) were great to work with in getting resolved. As soon as it was received by Amazon, I was refunded the charges. It also helps if you're a Prime Member, as they had the new one express delivered on Christmas Eve Day! That's service!

No, mine seems to be just fine. I have had it about a month and already charged it many times.

if your tablet was turned off then a green light flashes on the screen ,so it means its charging ,but if its turned on and it comes on the screen then it either needs a new charger or it just normal , by the way dont let your tablet fall on a hard floor becuase then you cant fix it ,love your fellow costumer help

You should look at the charging indicator on your phone to determine if it is being charged. Unless your charging indicator is ON, your device is not being charged, regardless of any lights on the PoweRocks charger.

To charge, power should be off. Blinking lights indicate charging in progress.

The unit has a Green Power Light when charging, also how much of a load do you have connected?

Its probably charging. I believe you have to allow it to charge for quite some time before you can really use it.

No, it's not normal, you should send it back, mine has always charged to 100% in the 3 months that I been using it.
