My charger starts falls out (after two months of use) and doesn't charge. Is it the charger or the tablet that needs to be replaced?

It may only be the charger. The charger is pretty common on a lot of models. If you know a friend or someone, get them to plug their's into your tablet. If it falls out then it probably the insert where you plug it in gone bad. I had two of these models and one completely locked up. The other one is doing fine. If another charger plug in falls out then yes it is the tablet. Not sure if it would be worth fixing because of the cost.

I would have to say the tablet. Mine works just fine and holds a long charge

Actually, you may want to contact coby about this problem. They can get you a new tablet that will be fixed. Good luck!

I really don't know where you can get it fix because, I used the squaretrade warranty that I got for it and they are going to reimburse the money. It wasn't worth to get another one of those tablets anyways its not a good tablet.

It is broken due to the charger. It has a problem because it doesn't stand charging.

The problem could be either the battery or the charger but is most likely the charger. If you have a second battery you can test. I had the same problem and ordered a new charger. It has worked great for the last year.

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.

Mine did the same thing but I dont remember how exactly I figured it out but I just opened the back and I found out the charging piece wasnt attached no more that could be whats wrong with yours .. but I kinda just improvised and put a folded up little peice of paper on the top of just that area and closed the tablet I dont really know how to fix it

Thats what i have. The charger is a manufacturer charger and says samsung on it. That is the only charger that can be used with that tablet. If the charger you received does not say samsung on it, i would contact the seller

I am a bit confused. Can someone please explain the issue? Does the tablet stop charging for no apparent reason, or does the USB port get broken. Or do both issues seem to happen do different people. When I first heard of it, it sounded like the USB port was breaking, but then one respondent says he fixed the issue by letting the battery run down completely.

I agree with the previous response. I contacted the company on a separate issue and they responded quickly with a followup concerning my issue. There should be no problem in getting a replacement charger.

I would get on Amazon and contact the seller. In reading other replies I see this is has happened and the company took care of it. I have not had no problems with my charger or my tablet. Make sure the cord when charging is on a flat surface and not an angle. I am sure the company, as an Amazon vendor will take care of this.

I had the same problem before I realized the charging port was damaged. The port gets shoved back into the unit and no longer takes connects to the charger. I can't say this is what is wrong with yours for sure. The unit I had was a piece of junk. We rarely used it and it was just over the 1 year warrantly when mine broke. If yours is still under warranty, I would return it and get a different tablet.

Sadly I have had the same issue and am replacing the tablet. Not a happy camper. The charging options on this tablet are awful, it's pretty much orphaned as a product -- I gave up.

The Red "X" and lightening bolt usually means either an incompatible charger, or the battery has gone bad. Change chargers first. If this does not fix your issue, and your tablet is still under warranty, you may want to contact Samsung about the issue. If it is not, your best bet may be to replace it. If it is currently working, just not charging properly, try and back up everything you can. Plug it into a USB port on your computer and see if it recognizes it as charging, or at least a transfer device.

If the tablet will not charge or does not turn the first thing to check is the adapter or power source, often these chargers stop working, my recommendation is to take it to a technical center for verification

The tablet came with a wall charger. However, there are also chargers here on Amazon. You could also contact the manufacturer and purchase one that way.

I haven't had that problem but you can remove the battery and wipe the contacts and the tablet connections as well and make sure the battery is charged and replace all and try again hope that works for you.
