Different Kind of PlayBook Charger Problem
Hi Everyone!
I have been reading about quite a few different charging problems but none quite like mine.
A few weeks ago I started noticing that sometimes when I plug my PlayBook up to charge it does not charge. I have to shake the charger around in the port or unplug it and re-plug it in (most times I have to do this several times) for my tablet to start charging. I initially thought there was a problem with either the PlayBook's charging port or the charger, then I did some tests...
I noticed if I put the PlayBook on standby, when I plug the charger in, the PlayBook would "awake" but not charge (which means the port is detecting something). I then plugged the PB charger into my 9360 and the phone would charge without me having to move it around or unplug and re-plug it (which means the charger is good). Lastly I plugged my 9360 charger into my PlayBook and it would be detected (the little plug comes up in the battery meter) and started the "slow charging" immediately.
It seems my PlayBook's charging port is fine and the PlayBook's Charger is fine as well. The PlayBook just won't charge when I plug the charger in without me having to shake it around or unplug/re-plug the charger... which leaves me to one conclusion.... There must be something wrong with the connection being made with my PlayBook and my charger. I just don't know what... ANY HELP?
Thanks very much for reading through this lengthy post and I appreciate any constructive responses.
PS. I am able to connect the PlayBook to my computer and transfer files and backup fine.
