PlayBook charger - red&green light?
I had my playbook on the table over the night with around 30% battery left, and next morning when i'm tryed to start it again it just give me 5sec red light and then 3 green lights.
I've tryed to find an answer on google but the only thing i found was to put the usb cabel in and start desktop softw & push the power button for 10sec and then wait. But nothing happends.
I just have the USB cabel because i forgot to unbox it in the store and now i'm 2000 miles away from the nearest playbook retailer :/
Can someone help me!
Thanks:confused:
Playbook charging details
Here is some information on charging that may be useful
1) USB ports in general now are CAPABLE of putting out between 1.5-2A - most designs now tend to go to 2A. HOWEVER, just because they can do that does not mean that you will get 2A from the port when you plug in a device. When you plug in a device and you hear the "THE-DUNK" sound, the USB port has been told that there is a USB device and according to the specs, the PC sets the current to 0.5A or less
2) Now the only way to bypass this USB setting of 0.5A is to make sure that the device does not get seen by the PC (DATA LINES ONLY). There are many different charging methods used by wall chargers to start charge (shorting D+/D-, resistor dividers for Apple etc).
3) I did some experiments with the CSQUID cable that I got and what it does is quite unique. There is a switch that allows the high current charge in one mode and sync data/lower current in the other mode. So you can charge the higher current tablets / charge mobile phones faster AND do data on the same cable when needed.
Hope this was helpful:p
