I am having an issue similar to another user.There is a question mark in my battery indicator and the only way it turns on is when I have it plugged in. The other user opened up his G tablet and unplugged the power supply then plugged it back in. Can somebody let me know exactly where they cord I have to unplug is? Thanks.
I know there is a breakdown of the hardware here:

But I've got it open and I just need someone to tell me exactly what I need to unplug.

This morning i woke up and found out that my g2x is off. I tried to pull the battery out, plug it back in, put in the charger but nothing happened. What should i do now ?
Try a different outlet or maybe a computer, let it sit a bit then turn it on. If that doesn't work do you know anyone else with the same exact battery? Doesn't have the be the same phone just the same battery, make sure the power readings on the battery label are the same. Put yours in their phone and theirs in yours to see if the issue follows the battery. If it does then you have a bad battery. Could try a different charging cable too, may have a short in the one you have now .

Do a battery pull and yea try a different usb charger or outlet.
Happened to me once, the battery was dead. I was able to turn it on by connecting it to the charger.
Hi all,
Sorry in advance if I'm asking for something that has been answered before.
I have seen lots of threads that talked about the Asus Transformer tf101 and tf101G that doesn't charge correctly.
My TF101G stopped charging after it was fully drained after the kids played some games on it. When I plugged it in to charge the TF screen came on with a big battery indicator which showed a empty battery with red at the bottom. Then it just goes off. When trying to switch on again it just briefly flashes this battery and goes off again.
I left the TF to "charge" overnight and this morning after about 6 hours of charging it had +-14% battery life.
So it appears that the charger still trickle charges the TF when it completely off, but doesn't want to charge when it powered on.
Also, the TF recognizes the cable when it gets plugged in. If off and with some power in the battery the TF starts to boot up, but no charge indicator is showed when booted and battery drains as per normal.
Could it be that this is a software issue? I would guess not, but then again I ask myself if the charger or USB cable was broken then it wouldn't trickle charge. right?
Anyone came across this yet?
I know that some people suggested the freezer trick, but I don't want to do that before I checked on this with the community members here.
Many thanks in advance for your assistance and sorry again if I missed a similar thread.

It could. The charger cable got 2 red wires thats connected to the same point on the TF.
One of the wires is your normal +5v USB power, while the other is connected to a USB3 pin to tell the charger to spit out 15V instead of 5V.
If that particular cable is broken, the charger will only send 5V.
The odds that that small wire is broken though, is... well, very slim.
I have an iPaq 111, part of the 110 series. It's been stored in a closet for over two years. I hooked a batter charger to the battery itself (outside of the device) to charge it up enough to be able to take a charge once I put it back inside the device.
Once I did that, it powered right up, and everything worked perfectly. Then I went to unplug it, and surprise to me, it shuts off.
I've tried EVERYTHING, HP doesn't even publish there ROM. Found a setup utility to download to my PC to access my iPAQ, but it's in German, and high school was a long time ago so it's hard to understand; but what I can understand enough is that it cannot find a device. Same goes with the extension I installed through HP's website, it only finds my HP computer.
I've plugged it into my computer and the light is GREEN, suprisingly, but it does not turn on. If I plug it into the AC power adapter, it DOES turn on, stays green, and once on the homescreen, shows battery at 100% (was 23% onwards today when I was charging it). My voltage meter shows about 4 volts coming from the battery. Contacts on all ends are clean. ROM issue? Yes, I have tried soft and HARD resets.
Any help will be much appreciated. Please please please! THank you!
Battery is not fine, its dead. The proof is the fact that on AC power it turns on, but not when connected to.USB. AC power has enough amps to directly power the device, USB does not. When connected to USB power is indirectly drawn, as the phone attempts to use battery power for operation while charging it at the sametime, thus lessening the total draw. It still however needs battery to work.
Basically, the battery is dead. By a new one of eBay.
icenight, THANK YOU for the reply, it was so quick. I have figured it was the battery, BUT:
I've checked the battery with a voltmeter and it shows over 4V- using my good Fluke. Also, when it's plugged in, it progressively showed the battery charging and it's now at 100%...
Are you still thinking it could be the battery? Not enough amps from the battery? I hate to sound cheap, but it's more about the wait- I want to eBay this iPaq since I don't use it and it keeps getting in the way!
Thanks again
iPaq still not working
New battery arrived. Still does the same thing. I've read around and it could be the ROM, but it wont stay on when plugged into the PC USB port. Computer sometimes makes a noise when I plug and unplug it though. Even put a homemade "in-line" power supply to it using a 5V 1.5A adapter. This allows it to stay on when plugged into the PC usb, but there is no communication. This thing is a pile of **** I tell ya.
Any help would be so much apprecaited. Thank you so much. I can barely get past these "captcha" thingys.
Regards,
Robert
I don't really see any posts about charging issues but rarely my phone will not charge regardless of cable, wall outlet or through usb such as computer or car. I'll find my phone plugged in overnight only to wake up to it being dead and charging. I seem to find if I reboot my phone it will actually start charging again otherwise it will act like a cord is never plugged in.
Today it decided to die and not even turn on, however a reset with power and volume off fixed this. But I was wondering if this is a normal issue? Or software related or should I check with warranty? This happens rarely though.
I need help, my SP3 will not charge and if the power is disconnected the computer will immediately shut off. A few months ago my battery life was around 60% now it's down to 21% and will not go up.
I've tried everything on the Microsoft community support pages, removing the drivers, doing the updates , booting to BIOS, different tricks in turning the computer on and off. I really think it needs something to wake the battery up, I don't think it's dead , it has to be a software/firmware issue but I don't know where to start to fix this thing. Any ideas??
Can you replace the Surface charging port. Go to Microsoft store
Fix for Charging Issue!
This will sound crazy but it does work! Do not plug the charger in to the wall! First plug the cable in to the Surface(without the charger in the outlet)! After the cable is plugged in to the Surface plug the wall wort in to the outlet. I know this sounds crazy but it does work! Once it is done in this order the Surface will begin to charge!
I can't remember where I found this fix but when I locate it again I will post a link in my reply!!!!
This comment I'm pasting here is from the link for the fix.
(problem solved. All you have to do is plug cord in to computer before you turn on the power, or plug it in. Works every time!!!)
Nevermind XDA will not let me post a link to the fix! Trust me this does work
