HI PK, you know you can unplug the lead from the charger end and plug that into a usb port on a PC etc.If it charges continually while moving the lead about a little, it's not a faulty lead?
Also my phone has the same micro usb port, the charger from which will charge a N7 as long as the Nexus socket or it's internal connections are OK. |

I have done this with my pure chronos radio and still not charging so it probably is the lead but again if l plug a different USB cable into the charger, there is no charge as well!
They are known to have problems, mine just stops responding to any inputs on the screen very often. I reckon it's probably a dodgy internal connection, as it most likely is with yours.I certainly wouldn't waste money buying a brand new power pack if it's not showing signs of charging with another charger -no matter how slow the charge might be. |

In that case, all things being equal, it's definitely the N7 that has the problem.

I thought you said you'd already tried your audio chronos charger on the N7?

I'm sure it isn't the Nexus 7 as l switched the changer with one from one for my mobile phone. The tablet charges 100% while the charge to the mobile is unresponsive!

My monies on the battery. I had to fit a new battery to same model. If you Google it it's pretty easy to change.
Seems there's some confusion as to whether the same lead is used. |

The problem was the mirco USB cable so l went and brought a replacement in Maplins. The cable connector is a snug fit and charging is 100% ok.
Cheers. |
