ok before i pack this thing up and send it back any tips on getting this thing to charge? i tried the leave unplugged for 20 minutes crap and still nada. i tried factory reset and it still will not charge. intially it would not turn on and after about 20 tries it came on and was charging then i see connect the charger popup. i also have the kayboard it doesnt charge either. i even switched the main plug with my own and nothing. it sucks to spend this type of money (also dont forget searching for it too) on a product and it wont charge.
Can you see the model number on your charger/psu? Take a look here and see if yours matches.

yup i have the 0B-1LF. hmm thats not the defective one right?
No I think yours is OK, it's the 0B-LF that's the faulty unit.
make sure you have the plug end of the charger shoved all the way where it's flush at the end.......you have to really push hard to get it in there.....easy to assume it's all the way in when it's not.
Why not check the OTHER 2 THREADS ON THE FIRST PAGE ALONE for feedback?
The adapter for the charger...make sure you push it hard all the way in.
Make sure that you have the 2 sections of the wall charger fastened together correctly, they're a very tight fit but will snap together after applying quite a bit of force.
the charger was snapped together fine and i have done that about ten times already. ill just keep trying if it dont work by tomorrow then ill just send back for a refund. also i have the 32 gig version if that helps anything.
I have the same charger model as you, same problem. Sent an RMA request and going to leave it on SUPER SLOW USB charge overnight, hopefully it will rise above 10% for the first time!!!

Your solution is TO USE THE OTHER 2 THREADS ON THE FIRST PAGE DEDICATED TO THIS SUBJECT.
Seriously people, making a new thread over a buried thread okay, but there are not one but TWO threads on this subjects on the first 1~2 pages.
ok you posted that earlier and now you posted it again what you want attention or something? thread is made so it is what it is why you keep coming back to it. the other threads had charging issues after they have used it mine is fresh out the box with the docking station. if you cant help why bother posting?
referring you to another thread which is already posted on the subject is helping you. And no those threads also state out of the box no charging.
EDIT: And no I don't want attention, I want idiots like you to stop making 5 threads on the same subject, especially when 2 existing ones are already on the first page.
Charger didn't work - but now it does
This is my first post ever - Please resist the idiot response, even if this post should go elsewhere. Thanks.
I got my transformer and keyboard this past Thursday. It charged fine, and I used it all day Friday. Tried to charge it Friday night and I got the same issue as the folks who've posted here and on the other two threads on the topic. The charging part that plugs into the wall was not even slightly warm - no charging on either pad or keyboard. The charger if have is the supposed revised one - OB-1LF - the one that is supposed to be OK. I plugged and unplugged - waited 20 minutes - Pushed extra hard on the connections - I tried all the suggestions given in these posts and nothing worked.
I called Asus on Saturday and the tech said I'd have to ship the whole thing back - turnaround in 10 days or so. There is nothing wrong at all in anyway with the pad or the keyboard. But no, they would not let me buy another charger. I declined, and called the company I bought it from. They invited me to send it back to them for exchange but they have none in stock - might be mid-June before they could get me a new one...
I charged it overnight using the USB method. Seems to take about 15 hours or so but it will charge that way. Heaven knows how long the keyboard would take to charge!
Yesterday, I tried plugging in the charger again. And it it worked. I have no idea why. It's still working today. I'm back in business, but I have no idea if it will die again, or if it is fixed.
I hope this is helpful to someone.
Posted this in another thread in the accessories sub-forum. I'll put it here to in the hopes it reaches the most people and helps at least a few.
This may sound crazy but hear me out. I have an EEE PC 1005HA netbook. I had situation once where i moved it and noticed it wasn't charging. Then it died and still wouldn't charge. I was upset because it was new and I talked to a friend who mine who is an electrical engineer. He said they likely used some cheap parts in the charger as many companies do for mass volume items.
He suggested i take the charging cable, power brick, and put them in the freezer for an hour. Then take them out, give them about 10 minutes to heat back to room temperature and try again. Sure enough, my EEE Pc charger worked fine after that procedure. I also had several friends with netbook who had issues and i had them try the same thing, after they gave me an insane look for telling them to put the power cable and power brick into their freezer, and they all worked. I'm still using the same cable/power brick that this issue happened with on my eee PC netbook, I have freezered it twice since owning it, but it works great for several months in between.
Since these are both ASUS products I don't think its too far of a leap to think they use the same parts where they can to cut costs, so this freezer method may be worth trying for you.

Check the plastic connected to the prongs. My first charge didnt work. Hard to notice but the plastic was kind of melted. Asuswont help withgetting a replacement and most usb chargers wont work. Igot a dynex ultimate charger dx-ua and it works great with 11 volts /1.5 amps.

We all know how brilliant a design the charge cord adapter is, I myself am on to my third one in almost two years. Well, the tablet stopped charging today and no matter which wall outlet I used or how much I wiggled the lead I could not make the light come on. Seeing that my Verizon contract is all but done at the end of this month and rather than buy another charge cord I decided to buy a new tab. I just picked up the new Asus Transformer Infinity, not too bad so far. Anyways, about 20 minutes after getting home with neither tablet charged to a useable level, the power goes out for a couple hours- just my luck too. When the power came back on suddenly the light on the Xoom came on. I hadn't touched it since I gave up on trying to get it to charge. Now here I am with two tablets and a $500 hole in my pocket. I know I was bound to get a new one eventually so I'm going to hang on to it but I never saw it happening like this.
Has anyone else had any issues regarding their chargers? Or anything unusual occur in general? I'm sure I'm not alone.
Ouch I would hate to folk out another $500 dollars for a new tablet even though my old one still works. I don't use my tablet for any intensive apps like games, so a new one would be pretty pointless for me. I never had any issues with my charger, well one time one of my charger did blow up, but that's because the battery was faulty for my jump charger for my car. Other than that, you might have some dust in the charger pin hole? Just a guess really.
I'm on my third charger since March. Original Motorola one died, second one (off eBay) burnt out, current one (off eBay) still working but I can't use the touchscreen while unit is charging.
I live remote using an off-grid power supply so this may have something to do with it.

Huh. I have four of them, from the original back in Feb '11 to one I was given a few months back, and they all work perfectly- and most of 'em are used every week (two at home, one in the office, one for travel).
agreed with kcrudup, ive been through 2, the only reason being i snapped the connector on the first one when i pulled it out at a bad angle
The charger that came with my refurbished Xoom lasted almost through the first charge. I thought I was going to have to send the whole thing back until I took it into the Verizon store and verified that it charged with a different charger. I've since got one off eBay and another with the standard dock. Both have been holding out so far.
Oh and my Xoom touch screen doesn't respond while charging either. Somewhere I read that a factory reset will fix that... but I'm waiting until my 90 day warantee is up to put EOS on it since my BT mouse works while it is charging.

My original charger is still working and I got my tablet 8 months back. I think the charger has lasted pretty well. How long did peoples original ones seem to last?

That's an electrical problem (noise and/or grounding issues with the charger raise the "noise floor" so the touchscreen controller has trouble determining what's a valid touch) and can't be cured by any reset, factory or full or ...
Your issue is your charger- try another.

Just a quick note.. I've had the ebay sourced chargers fail on my xoom ( and other devices). I found that the power ratings on some of them are rather optimistic... they simply are running at the outer limits to charge the tablet and failure can be internal to the power unit...best case.. or worst case failure dumps overvoltage or raw AC power to the tablet.
Fortunately my failed units were of the internal power supply version.. and aside from bad smells no real damage was done.
I have successfully built charger/power units after scavenging the connector from my failed power supplies and using a minimum 1.5 amp 12v dc supply... they seem to work fine.. and keeping one handy is much more convenient than wondering where I last used it :fingers-crossed:
as always.. your mileage may vary
Hmm, that's interesting. Unfortunately this charger is from Verizon and i would surely hope that their stuff work to the correct specs. I wonder sometimes that maybe the problem could be with the contact inside the tablet. Could that have something to so with it?

I think the Motorola/Verizon chargrs are good. I think the earthing issue is with the cheap chargers from China.
When I lost my cellphone charger I had to buy a Chinese one, well, when charging it looked like possessed by the Devil itself lol! The screen started acting strange and I wasn't able to control it... Then I found my original charger and the exorcism was complete lol^2! BTW, a guy on X10 mini pro community (one of the best developers I ever met - my favorite one ) lost a cellphone with a Chinese charger, so what can I say - be careful with it!

Hi, has anyone replaced their usb c charging port board?
I've searched some on Amazon but they are not OEM. I am wondering if the replacement will fast charge or not?
Right now my port is kinda loose and I have to position the cable a certain way for it to charge. And the slightest and smallest touch will knock the cable out. And it doesn't fast charge.

Yes, a few people have changed the daughterboard with complete success, however I remember one guy reported fast charging not working afterwards. Bottom line seems to be "beware" and shop carefully.... just like with batteries there are some faulty replacement parts out there. At this point it sounds like you don't really have a choice in the matter. No sense taking a chance damaging your phone (further) with a loose charging port.

I bought mine used, so within a month I bought myself a new charging daughter card and a replacement battery. I ended up buying two. The first didn't work for me, the second replacement I did a couple weeks later with the new battery. This time it worked better. I recommend you try to find an oem part or as close to it. For me the first part was slightly different than the original piece, but the second one I ordered looked identical to the original I took out. If you have not opened up the device yet, then watch some videos of tear downs and watch closely for the daughter card so you can compare against which one you order.

Where do you live in India and what was the charge for the repair?
I have the same issue. Although it doesn't seem to port is loose, just that the cable doesn't make a good connection. I have to wiggle it a bit to get it to connect & charge, but if it moves, it stops charging...

Iam from Karnataka, Mangaluru.
As my phone is in the warranty period and also the problem is not caused by water damage they replaced it for free
I contacted Gearbest, and all they could do was give me a small refund. As there are no Nokia service centres in Europe. And my phone is a Chinese version, with the international ROM, not the actual international version. Bloody brilliant. ?
yes the size of cable or the tip is not the exact size of the port thats why its loose
mine also is loose but charging is not disrupted
Planning to get this phone, but wondering if we can check whether the phone will have lose charging port or not. Is it Nokia's design flaw?

No bro I don't have any such problems in either of my two Nokia 6.1 plus.
In love with the device since December security patch!?

Tried many other charge cables instead of the original one, but it didn't help. The cable is loosing, but the charging mode works fine yet.
Nokia 6.1 charge port loose

My Nokia 6.1 had the same issue with it being only 4 months old. I Purchased it at GearBest.com as well. Chatted with them. Sending it back and possibly receiving a refurbished one back left a sour taste in my mouth. They refunded me a small amount. I checked with Nokia to see if they had a repair depot in the Vancouver, Canada area. There wasn't. I ended up breaking down and getting it repaired close to my home. $180 Cdn later it was fixed. The charging port was poorly soldered at the factory. A good resoldering fixed it. What a burn for repairs. I'm not impressed with Nokia's so-called warranty.
3 weeks have past since the repair, the problem is back. I brought it back to the techs that originally did the repair. They did more diagnostic on it and found it could be either a faulty charge port or some issue with the motherboard. I'm hoping it's the charging port.
this is very serious problem with nokia 6.1 plus, Cable comes with box is loose but its charging phone very well if we don't disturb it while charging. I guess its more with cable, as i tried oneplus 6 phone original box charging cable & its very tight, we can use phone while charging. Then also tried my old google pixel original box charging cable, & its too loose, sometimes it comes out automatically.
we need to try with different charging cables trial & identify which one is best suited. Its trial & hit method.
but I'm worried as over the period of time, phone charging port should not be deteriorated...
Mine has become a bit loose and I faced the problem of charging disconnected a couple of times. But afterwards it went back to normal. What's the time required to replace the charging part ?

I was thinking of getting it fixed. Gearbest only refunded me €30, cheap bastards. They also offered a refurbished replacement - if I sent the faulty one back at MY expense. Which, from Malta to China, was prohibitively expensive. Screw manufacturer's warranty, eh?
I own an OnePlus 5 that I have used for a couple of months with stock OOS and locked bootloader and unrooted. I have always used an original dash charger and cable. However, few days ago the phone became unresponsive to the charger and after the battery died. When I reconnect the charger now, it gives a message that device temperature too low, can not charge and when I turn it on the battery shows 50% charge when I remove the charger it turns off after a short while. The phone didn't suffer any drop or water damage or any other kind of accident. The phone is not under warranty so, I need to find a way to charge the phone. I have searched for the problem on many forums and some point out to a faulty temperature sensor on the battery and others point to the daughter charging board while some say there's an issue with the motherboard. Is there anyone who could troubleshoot the problem precisely.
Or, Is there a way, to flash a custom kernel which could turn off the temperature sensor on the battery, if it's there.
Also, needed to know that will the problem go away after a battery replacement?
I have wiped cache and data, downgraded the phone from Pie to Oreo and nothing seemed to work. Some people suggested putting it to rest for 24 hours, I also did that, but to no avail.

Are you sure that the temperature sensor is located on the battery or inside the battery? Because, if I buy a new battery that would mean I can not get it replaced if the issue is not with the battery.
I have to order it online as the battery is not available in the local market.

Sorry for being overly cautious about the issue. I have searched some forums where people couldn't get the issue resolved even after changing the battery.
Still, I am thankful regarding your input and replies.
But is there, a custom kernel available where the battery sensor could be bypassed for the cell to charge?
Before buying anything or opening the phone yourself contact OnePlus. If the phone is under warranty probably they will take care of it. (even if, many times, the battery doesn't have the same warranty as the rest of the phone)

Dear the problem is that the phone is not covered under any warranty. I purchased it locally from a shop that doesn't provide warranty for any phone. I live in Pakistan, I tried contacting OnePlus but seems like they don't have any official stores in Pakistan. I guess, there's a service centre with whom they have partnership for services.
I guess, I have to contact them.

Hi, just curious about the update on this one? I've also encountered the same issue on my OP5 and still waiting for the battery replacement I ordered hoping that it is a faulty battery.
I didn't have the low temperature issue but my charging port did start to fail so I replaced it and the battery last month. The hardest part is getting the back off. The screen snaps in much tighter than most phones I've worked on which were glued shut.
I got my parts from E-Trade supply but I never will again. The charging port I got for an iPhone 6 I'm repairing was defective and they would only credit the part and not the $22 in shipping I paid them. They eventually did, but only because I bought several items over the past few years and I started putting up bad reviews on them. Never again.
The parts for the OnePlus 5 were okay although the brand new battery is only at 91% health. The original 16 month old one was 83% still a gain.
Hey brother, did the battery replacement fix the issue?? I have been having the same problem since today morning.
[Update] Was able to bring my OP5 to a local tech who is trusted to fix OnePlus devices but unfortunately the problem on my phone is with the motherboard. Tech already tried replacing the battery as well as the charging port to no avail, so I may have to stick with my OnePlus 5 permanently connected to a power source while I wait for the upgrade(OnePlus 7) to be released.
The same thing with me, I trying now to fix this, but... I can,t
Mobo issue
After almost a month with the local tech, he was able to order a spare part for the issue with my OP5 motherboard. Fingers crossed hoping that it will be fixed within this week, it already cost me $100 :crying: I'll update on which part needs to be replaced if the issue is with the motherboard itself.

[UPDATE] A Battery replacement by OnePlus solved my problem. It also fixed certain other issues I was having like 3hr SOT, random shutdowns before reaching 0% etc. Cost me ₹1600 (around $22.5)

Good luck. I hope your issue gets fixed soon
Man I paid about the same for the battery and replaced it myself. But at least I didn't have to send it away. Unfortunately my only other phone (HTC one M8) doesn't work on my carrier.
[Update] My OP5's alive and kicking again. It cost me $40 for the board to be fixed, $60 for the front glass replacement.
Here's the pic of what was replaced on the motherboard
Sad to hear this is still going on with OnePlus phones. I had this problem with my 3T. Replaced everything, except the motherboard. I'm figuring it's that, but at this point I don't care. A replacement is anywhere from $80 to $150. You could buy a new 3T outright for that price.
