Last night the power adapter died. The extension cord it was plugged into was very hot where the adaptor was plugged in. Maybe the cord killed the adaptor.
Asnd the micro USB port has gotten worse.
I have many micro USB chargers and cables designed for phones but none of them except a very light weight one are not working on the TPT.
I have it charging now 6 hours and not yet 70 %.
One of my chargers accepts a USB - micro cable but the TPT cable is also not working nor any other cables either.
Is this the death of the USB port I've been reading about?
Is the USB micro standard off the shelf or Lenovo special?
Waiting for IBM Israel to get back to me.
Thanks for any help you can give.

most of phone charger is 1A
Thinkpad charger is 2A, so it's normal that charging Thinkpad with phone charger is very slow !
Bad IBM service
After 12 days I have my TPT back BUT!!!!
New motherboard and the micro USB fits good.
BUT!!!
The did not (check) or replace the AC power supply or USB cable as I asked them to do.
Trickle charging with 1 Amp phone charger.
Also the motherboard comes back with:
Serial # 000000
Model: 00000

Buy a new charger
If you can do without the TPT for a couple hours the 1a with the device turned off charges pretty well, I also dug up an old iphone 1st gen charger and its 1.5 amp, i had like 3 of them around the house was a happy little surprise as I have already lost my lenovo charger
I tested with a Sony Ericsson cord and Lenovo's power adapter, but the TPT wouldn't charge. Certainly, it doesn't charge either with Sony Ericsson power adapter and Lenovo's cord. It must be end2end Lenovo.
Would it charge faster if I configure USB to "only charging"?
if you are using a wall plug-in charger, the usb menu should not come up that only comes up for pc link. the cable does not matter on mine, im using an apple charger and a Motorola cable from my photon and it work albeit slow, the best thing to do is completely turn the tablet off, its not going to charge too well if you are using it while trying to charge and the adapter only pushes an amp out.
Sad, you can't peruse any thinkpad tablet forums without hearing about defective usb ports.
Hey guys just wondering what the speeds/battery would be like if I used a ssd and a otg cable any one tried it yet?
Also, I'm not thinking about stripping a otg cable down to see the power cables' slice'ing them and putting a USB on them the red and black to power the USB drive, and the data cables still in tact so then I could plug the power source in to to say a USB charger at 3v to power let's say a external HD and the otg cable into the HD '
So there would be 2usbs from the otg cable one conexcted to the red and black and the rest
Left as it is to send the data' would this be possible?
Thanks amatris.
The wall adapter that came with the phone is listed at 2A. I can charge my phone there fine. It also charges on my computer (albeit slowly), through a 1A car inverter.
However, a while back I had also purchased replacement wall outlets, rated at 2A: http://www.lowes.com/pd_437535-334-...7745w&pl=1¤tURL=?Ntt=tr7745w&facetInfo=
My previous S3 charges fine off of it - but my S4 never goes into the "charging mode". I've tried using the USB cable that came with the S4 (that charges fine on computer and the Samsung wall plug), as well as a 3rd party cable that I was using on the S3.
Any ideas why it won't charge on the Cooper wall outlet?
Thanks
So its been a while since my s4 i9500 wall charger's cable been cut. Although the phone does get charged up. It isnt charging up quickly as it used to before the wire was cut. Sometimes the phone doesnt even charge even thought the battery icon shows that it is charging.
Now, I have been thinking of replacing the charger. But do i have to buy the charger or should i just replace the cables? I have a lot of micro usb cables . Can i use them with the adapter to charge up my phone?
You can use quite literally any micro-usb 2.0 cable and any usb charger to charge it; however, to achieve the maxium charging speed (1900mah) you will need a high quality shielded micro-usb cable (like the stock Samsung cable) and a 2A (or higher) usb charger (like the stock Samsung charger or an iPad charger).
I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 SGH-M919N running Android 4.4.4.
For the last 3 or 4 days, the phone is been charging in USB Charge even if it's plugged into a wall or car charger. I tried different wall and car chargers and different microUSB wires. All with the same results. Could it be the battery, the microUSB port or a software adjustment?
Thanks for your help!
