Default not charging

ok, anyone else had charging issues? re-assembled the charger, checked connections but neither dock or prime are charging. as neither are showing charging i am REALLY hoping its the cable or wall charger but nice to hear from others if they had any problems

cheers

Chances are, it is the AC adapter charger. I had a similar problem with my original TF101. A new charger fixed the problem. Mine was having connection issues from the plate that allowed universal plugs.

has the same problem. definitely the wall charger as it would trickle charge with any other. read somewhere about plugging in a normal phone into the asus charger until that started charging, then plugging in the prime. I did that to get it working. probably not a good long term solution, but the second charger I ordered isn't here yet.
Non serviam.

actually , guessing it must be the charger as the prime has been charging off the dock ok until just this minute when it has finally depleted it. fingers crossed i can get a new one tomorrow
