[Q] Blinking Orange light on Keyboard dock while charging

---

Howdy, I'm having trouble charging my tf300t. All I'm getting is a blinking orange LED by where you plug in the 40-pin, and it's not noticeably charging, if at all. At the moment, my dock's battery is at 0%, and the pad's is at 68%, and it won't charge even when plugged directly into the charger. The cable is another separate one I bought off amazon, works fine, and the charger is good. I'm updated to the latest firmware, .29, rooted, and have the custom build.prop in. I've tried a variation of things, restarting, temp un-root, restoring the original build.prop, and just about everything I can think of. Please help? And if y'all don't know, at least we can try figuring out the blinking light.

I saw this blinking light too last night when my dock had 0% charge. I just reseated the connector and it worked fine afterwards.

Thanks

Thank you sir, it also seems like my cable was bad, I got another, and it charged fine.

Good to hear you fixed it! I'm guessing the blinking light means the tablet has a charging connection, but isn't receiving a current?

Ive seen a lot problems with cables charger....is it that asus is not doing a great job or u guys dont take care of stuff ???

im getting the blinking light now as i type. How is the battery on your dock?It's quite awful on mine, wet from full charge to about 0 in about an hour or two and only charged the dock like 13%. Any tips or is this the norm?

Hi guys, i drained my tablet and dock and when i charged both simultaneously only the tablet was charging and dock remained at 0 while its led is blinking, all keys are functioning properly, i tried reconnecting usb but still dock is not charging. Any advice?

THANKS!

I'm pretty sure it's only blinking because it's below 10% or whatever the low battery setting is. I'm also pretty sure the charging function sends all of the charge to the tablet until it reaches a certain level, maybe even fully charged. Therefore, the dock doesn't even start charging until after the tablet is done, so the light will continue to blink until it's charged enough. When I plug mine in with the dock dead, the dock flashes and the tablet is a steady orange light. Once the tablet is charged its light turns green and then the dock stops flashing and completes charging.

My tablet was already 100% and I even let the dock charging alone for few hours and still 0%. All keys are functioning properly, I even try a cold boot but it doesnt solve the problem.
