I replaced the battery on my 2014 but now I'm getting a red x when I plug it into the supplied Samsung charger. It is getting a charge but I would say it's a trickle. I had it plugged in overnight and it went from 50% to 90% in 7 hours.
Thinking it's the replacement battery I put in the original one but have the same results.

Any ideas if something might have been damaged during the replacement?

No matter what I do I cannot get my tablet to do more than a trickle charge. I've replaced the charging port flex cable and that doesn't change having the red x in the battery icon and taking forever to charge.

NO EXPERT here when it comes to this. I just replaced mine.. got it off Ebay cheap.. so thought I would stick it in. Works great.

If it was ME.. I would go back and unplug and replug it back in..

Yeah I unplugged it, put the original battery in, replaced the cable. I'm thinking something must have gotten damaged on the main board. It works but takes forever to charge and I can't connect to my computer so it could be worse.
