[Q] HD+ doesn't charge when turned off?

[gandalf_grey91]

Just bought an HD+ and it only seems to charge if it is turned on, is that right? After plugging in the charger while turned off, it doesn't get hot and the charging light doesn't come on.That seems a little strange.

You are absolutely right. This device not charging when powered off. Seems it designed this way. This is one blot on Nook HD+.

You don't really need to charge with the device off though

Hmm, for me this very strange opinion.
I have 12 items (HD+) on work for customers. Every evening we place these to charge. Why then these items must be working for charging.
Actually i charge my own SG Tab 10.1 all time on OFF situation. Mobile items (tabs, e-readers and etc) have constructed work without some overhanging wire.

Back on topic, am I to assume that everybody else who owns an HD+ has observed the same behaviour? That it doesn't charge while turned off?

This has been true for all the Nooks. If it is off when you first plug it in, it should turn on. Then don't turn it off or it won't charge.
