My Acer A500 tablet does not charge when it is switched off It charges normally as soon as I switch it on It is within warranty Should Igive the tablet for servicing or is there any alternative ? Thanks for advising
Was looking over a few post the forum about this problem. From what I read this is a rare but known problem when the battery gets low. So go ahead and call Acer support for warranty work.
By OFF, I assume you mean holding the power button down till it asks if it should shutdown? If so, then that is by design. The tablet should reboot to a charge mode when its plugged in while it is off, but if it was already plugged in and you power it off it may not go to charge state. The solution, of course, is not to power it off. Just let it sleep, and put it on the charger. These devices were intended as "always on" devices. They were not designed to be turned off all the time.
