Charging hp touchpad

I have my Touch pad for about 2 years. Never had a problem charging it. Today when I tried to charge a picture of a battery with a question mark inside came on the screen. Any ideas

Hi mapmodifier-123.
I found the support page for your touchpad and have included a link to the homepage for your reference. According the Solutions section, your touchpad may not be charging because of the USB cable:
You can connect your device to a computer using the USB cable. However, your device will charge at a very reduced rate, and if you are using your device, your device will likely be discharging because a USB port cannot supply enough power to charge a TouchPad. To charge your TouchPad, you must use the AC charger or the TouchStone (sold separately).
I hope this helps.

  • Charging the Touchpad in Europe.

    I've been living in Germany since Jan and have been using a 220V-110V transformer to plug my  charger in to. Is that necessary or can I just use a plug adapter and plug directly in to a 220V wall socket. From looking at the writing on the plug, I suspect I can, but want to verify.
    I don't want to fry my Tablet.
    Thanks!

    Yes. You will need the prongs for Germany AC outlets. I tried to search the HP Germany website and tried to find the prongs but my German is not up to par. I can understand some of the words but gave up the search due to my limited undrstanding of the language.
    I even searched on the HP U.S. page but could not find the plugs. This may be due to it being the U.S. page and only has U.S based accessories.

    Hi
    There are some threads in this forum where some users reported a similar issue.
    As far as I know the problem was a AC adaptor malfunction.
    Using new, compatible AC adaptor has solved the issue.
    Good luck!

  • Will HP Touchpad Touchstone dock charge a Palm Pre phone?

    I have multiple HP Touchpads (with Android) and HP Touchstone docks.  I also have a Samsung Galaxy S 3 phone.  There are new backs for the phone that enable inductive charging like the HP products.  I'm interested in finding out if people have been able to charge their Palm phones on the tablet Touchstone dock (I see lots of questions the other way - wanting to use the phone dock to charge the Touchpad - with the answer NO).  If this works, then one option for me is to buy a Palm phone back cover, strip the coil, and put it in the Samsung Galaxy S3 (others have done this).  Then, use the tablet Touchstone dock to charge it.
    Or, I can buy the new back cover that enables inductive charging, and plop it on the tablet Touchstone dock.
    Looking for any info that anyone has.  Thanks!

    I just tried my Pre3 on the touchpad touchstone, and nothing happened.
    Multiple positions and orientation yielded nothing.

  • HP Touchpad - Battery will not charge

    Hello, I have had my touchpad for four days and now today have ran into charging problems.  Earlier today it would start charging then stop then start again.  Now it will not charge at all.  I plug the charge that came with it in, and it just doesn't start charging.  I have tried multiple outlets and restarted the device with no success. 
    I would appreciate some assistance.

    The barrel charger (that plugs into the power outlet) has a screw-off end (so that can use various other plugs).  Make sure this is screwed on tightly (I'd recommend even un-screwing it and then putting it back together).  Then try charging again. 
    If its showing the same issue, it may be a faulty charger or TouchPad.  Definitely agree at that point to call the Butler service.

  • Stratosphere touchpad issues while on charger

    I purchased the Stratosphere a few  weeks ago. Aside from a rather muffled call quality, the real issue I had was when the phone was charging, the touchpad failed to function. I kept having to unplug the charger to work it. I exchanged the phone this week for a new model. SAME PROBLEM!!! HELP!

        Hello Paw4haven,  Help has arrived!  I want to make sure your phone is ready when you need to use it!  Does this happen every time your phone is on the charger or just randomly?  Have you had the opportunity to try a different charger with the device?  Please keep me updated on the current status!

  • How to fix hp touchpad: blacked out screen that does not turn on.

    I had the same problem but I way able to fix it myself. In fact I am blogging here now w my fixed hp touchpad now!!
    I don't know much about electronic but I do know that our touchpad is stuck in some mode and is lost and needs rebooting. However our touchpad lacks power maybe because of low battery last time we used it?...I don't know..but here is what I came up with. For those of you who had used external drive will know what I am talking about but the concept is same. Here is what u need. Desktop computer or laptop computer. U need to find out which of the USB port gives the most strongest power. (Often left side of desktop backside port, laptop on the side w less number of USB ports).
    1. Plug in ur touchpad to pc. Ur pc will recognize ur touchpad as USB and will want to install something. Let it do so.
    2.After when that's done reboot ur over WITH TOUCHPAD STILL LINKED to pc. As the over reboot push the cetner button w power button at same time as ur pc reboot. Than u will see an USB logo on ur touchpad.
    3. Ur touchpad now is in power! Unplug it from pc and get a wall charger and charge it while u do the next step.
    4. hold the volume up button w power button at same time. U should see a blue screen for less than one second. Than an hp log. Ur.now in safe mode. U don't enter to mess anything up so turn it off by using the power button once again.
    5. Finally turn it back on and give urself a treat. U have just solved ur problem!
    hope this helped. If not shoot me an email and I will fill u in w more detail or something...
    Or comments below could help too. Positive feedbacks I hope ;-)

    Glad your solution worked for you, but to properly charge a TouchPad, you need to use the charger that was included with the device!
    Many "black screens" have been caused by HP shipping defective micro USB cables with the device - I received one myself with a brand-new unit, and it failed to provide a charge.
    Just about all USB ports cannot provide enough mA to fully charge it.  USB ports are usually limited to 500mA, while the charger outputs 2,000mA.

  • Touchpad on 8440w not working

    I have a 8440w elitebook and sometimes when I plug in the charger the touchpad will stop working. The mouse will move slightly if anything when using the touchpad. after that it will not work even if you unplug it. You have to restart it to gwt it to work again. any ideas?

    Hi,
    Try using Recovery Manager to reinstall your original Touchpad driver ( probably Synaptics ) - the procedure for using recovery manager to reinstall Software and Drivers is detailed in the relevant document on the link below.
    Recovery Manager - Windows 8.
    Recovery Manager - Windows 7
    After the reinstallation has completed, restart the notebook.

  • Connected Touchpad to Work Computer now I get "Network Login Message" No internet Connection

    I tried charging my Touchpad on my work computer the USB icon showed up on TP.  After charging, I could no longer access the internet.  I'm constantly getting Network Login required, No internet connection.
    I have no problems using at home or at various hot spots, but at work, no matter what I do I get the same message.  I've tried to power off/on router.. didn't work.  Rebooting my TP.. didn't work.  Changing Chanels on Router.. didn't work.  I don't know if a factory reset is needed or the doctor fix is needed.  I read just about every post on this form, but I 'm a novice and am having difficulty turning the tech talk into layman's terms. 
    Additionaly, I would like to know how to make my TP more useful with regard to using on the Android market, but I don't want to brick the unit.  I purchased in 2011 to use at work and can't use it due to the problems listed. 

    I'm not sure what the fix is for the network issue at work.  Does the TP even recognize the network at your office?  You could try a full erase reset as a less-drastic step than doctoring.
    As for Android on your TP, it is not officially supported here, but I can tell you that it's the bomb.  I have CM9 on one TP, and CM10 on another.  They both work great, very stable.  Suggest you check out CM9 here, and and CM10 here.  Beyond that, it's pretty much self-help on installation.  Of course, it is also at your own risk.

  • Charging Playbook with 2.4A Apple charger - no way...

    Hi,
    My playbook (16GB, WLAN-model, running latest 2.1-SW) came with the Playbook stock charger that works OK so far.
    Since I'm taking my Playbook to the office every day I want to be able to charge it at the office; with charging I mean *real* charging not just the standard USB "trickle charge" at 500mA.
    So I went out to buy me a high-power USB-charger and finally got me a 12W Apple charger since this privides 2.4A output, more than enough to charge the Playbook requiring 2.1A peak.
    However when I use this charger to charge the playbook it basically does nothing (no bolt on the display to indicate charging) - tried different USB cables, re-seating the plug, disconnecting/reconnecting cables - no way.
    I also tried to used it for charging my Bold9900; I only get a notice here saying that the power source doesn't provide enough power.
    Finally I hooked up the charger to my Z10 - it charged without problems so far.
    So my questions are:
    Has the Playbook any special pinout when it comes to charging signalling to the charger it's ready for "more juice"?
    Shouldn't a charger being capable of running at 2.4A deliver 2.A peak to any device?
    Is there any special "signalling" when it comes to USB-charging between charger and device to be charged where they agree on the charging current - defaulting to 500mA probably?
    Any other ideas as to why I can't charge my playbook with this charger?
    BTW, the Apple charger seems to be OK so far since I's able to charge other devices.
    Thanks much in advance for any clue.
    Solved!

    You can Google this as its been a while since I've had this discussion but I do know that Apple's hardware is wired differently than the PlayBook (and HP Touchpad and most other Android tablets). You would have to short out two wires in the cable itself to allow full currect transfer from any iDevice charger or cable to work with non Apple products. YouTube has videos on this if you don't believe me. Anyhow this was a real problem for car chargers and is how I know about this topic. Long story short, don't buy Apple specific chargers and expect them to work on the PlayBook.
    One useful tip is to go to ebay and look up the HP Touchpad's barrel charger. They are 2.1A and will charge the PlayBook and other non Apple tablets just fine. I have used mine for over a year with the PlayBook without issue. It will also charge your cell phones at rapid speed too. They are cheap, portable, can interchange plugin heads with those of other countries (UK plugs for example) and come apart with a standard micro usb cord at the plug itself to minimize stress on the PlayBook's fragile microUSB port. You can find them for less than $10. I've seen them for $5 before.

  • Micro USB charging current

    Hi I have a Nokia E52, which has micro USB charger, I just got an HP TouchPad which also has micro USB charger, but TouchPad charger is rated at 2A output, my Nokia AC-10X is rated at 1200mA output.
    Is it safe to plug my E52 into the TouchPad charger?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    If I understand correctly, you're looking to carry just one AC charger instead of two?  The amperage (current) isn't what's important, but the voltage.  My E73 charger is rated at 5V and 1200 mA, and may be the same as yours.  If your HP charger also puts out 5V, then it can't do any harm.  Your E52 will draw just the 1200 mA it needs and no more.  (You can confirm this if you've ever seen a universal charger.  These offer a switchable voltage setting, but never a switchable amperage.  They would have sufficient amperage output for most small electronics, and again, the device draws only what it needs.)
    But the above doesn't mean it will work with your E52.  Dell laptop chargers, for example, include a custom chip that has yet to be duplicated by makers of universal laptop chargers.  This prevents third party chargers from charging Dell laptop batteries...and is one of the reasons I recommend that people don't buy from Dell.   So screwy things can still happen.
    But I see no harm in trying.  Good luck!

  • After 3.0.4 update, touchstone doesn't charge TP in 3rd party case.

    Hello,
    There are a number of users experiencing this. After 3.0.4 update, the TouchPad doesn't charge in teh touchstone while it is in a third party case. Wasn't an issue before under 3.0.2. 
    Before the distance from teh toushctone surface tolerance was between 10-15mm. Meaning, one could put the TP with case cover folded back and it would still charge. Now the distance tolerance is about 7mm in order to engage tolerance. Some leather cases are thicker than that and therefore cannot charge the TouchPad while in their case.
    I suspect that 3.0.4 update lowered the sensitivity or voltage level of the inductor in the Touchpad so as to improve the accuracy compass sensor.
    I wish HP would add a simple app to allow the user to manually adjust the sensitivity of the inductor to accomodate a range of cases and scenarios. Some of use could not care about the compass sensor's accuracy as it's not used.
    Please fix this or add a way for the user to manually adjust the inductor sensor's tolerance range.

    Post relates to: HP TouchPad (WiFi)

    Was just going to post this and seen others experiencing it too. Before the patch could charge my TouchPad in the Targus Truss in portrait mode only - now it flat out refuses to acknowledge the TouchStone even exists while in the case.
    Seems even one layer of thickness in the case is enough to stop the TouchStone from charging. Quite annoying as I rather not keep swapping it in & out of the case just to charge it. Only bought the TouchStone because it would charge with a case on.
    I have cats, and the case is needed. With the flap open it keeps the occasional tail drag from tipping the TouchPad over. Now am worried.
    If HP made a decent charging cable, one that would not wiggle up and down to allow adequate charging then I could just use the cable and the USB cord.

  • Touchpad not responding. Cannot shutdown since I can't swipe to turn off. It also won't charge. Help!

    iPhone 5s Stopped responding right after I finished a call. Touchpad doesn't respond and I cant shut down since I can't swipe to turn off. I updated to latest OS 8.1.3 a few days ago but it worked fine until now. I tried charging but it isn't responding to that either.

    Thanks. I forgot to hold them longer. Is this because of the software update?
    it still doesn't show that it is charging though. I Hope that fixes itself. Now my IPad is acting up. I think I'll reset that too!

  • MacBook Pro Retina - Keyboard and Touchpad Unresponsive While Charging

    Hi all,
    I am having some trouble with my early 2014 15" Retina MacBook Pro.
    Sometimes when attempting to charge my laptop, if I have been out and about, I can only have the charger plugged in for 30 seconds maximum upon booting up the machine, before the touchpad and keyboard become unresponsive.
    The fans normally whirl loudly and then I lose both the touchpad and keyboard, to the extent that my MacBook attempts to search for a bluetooth keyboard as it can not detect one connected.
    This has only happened twice but its becoming a major annoyance and a big concern on such a high value item.
    Has anyone had any experience of this type of behaviour?
    Thanks,
    Kevin
