    Charger for Tab A7 (2016)

    Hi fellas.
    I purchased this tablet but didn't get charger for it.
    They sold me this no name charger (specs on the pic below)
    But I have the one for S7 edge which is made by Samsung.
    Can I use that one (pic below)?
    The difference is that this one is 2A rated.

    Hi. The TAB A7 features a USB Type C connector.

    The Samsung S7 is with the Micro USB connector (not Type C).

    Did you also purchase a cable with the Type C connector? If not, the adapter cannot be used as it will not fit inside the TAB connector.

    Please confirm the details of the 2A adapter and post the usb connector pics.

      It's the 2016 edition which uses micro USB.

        Tab A7 is with the Micro USB connector?

        Then any usb adapter with micro usb will charge the tablet. Just note that lower current adapters or even pc ports (500ma max if usb 2.0) will work to charge the tablet but will take longer than higher current sources.

        Found this information on the 2016 A7 review:

        The included 5-watt charger (5 V, 1 A) fully recharges the tablet's depleted battery in approximately 4 hours when the device is on. This process cannot be accelerated with a stronger power supply: In the test, the battery was not ready for use any sooner even with a 10-watt charger. The tablet is only charged in a turned off state when connected to a conventional USB port, such as installed in laptops.

          Oh okay.But my none OEM is 1.5 A and 5V.
          Can I use that one since the current is higher?

              ASUS X54H laptop thinks it's always charging even with charger unplugged
              by flat-earther
              The charging indicator light on my ASUS X54H laptop is always on even when the charger is disconnected.

              Windows also shows ''Plugged in'' when charger is not connected.

              This problem started year ago gradually, when unplugging the charger the charging light took several seconds to disappear, then minutes, and now almost always on even when unplugged for an entire day.
              Strangely, before sometimes immediately when plugging in the charger the charging light went away, and later came back with it connected.
              If I let battery run out and say it has 3% Windows will...

              No LCD image after connector replacement – lifted components and damaged resistor (Nintendo Switch Lite HDH-CPU-02)
              by Tomylee
              Hi everyone,

              Sorry for the person who’s going to read all this !
              I'm on a Nintendo Switch Lite, motherboard HDH-CPU-02.

              While replacing the left joystick, I had to remove the motherboard to access the connector underneath. When I lifted the LCD connector latch, it broke (the plastic had become brittle over time), so I replaced the entire connector.

              During the desoldering of the LCD connector using hot air, three small components located just below the connector (likely 0402 capacitors) came off and remained stuck to the bottom of the...

              Lenovo T460 Only Charges on One Charger
              by motormayhem
              Laptop Question
              Hello,
              I'm working on a Lenovo T460 that has been having trouble charging as of late. Its worked well since I've owned it for a few years. When I went to use it the other day it was dead and wouldn't turn on (was sitting on an Anker 65W GaN charger). After some fiddling with the charger I got it to turn on and start charging, but seemed like the charger was not working as it should (took a few plug and unplug cycles to get it to start charging).

              A day later it was dead again and wouldn't boot/charge no matter what I did. No lights or anything when...

              ISL88739AHRZ ISL88739 Laptop Battery Charger Datasheet
              by Document Archive
              The ISL88739 & ISL88739AHRZ are a highly versatile combo battery charger
              configurable for operating as either a Hybrid Power Boost (HPB)
              charger or a Narrow VDC (NVDC) charger, supporting 2-, 3-, or
              4-cell batteries. Both configurations allow the battery to work with
              the adapter together to supply the system load when it exceeds
              the adapter capability, referred to as system Turbo mode. HPB
              charger configuration reverse-boosts battery energy to the system
              bus to help the adapter provide the system power in Turbo mode.
              NVDC charger configuration...

              Dell Inspiron 7567 LA-D993P odd charger issue
              by Johndill
              Hi, I have a Dell Inspiron 7567 LA-D993P that I've just got running.
              There was corrosion around PU1503 which shorted PC1518 & blew PL1504. (Reference pictures attached)
              I've replaced PC1518 & PL1504 & the laptop is now running however I now have another issue.

              Here are the tested scenarios:

              1. With the laptop running on battery, I plug in the 150W charger & the charger shuts off (no LED, protection mode) but the laptop remains running on battery.

              2. With the laptop off, plug in charger (LED says on) & the front charging...
