Why does innotab charging light blink when charging and will not charge?

try usiing just the charger without the rechargeable batts...if toy turns on with just that then prob maybe eiither the toy itself or you need new rechargeable batts

Use a paperclip to short the two terminals in the usb output Jack. The two at the opposite sides of the jack. I have to do it before almost every charge.

You may have to get it fixed. The same thing happened to me before. And I got it fixed.

Blinking white simply means the tablet is communicating with the internet, checking mail, updating news, weather, etc.

Try to run the tablet down to the 2% warning, then plug it in and charge till it is full.

How do you know the battery is good? does the multimeter really read more than the battery should give, according to what is printed on it?
A 3,7 volt battery, should give at least 3,8, wham not connected. A 7,2 at least 7,4. Because the printed voltage should be on the connector, when you are discharging the battery.

When your charger is blinking, it could indicate the battery is not well. The Ri can be to high or something else, is wrong, and that is ht the charger won't or can't charge.

If it's flashing all lights fast at same time....don't worry. My mophie juicepack powestation does this all the time and refuses to take any charge. I bend a paperclip into a u shape and short the pins in the usb output Jack for not even a second. Quick touch is all that is needed. NO LONGER OR RISK DAMAGE OR FIRE. Resets the chip inside. Charges fine then.

I had a similar situation with my pipo s1. After further investigation I found that the jack the charger cord plugs into went bad. My charge light wouldn't stay on unless you held the charger plug in a particular position. The jack is hardwired into one of the circuit boards and to replace the circuit board was half the cost of the whole tablet. I junked it and bought a kindle fire. Better quality and longer lasting battery.

this happened to me, it needs charging, make sure the blackberry symbol on the lead is facing up, putting it in upside down moves the little tab inside the housing stopping you from charging properly, if it is a bit loose realign the tab with a thin nail file carefully just a touch then push the lead in symbol side up and switch on give it time it should charge..

Error codes are only of use by the Toshiba Technical staff and of no use to you as the consumer.

If you report that to the Toshiba Technical personnel, they can transcribe the error number for you.

If a blinking light comes on when charging, sometimes it indicates No Charge or the power cell inside the computer is not accepting a charge and will not function. You might replace the power battery if it has been in there for several years. They do tend to die after a while. As for the computer, it should operated without the battery. If it fails to boot when the power adapter is plugged in, then one of two issues are common. 1, the power adapter is faulty and needs replacement. 2. the computers CPU may be damaged by a power surge and that is bad news.
