Can i charge my nexus with a pantech charger

you really cant change the battery but if you feel brave you can try to open the nexus up
HOWTO Remove and Replace Nexus 7 Battery

just google it many wideos on it.

The light not working suggests a cheap horrible charger. Is this the one that came with the nexus? LED's usually outlive people, so the circuit may be of poor quality. I would change it just to be safe. Make sure you only charge it when you are there.

Kind Regards, Dan.

Pop the back cover off. It's real easy - you can use a credit card or even your fingernails. Carefully prise all around the edges. It'll come off quite easily. Looking from the rear with USB port at the bottom, you'll see the left side if the unit is occupied by a large rectangular battery. At the top right of the battery is a connector with six wires. Gently disconnect the connector from the main board. Leave disconnected for about 30-60 seconds and then plug it back in.

Put the back cover back on, and then plug in the charger.

You Nexus will charge fine.

Hello,
I am very familiar with this problem with the 2nd gens and it is almost always a sure sign that the tablet is not getting enough power to charge up and will not boot. Sometimes this can happen from the tablet not getting used for a while and getting completely drained. The other possibilities are A) the USB charging port is becoming worn out and won't charge or B) the battery is no longer holding a charge, much like a car battery in the winter. Get an original Nexus 7 wall charger and leave it charging through the wall outlet and not a computer, this has more power. If the light is blinking, it makes me think the USB is not the issue, so chances are after an hour or two it will have some life again.

Press and hold Volume Down, and then press and hold Power simultaneously until the device turns on.

Hope that helps!

I've got one also, so that's a worry. You mean you have tried all this stuff?

It seems to be a common problem

You could try to do a hard reset. Press and hold the power button and the volume up button simultaneously for 10-30 seconds and see if the device will then turn on.

Hope that helps!

Sorry to hear/read this.
First, try get a new charger and plug your Google nexus 7. Suspect a dead battery with no charge left on it.

Otherwise, confirm your charger isn't just lighting up whereas it isn't delivering any charge current to your device.

Next to try if your ac charger is confirmed good is to attempt replacing the battery; at the store, have them insert a compatible/similar battery and then try power on your device.

NOTE:
New batteries at the point of purchase have some charge on them; sufficient to power on your device.

Device not power on, DON'T PURCHASE NEW BATTERY. Obviously, you don't have a power/battery problem.

Device power on, then you either have a battery that has failed or that your device's charging port needs to be serviced or repaired.

Please post update/feedback asap. Thanks
