My zeepad 4.2 7" android tablet stopped working! Whenever I try to charge it won't charge, it just gets hot at the charging port and on the head of the plug on the adapter. Now it won't turn on at all
The tablet was working fine like 3 hours before it stopped. I used it for about an 1/2 hour, it started to lose power so I charged it for about 3 hours. I took it of the charger to use it and it would not come on. the tablet was real hot at the charging port and stayed hot for about an hour. Now it will not turn back on and whenever I plug in the charger it now longer charges, it just get hot at the charging port. What can I do to fix this???

You cannot use a computer USB port to charge a tablet, unlike charging a smartphone. You will have to use the supplied charger. If you really want to use the USB port to charge your Zeepad, you will need to custom-built a cable using any extra USB cable you can spare. Just change the connector at the remote end of the cable to one that suits your Zeepad's 5V DC IN socket. You are forwarned the connector is not easy to find.
Hi, Zeepads have an issue with powering on....when charging it is best to use the mains charging as it is more powerful....if you are sure they have been fully charged then try this:
Hold the power button down for about 2-3 minutes.
Listen for a small click.
Take finger off of power button and wait for about 30 seconds.
Hit the power button again.
Hopefully you should see the start up screen, post back with the results!
Check the battery is charged - it may be duff and nee replaced if it is not charging or your power adaptor may not be charging it - check it with a multimeter - the power socket on laptops andf tablets are very susceptible to damage - if that fails then plug it into a pc using the usb port - it will charge very slowly as usb only has a very low charge current but be patient and if it charges up after 12 hours using the usb method you will know one way or another whether its the battery or the power socket or charger.
