Teclast x98 plus not charging

[StormChild]

The X98 Plus is kinda picky with the chargers – I had similar problem like you until I found the Raspberry Pi 3’s 2.5A 5.1V charger provides the needed power: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2RBizCCBOA

I haven’t succeeded with my Note 4’s charger (it charged, but very slowly), my Nexus 7 2012’s charger (didn’t work), the X98’s original charger with a longer or shorter USB cable (the latter at least charged), a noname Chinese 2.5A charger…

I’ve ordered 3 more RPI3 power supplies to have a few spare. :)) Because I want to have one at home, one at work… At least I can use my tablet while charging.

Have a nice day, y'all!

Hello Sed. I don’t have a solution for your problem. But it’s a shame that the new device you received did not work. Did you consider maybe returning it to the company for faulty hardware, charger etc…..?

We’re still in dispute…i didn’t agree with the seller’s solution..i don’t want to loose 40 usd for shipping it back..it’s their fault..i think i shoukd escalate to alibaba (by the way i bought this thing from Et star store in aliexpress. Any advice?

Teclast isn’t that bad, at least its tablets has good HW quality – SW-wise it’s not the best. You cannot even charge a Surface Pro 3 or 4 without the proper power supply: “Your Surface is designed to work best with the included power supply. Using a third-party power supply may result in slow charging.” It’s a problem with these tablets – they require a lot of power -, but it’s not Teclast’s problem.

I was able to fully charge my X98 Plus 3G in less than 4 hours from 6%, which is quite normal, but with the included charger it was more than 7 hours, and I had to turn the display off to let the charging begin.

Here’s a quality comparison on TT: http://techtablets.com/recommended-chinese-tablets-brands/

Avoid Onda like hell, the others are OK.

Have a nice day, y'all!
