Duo Wireless Charger Flashing Red lights

[Swampmeister]

When I plug in my charger, using the provided plug and cable, the 2 LED lights flash green, amber and then red.  The lights continue to flash red and nothing will charge when placed on the unit.

I have tried numerous sockets and different combinations of plug and cable without any change.  

Does anyone have any ideas?

 hey just wanted clarification ob the part about it needing to be a TA 300 "ending in gb".... What's supposed to end in gb? Is this the wrong charger?

I'm using the battery that came with it it was doing fine till I needed to unplug it from the socket when I plugged it back in it did the same as above with the flashing lights I have NOT changed the charger it's the same one that it came with looks like it's going to go in the bin 😡

Hi,

I'm unable to get an EP-TA300, would an EP-TA800 work please?

Thanks,

Jim

• Mine is doing the same thing. So I get that the charger may be incorrect, so why not put the correct charger in the box. All I got was the pad, and a cable. I paid enough for it, should have everything you need to charge. Apple is now doing the same thing and just giving a cable without the charger on their new phones. Like said with the amount of money we spend on the equipment we would get everything. I am definitely taking this junk back and get my money back.

I've been through all the 5v and 5v - 9v chargers, and yes, none of those work.  It must be an output 12v charger to work. The original model was an EP-TA300. I have an EP-TA800 for the poster who asked,: no, it doesn't work- wrong voltage. On the back of the EP-TA300 it states:

INPUT: 100-240v  50-60Hz  OUTPUT: 12.0v  - 2.0A  or  9.0V  - 1.67A  or  5.0V - 2.1A  I think it means that it is a switching charger, switching v ranges of V DC output as it senses the draw.  

I couldn't find one at Samsung, so bought generic at jsaux.com . It works. I either accessed it through Amazon or Ebay, I cannot remember. But any charger that (with correct polarization if you get those monster multi-tip chargers) that is 12v dc output and 2.0A should? work. I have another generic 11.8v output charger that also works.

I will also add that the USB wires are tiny and thin within the jacket and easily burn out or separate within the cable. These cables are made for a few cents, each.  You should buy a (substantial, well made) one before finding a new charger? For all those posters who said to try a new cable, I agree.

"gb" might mean Great Britain for the different prong endings there.  No,  it just needs to say EP-TA300 as the core of the model if you are specifically looking for the charger to the EP-N6100N. Before you buy, I'd check to see what prongs the TA300 has that you might find.  😃  Samsung outsourced the EP-T300 to different manufacturers giving them the specifications Samsung required, and can add descriptors to differentiate between the electrical endings, worldwide.  I've posted pictures of some I found on the Internet.

You may need to get a generic 12V adapter. I found mine on jsaux.com via Ebay or Amazon. It works (but I don't know for how long...).

I am having the same issue. ***** Samsung, why don't they just up the price and include the correct charger? I buy everything Samsung and have been happy until now. They are following Apples lead by making everyone pay separately for different components. Capitalistic BS.
