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?

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

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.
