Searched high and low. Looked at Galaxy Tab and Android forums for fix.

My Samsung Galaxy Tab will not charge. I have to OEM (Original Equipment Manufacture) cables, one for home and one for work. I have tried both with the mains so the problem is not in the cables. It must be in the tab itself.

This has happened 2 x before and I was able to fix with a manual reset both time. I have now tried the reset 3 times and still no joy.

The battery is too flat to tether to PC to back up my data. I will have a look at using dropbox to store stuff like my contacts, since I can't get them onto the SD Card.

Any ideas out there as to why the battery won't charge? It is showing that charging is happening, but more than 20 hours later and the battery is still almost flat.
