usb cable doesnt charge - Esato archive

whenever i use my cable to charge my t230, it will show the icon as being fully charged, but after 20 minutes disconnected, the icon will go back to the status it was at before it started charging. anyone had this problem?

What kind of cable are you using?

Battery problems?

i have fixed this problem. i plugged the cable into the back of the pc, instead of the usb ports on the front and now it charges fine. i guess the power to the front usb ports fluctuates and the cable cant handle it.

It's either that or the front USB ports isn't USB 2 compliant. USB 2 has higher power which allows it to use longer cables and power up some external devices.
