Quick fix for HP Touchpad not charging
While the HP Touchpad was a super good deal when it was $99 there are some issues. One issue I have come across is problems with the micro USB connector. Recently the HP Touchpad stopped charging. It didn’t seem like it could be the cable since it was new. I found one way to get the HP Touchpad to charge. If you put an object like a book under the cable near the connector the HP Touchpad will charge. (see picture above) I usually do this at night so I don’t have to worry about someone moving it. At least there is an option to buy an inductive charger for the Touchpad.
Great! I tried. It works. Thank you!
It works as a quick temporary fix. I ended up getting a new USB cable and now the HP Touchpad charges good. I was worried the issue was with the Touchpad.

I thought my connection was bad too and then I found out it was that the Touchpad had completely discharged while it was on. This led to a parasitic drain on the device that prevented it from being charged. I have a post on it at http://www.slashreboot.com/journal/2012/8/18/an-odd-hp-touchpad-charging-problem.html
It is actually so stupid how this actually works! props to hp for such great build quality.
Does anyone know where and how I can obtain/purchase the “ubs induction charger” for the HP Touchpad?
Did you try eBay?
