GT-P5113 Will Not Charge

[JustAsIAm]

Hey guys, I have a Galaxy Tab 2 Model GT-P5113 10.1 tablet and it is running Android Jellybean.

The problem I am having is that it won't charge. It is completely out of power now and when I plug the AC adapter in that came with the unit, I get picture of the now empty battery on the screen and then it goes blank. Every 30 seconds or so I get the same picture and it goes blank. It repeats this forever and never charges. I have tried plugging it into different wall sockets, etc and no joy.

Ideas?

I am working on the same tablet (Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1" (GT-P5113)).

When I plugin the charging cable, the battery monitor says it is not charging, yet it does charge the device (extremely slowly).

I replaced the charging unit with a spare that I had (retaining the same usb cable though) and the problem went away for about a week or so.

When I plug the USB cable into my computer, the tablet is recognized and accessible immediately. However, it still says "Not Charging" when I look at the battery monitor.

Ideas?
