Help Eee pad wont charge with blinking light

Hi,
I had my Eee pad for about half a year and pretty happy with it.
I reciently realized that while i was charging my Transformer, it will not charge and will only show the dead battery warning sign. Ive tried my phone usb to the TF wall converter and iylt worked fine. Whenevr i plug my charger to the transformer, it indicates three blinks of an orange light then doesnt charge. Help please :(
 
Does it charge the TAB without the keyboard?
The charger may well charge a phone and not the TF
There is ajumper in the TF cable that tells the charger it is connected ot a TF, this allows the charger to kick the voltage up to 15V, otherwise it will only output 5V which will charge the TF only if off and will take many hours to so a full charge, at least 10.

It does not charge even with the keyboard being disconnected. Im starting to think its the usb cord...
 
At this point you need to get a new charger cord set, either buy one from a source that will allow an easy return, or find a friend that will let you try theirs.

To keep the TF batteries from going to zero make sure you charge them overnight either on the ASUS charger or a USB charger/ PC USB port. Even overnight you will not be able to get a full charge, also the TF needs to be turned OFF!
