Shame... mine was replaced after 3 months but is failing again a year later. Why wouldn't they just use a standard cable?

Yeah it was my only real gripe about the Nook Color. Terrible cable design. I always found myself feeling jealous of the special bent tipped cables they used at the B&N store displays. When I asked about them it turns out they're specially made for B&N for use with the Display Security System and are impossible to get Retail. Bummer.

From what I understand, a standard cable didn't provide enough power to charge the battery quickly enough. If you use a regular cable it'll charge but take a long time. There should be a good open power & data standard for connectors though.
I'm kind of irritated...I requested a replacement cable almost a year ago, and they told me they would send it out right away. I check in with them again a few months later, and they said that they were behind on orders and that it'd be shipped out when they get it. I still haven't received it...

I had the same thing happen. After a month or so I went to a local store and they checked and saw my order and just gave me one.
Can you just take it in to a store or do you need to verify how long ago you bought it?

Depends on the store. I had some say they just took the old cable in and they exchanged it. At my store they wanted the serial number so they could look it up to verify it was still under warranty.

FYI, I received one out of warranty from the web site I called in. it broke within a month. However, something happened to my nook and it now works with my standard droid cable?
I'm almost afraid to post this, but wanted to share so others could try different cables.
Good Luck
Ha. The Barnes & Noble store I just went to told me I needed to buy their charger and cable bundle for $25 because my NC would break if I ever used a standard cable.
My wife has a NC and in the past 10 months has gotten 2 new cables and chargers. They threw em in for the heck of it. Now the charging port is very sloppy and finicky how it gets plugged in and they are sending her a new NC.

According to leapinlar's thread (and my personal experience), the Nook Color will charge through a standard micro-usb cable, but much more slowly than it will with the included cable. The standard cable is likely to charge at 1.9 Amps, while a standard micro-USB will probably supply 0.5 Amps.

Well today I was plugging my USB cable into my NC and suddenly there was a tiny puff of smoke and now no USB connectivity. The cable was always touchy about going in and I guess something finally shorted. It still charges but no USB at all. At this point I'm not sure if it's the device or the cable, but I plan on testing it tomorrow with another cable I have at work.
I did restore it back to stock just in case I have to do a return.
Take it back to B&N posthaste ... they have been having LOTS of microUSB problems .. only bad thing is you may have to wait for the replacement .... Cheers and sorry you are having trouble.

My usb cable broke as well. the plastic came off the micro tip. The wires disconnected, so I charged with my cell charger and took it back to B&N. Took them all of five minutes to replace it.
1-year warranty, so you should have no problems exchanging it (depending on stock).
You're scaring me. This was with the B&N cable? I would take it to the store ASAP and demand a replacement. Or at least get put on a list for replacement when stock catches up with demand.
Yes this was with the stock NC USB cable. It had always been hard to get in and I guess eventually something broke. Since I bought it at a brick and mortar store I'm hoping to not have any issues with a warranty exchange.

Great! Then I can get a new Nook without a wonky ass power button next time I'm at B&N (you brush a finger by it, or flex the case... and poof, you're rebooting).
Got this from the German Amazon site. 5 days shipping to UK.

Wait, so finding a 2 amp 3rd party charger isn't enough?
No, there is some circuitry in a branded Samsung Tab charger that tells the tab to pull down the full charge. A third party charger will work but very slowly and the tab shows a not charging symbol in the menu bar. This little adaptor in my first post fools the tab into thinking it is connected to an official charger.

Wish I'd bought two at the time. Now I have to pay another lot of postage.
It's charging now from my laptop USB. 5% in 10 mins so much faster than normal.
I have a couple of these data/charge cable on order, they seem to get a good review, they are cheap at only £1.60 each.
They take about 10-15 days to deliver, so dont buy if your in a hurry.

I bought a couple of 3rd party cables too. They seem identical to the original, minus the Samsung logo. You'll still need an adaptor like in my first post of you want to charge fast from usb or 3rd party chargers.

I dont want to go modding chargers, some are not easy to get into, also some device might not like the mod, it`s easier just plug in an usb adaptor , also+ , I am definitely not going to mod the ports on my notebook , when the usb adaptor work on your notebook too.

dunno with tabs, but i had an experience with blackberry which oftenly charge with 3rd party charger (for car) which caused ic charging damage. I had mili charger but haven't use it with tabs just because the original travel charger is so simple to carried out with
I received my usb/usb adaptor`s and they seem to work great with all my usb chargers and even with my notebook, though the data connection does not work.
There is no circuitry guys. Its a standard for USB charging where the data lines are shorted. I use my 1A HTC desire charger regularly and it works just fine. Just need to get a good charger.
What I'd like to see is something to let me charge and sync at the same time because often at work battery dies while I'm debugging.

Not Correct, I have been soldering the data lines together on my usb chargers for years to get my Sony mp3 to charge and non of these chargers will give me full charge mode, just trickle, now the usb/usb adaptor works great.

Have to agree here! I've several HTC USB chargers, and not one of them will do more than trickle charge my Tab unless I use one of these adaptors.

I doubt it. It looks like the pins are different. I think the Nook pins are just a little behind the normal pins and that is why the snout is longer. With the HTC pins, they are forward and beside the normal pins. Look at the picture here. Plus it has that little dimple in the middle.

Exactly...
The plastic end cracks open and the cable quits charging. My last one lasted 3 weeks and I was VERY careful with it. I am currently using a standard usb cable to charge via computer. It take 6 to 8 hrs to fully charge. Wish there was an aftermarket 12 pin cable that would work!

Hey guys, about a month or so ago I was at work charging my phone and my coworker tripped on my charging wire and destroyed the usb part that connects to the actual charger. So it's now just connecting the metal frame to the charger which still works but I would like to get a new cable. I want to get the exact one I had since it matches the white charger and it's the longest stock cable I've received. Any ideas where to get the stock cable? thanks.

Is there a way I can know for sure if cable is real or fake? I've already got some cables from eBay, but they can charge max at 200mA which is useless.
I usually buy my microusb cables from monoprice and so far they've performed just as well as any OEM cable.
They also have them in white. Just search for white microusb and boom. With 2 cars and 6 devices that use microusb cables, it's just easier to buy in bulk in all different lengths.
Yeah I saw monoprice and it seems awesome, but they don't ship into my country. And even if they would, shipping prices for nearby countries are ridiculous (around 30$ of shipping for 1$ cable).
So does anyone know any good eBay seller or other shop with international shipping that sells reliable 2A cables?

Wow even my dollar store USB gets 800mAh through it. Not sure how to verify genuine Samsung cables, other than the general esthetics like the signature shape of the micro usb tip and the printing on the cable itself wich should say something like (E324705 RI AWM 21104 22AWGX2C 80°C 36V). But yes in your case unless heavily damaged, Im guessing its not oem lol.

maybe it doesn't, but your way of thinking is flawed, and greedy.
charging cradle is using standard micro usb connection. 99% of the cables/chargers will work with it. everyone own a few at least, they come with nearly every device. micro usb is present on more than 90% of devices. you charge everything with one cable. yet you are trying to get the original charger - for no reason.

I guess I wasn't around whenever you were crowned "knower of all things usb and resale", strange though considering you obviously have no clue what you're talking about. First of all having the original box and original contents along with any item being resold greatly increases the overall chance of it selling, it reduces the amount of time it takes to sell, and most importantly items sold with their original box and contents on average bring in 15% - 30% MORE MONEY than the exact same items being sold without the original box and contents. So wow, just wow, it actually does make a difference whether you want to believe it or not. But I guess whenever you sell something of yours you just give it away for practically nothing because otherwise you'd be greedy right? Let me know whenever you're ready to sell your Gear because I'd be happy to give you $20 bucks for it! Secondly, just because a different cable might fit into the port doesn't mean that it'll work the same way. You're "any old cable will do" theory is kind of ridiculous considering cables by themselves have different resistances which alone could cause longer charge times and faster battery drain, and each adapter has it's own voltage and amp outputs which can also effect different devices in different ways. It's funny how none of those things ever crossed your mind yet somehow you're an authority on the subject. LOL Wow just wow!
