Linx 7" tablet and HP Stream 7".
I don't want a generic one but a branded charger.
HP stream don't make there's any more and they redirected me all over the place, and still couldn't help me.
The Linx one ... I have searched and searched and can't find one with good reviews that's not generic.
Thanks

I'd prefer a wall charger. I tired buying a USB one off eBay which said it was compatible; however when it arrived, it neither fitter in the tablet or charged.GC 2026 ~ J £213.45/180 F £180.21/£120 M £158.53/£150 A £184.65/£150 May £53.53/120 (includes food, toiletries and cleaning from 13th to 12th of each month). £4.97/30 Bulk fund Two person vegan household, with occasional visitorsJoin me on the meal plan thread : https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6356309/could-we-start-a-meal-plan-thread-again-so-its-not-lost-in-the-gc/p1Forever learning the art of frugality0 -

I've managed to.find the original charger for the HP, its not the same fitting at the charger end so hard to.locate one the same. Also, the one that was advertised as fitting the HP,fits the Linx. So all good.

It is worth remembering that not all tablets use micro USB for charging.Never Knowingly Understood.

It might stand for usb, but as pointed out above I dont think the HP is a universal one as the fitting isnt the same as the Linx or a Kindle, or most mobiles.GC 2026 ~ J £213.45/180 F £180.21/£120 M £158.53/£150 A £184.65/£150 May £53.53/120 (includes food, toiletries and cleaning from 13th to 12th of each month). £4.97/30 Bulk fund Two person vegan household, with occasional visitorsJoin me on the meal plan thread : https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6356309/could-we-start-a-meal-plan-thread-again-so-its-not-lost-in-the-gc/p1Forever learning the art of frugality0 -
