Nook HD+ charger port problem?

[JimPhelps]

I know the Nook HD+ is outdated, old and is from Barnes & Noble which make terrible tablets, etc.

But anyway, my charger port I think must have gotten some gunk or something in it where when I plug my charger cord into it, all I can get is the green power light but not an orange charging light. I've taken a q-tip and some high isopropol alcohol (damp, not wet) and tried to clean it, used some toothpicks and a can of compressed air attempting to clean it out but all I can get is the green power light.

I spoke to Barnes & Noble, and they told me to get another power cord. Do y'all know if a no-name brand kind of charger will work for the Nook HD+ since the actual B&N website shows the Nook charger as Temporarily out of Stock and of course, my local shop doesn't have any either.

Any USB charger that can supply 2 amperes or more should work. But if the cable is bad, surely you have noticed that the connector on the Nook HD+ end is proprietary and standard USB cables will not fit in the charging port on the Nook HD+.

Yep, sure have. The point I was asking about was, B&N was telling me to go to Best Buy to get another charger. The one I found on their website was an Insignia brand 30 pin connector cable. Now one of my ecigarettes came with a charger that looks just like my nook charger but it turns out that it only works with Apple iPods and ipads from a few years back. I just wasn't sure if that cable would work...especially since my local BB didn't have it in stock so I gotta order it online if I get it, which, if I'm gonna order online, I might as well just use Amazon and order another Nook charger.

If you have a working 2A USB charger and need only the charging cord, you can get one on eBay for $5.00: http://www.ebay.com/itm/USB-Data-Syn...-/253037726504
