Thanks for the feedback. I must say if it's plugged in,it shows 100% battery so not sure if the issue is with the charging.. 

Please advice.

Hi @Stellose and thank you for your message! 

This usually means that the charge is being sent to the battery, but it is not being properly stored.

Since you have performed all the suggested manipulations, the only thing left is contacting support, as they have more tools in order to find your options. 

To do so, please fill the required information in the following link: Contact Us.
