Battery charging

Recently updated to 5.1.1but now battery won't charge from usual charger or from computer USB. It will only charge from my tablet charger, any ideas?

This is rather odd, does the cable fits tight or is it a bit loose on your Xperia?

Fits tight I use the same cable on the other charger a nd it's fine. I'm thinking that the tablet charger has a higher output and that's why that one works
