Question: should the two pins on the back of the kindle give some voltage if the battery is charged? I get a flat zero even after 48h of charging it with a 5V outlet adapter.
PS: Thanks for all the hard work guys!

The back pins are software-controlled. It is normal for them to be off until the software turns them on.
Which kindle version?
Your "Mfg" and "diags profile" comments suggest you meant MfgTool, in which case you have a K4 or K5.
Does diags work?
Does the eink screen change when you boot to diags with MfgTool?
What OS are you running?
The USB disconnect may be on the host PC side.
How do you KNOW that "the kindle won't charge?
We need more information to help you...
