The red light above the power button on my reader no longer comes on when I plug in the AC adapter or USB cable. However, the lightning symbol shows up and the battery does appear to be charging (judging from an increase in bars after plugging it in for a few hours). I initially thought the wire/lead connecting the LED must be disconnected or severed. But this guess was ruled out when I did a soft reset and saw the usual flashing yellow lights during startup.

To give a bit of background on my reader, I recently sent it in to Sony for a screen problem. They supposedly replaced the screen and updated the firmware. This was the first time I charged the reader since I got it back from them. Any suggestions/ideas?
