The issue IIRC from the original article is that the lighted case draws it's power from the Kindle's battery, thus needing metal tabs to insert into the case. The unlighted case has metal tabs that are connected-- they are painted, but the paint can rub off. If the paint has rubbed off on spots of both tabs, it can cause a short circuit.
