Absolutely no problem since. The mini-usb cable I had been using was not an official Amazon Kindle cable, yet it had always worked with the old Kindle 2. Always check your connecting cables!
Weird. I guess the USB socket on the new Kindle is slightly looser or something compared to the old one so your existing cable didn't make a very good contact. The cable for a K2 is a standard Mini USB and they changed it to Micro USB for the K3.

Good to hear that Kindle CS are taking care of you even though your warranty has expired!
