Hi,
I could use some help here.
I just bought a replacement battery for my Kindle 2 international on eBay, followed some YouTube video on how to disassemble the kindle and replaced it.
Now my kindle won't charge, it is plugged in, but the led won't light up. If I hold the switch for 10+ seconds, the led glows amber for a couple of seconds then turns off again.
Does anyone have a clue on what's wrong, do I have a defective battery?
Thanks!
