On the lock screen of Kindle Fire HD 7, I have what I assume is a low battery indicator (big outline of a battery with red low battery indicator). I have used a plain old Kindle power adapter to charge my old Kindle fire (not hd) in the past but it did not work with the HD. I have no other message except for the battery outline with the red low battery line. It won't turn on. Is the Kindle charger not adequate for the Fire HD or is there somehting else wrong? I will have to drive miles out of my way tonight to get the Fire charger from my house and I'd rather know now if this is some kind of disaster that getting the Fire charger won't fix.

If this is another problem, I'm all done with the Fires, it's my 3rd replacement and there is just always something wrong!!
