[pmw51]

I was using my kindle fire last night when it died and am presuming that the battery went flat (I had failed to notice).

I am trying to charge using the charger for my original kindle but don't know if the device is actually charging.

I have tested the charger and it is in working order.

I went onto the Amazon site which tells you to scroll up and click more to confirm charging is happening. However when I do that the device switches on for about a second and then switches off. So I am unable to check.

Amazon also refers to a light on the device which shows it is charging. This light is on my original device but not on the kindle fire.

It has been charging for about 2 hrs.

Does the above sound normal if indeed the battery was completely flat.

Thanks
