The charging light on my pre-used Kindle Dx sometimes flashes orange.

It's possible that it's just a bad electrical system. The Kindle has stopped flashing. The flourescent lamps can also flash a few times each second, especially when turning them on. I have some kind of strobe sensitivity to safety lights, so I could have similar problems due to the flourescent lights.

It's unlikely that it's a bad power adaptor. I'm currently using my third adaptor, with some success.

It's possible that it's a bad usb port and/or bad battery. I've ordered a new battery since the original runs down in about 2 days, with Wifi off. I might be able to check the usb port when I replace the battery.
