I have tried turning it off, but as soon as I plug it in, it goes to the welcome screen, then hangs. It will charge the battery, but reseting every time is silly.
I will also say that I do not have the original cable or charger, not sure what I did with them, so I may have to try and see if they make a difference. This thread is a great reference, but it is a bit too long to truly help people out easily, maybe a mod could split it up a bit? Maybe by 2014, 2015, 2016? Or just go through and delete the fluff, because there is a bunch.

@Strouty, sterling effort reading the whole thread! Might wanna try search next time (or maybe you can't if you're a new user. They have that stupid rule on some forums, not sure about this one).
Can you try another wall charger and cable? The reader should charge correctly off any usb device but if it's one of these new high power chargers you could have issues. This is speculation though as the DPT is new enough that it should support higher amp chargers. Cables and chargers can easily become faulty though. I've just thrown a cable away myself that stopped working.
If that doesn't work then you might have a faulty device, especially if the charger is working with other similar devices (like another e-reader).
