No, that was just the most frequent cause.

*) Check the cable.
There are two types of USB cables - ones that are "Power Only" and ones that pass power and data.
A "Power Only" cable (such as from some other external USB device) will act as you describe.

*) Check which version of USB port.
Use a USB-2 version, not a USB-3 version.
There was a multi-million chip mistake in USB-3 interface chips by the industries biggest supplier - making them not compatible with some USB-2 (like the Kindle) devices.
