I have this problem with all my kindles - they connect and "charge" but won't show on the computer. I have found that if I find the cord they come with, they then will be read by the PC. Since I see no difference between the cables in comparison to the other cables, it doesn't make sense, but it always makes the difference. I can still charge with other USB cables I have laying around. Odd but true. You may want to try finding the USB the kindle came with if you haven't already. And yes, I've switched out several different cords but to no avail other than the one the Kindle came with.
This isn't a consistent problem, as sometimes any cord will pick up the cord for the PC, then they randomly act up again.
