Thanks for the reply

I forgot to tell that I also tried with a battery power pack and another cable that I have used before. The small led lamps on the power pack turned off when connecting it to the ereader and a very low bright sound came from the power pack. Never happened before. When disconnecting it, the small led lamps were lighted again. So something is definitely wrong with the battery on the ereader I think. The phone charger also works okej when charging the phone.

I was worried that the ereader battery now damaged the powerpack, but it seems to work normal when charging other things.

What's "BadPower" hack?

Do you think it also damaged the ereader itself? Anyway to test it before buying a new battery?
