I recently pulled a first generation kindle (with keyboard etc) out of an old box. It showed no signs of life, so i ordered a new battery and it arrived today. I popped it in and it worked right away! i loaded a bunch of books on and am super happy with it. However, I do not get the charging LED when the usb cord is plugged in. I do get an amber LED when it is connected to a computer in USB drive mode, but I am not sure if this is charging. I am wondering if I will need the original barrel style charger to charge it, or if I need to charge it in USB mode. If anyone has any information on this, or anywhere I could find the correct charger, it would be much appreciated. The amazon listing for the charger is no longer available and I can't find it anywhere. Thank you!
