No, it shouldn't, and it doesn't.
I was just saying that the flourescent lamps do flash at a couple Hertz, especially when turning them on and off. They have always flashed. I know some people have suggested that they shouldn't flash, and that if they do, it implies bad wiring in the apartment.

Replacing the battery should work in the case of a (regularly) flashing power LED. If it is irregular flickering, it might be a flaky USB cable OR a flaky USB jack on the kindle. Propping the cable at an angle might help make a better connection while inserted in this case.

And the Usb connection's also stuttering at a similar frequency, so I can't transfer files. It's probably the connection.
