Also search for information on resetting the "repair needed" counter.
I did try as many of the things mentioned in the other threads, but I will do it once again and respond here.

It was working fine just until last week. No serious battery issues, no charging problems. Nil. Me = perfectly happy
Can a single critical battery depletion render the device unusable? If I had known so, I would have paid extra caution while using the device.

Also, I'm pretty paranoid about my lithium batteries () and try not to have them drop below 30% in any case.
I am pretty sure my Kindle has not been run down to critical battery levels on more than three occasions (maybe its the availability bias, but I did take care of the battery).
