Kindle 3 reluctant to charge
My K3 which has performed impeccably for over a year, suddenly became reluctant to charge last night. Plugged in overnight to its usual standalone charger (and yes before you ask the power WAS switched on!), in fact it discharged itself so deeply that its internal clock even stopped around 3.00 a.m.!

Plugging it in to the same charger afresh this morning fixed the problem. Anyone else experienced this weird behaviour?

Sounds like a loose connection or bad cable. Try using another Micro USB cable and make sure it's plug snug into the Kindle and not loose.
