Troubleshooting Kindle - no light, no charging

mielliott · 06-23-2011, 09:44 PM

I have a Kindle that appeared to be working well when we left on a 60 day trip -- now 7 days into the trip, all I get is the "Slide and release the power switch to wake", but it will not respond nor when I plug it in to power does the light come on -- no yellow, no green -- just nothing.

Any ideas? I want to read!!!

If you are using USB to charge, try the wall charger instead. Leave it plugged in for at least an hour prior to checking it again.

It does take a couple hours to get up to full charge usually. And I think I remember reading in another thread that if the battery is too low it won't allow it to be used til it has charged up a bit.
