My guess is that your charger is 1.8 - 2 amps , or your Fire charger is defective, as you would most definitely notice the difference.

My understanding it's the same charger that the Playbook has. That's why it's so cheap. It was a huge complaint when the KF came out how the charger was too bulky to carry around. That's said it is compatible according to Amazon to charge the Kindle 4 and Kindle Touch with it.

I had issues charging the fire the other day and had to hold the on off button for 30 seconds. I prefer using a USB charger and micro cord or charging by laptop.

Me too-Exact Same Kindle Fire Charging Issue
Kindle Fire support is sending me a new Kindle today because I had the exact same experience with the charger port. About 2 months ago I reported that the Fire was not charging. A new charger was sent and the problem was resolved. Last night I noticed that the battery was only at 30% even though the Fire had been plugged in for hours. I could only get the charging to work if I fiddled with the connection and moved it to the exact "right" spot and held it there. I reported the problem to Kindle Fire support and explained that the charger had been replaced once already.
I should get my new Fire in a day or two. |

Slightly off topic. My Kf has the loose USB connector and the batt. is completely dead. wiggling or holding my tongue the right way doesn't make any diff = no charge.
My question, is there any way to get the stuff on the old KF onto the new one(coming soon from Amazon)? Old one Nothing fancy fully stock. With dead batt is it at all possible to do this into PC or directly from old to new KF? Last edited by Jerry42; 09-29-2012 at 02:55 PM. |

Jerry42,
If your old KF is fully stock virtually everything on it should be backed up in the Amazon cloud. Registering the new device to the same account should make it available. |

Agree: mini USB superior
I agree. The micro-USB seems to be problematic.

Here is a good video that shows the repair process of a kindle fire charging port that I found on YouTube.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dxFs54Wxt5o
