My wifes 3G Kindle Paperwhite has suddenly stopped charging. Tried
different leads and chargers but the orange LED never comes on to indicate
charging. We know that they work on my Kindle.

Pressing and holding the power button will briefly elicit a green flash
from the LED and the screen blanks then cycles back to the €œlow battery€�
image.

Ive had a look inside but nothing appear loose and even if the power
socket was loose it would be beyond my skills to fix. The socket is clean
internally (no fluff or grit etc.).

Anyone else had this problem? Would it be worth taking it somewhere for a
USB socket replacement working on it being the likeliest culprit?


Ive seen this on a kindle that has been left for ever and gotr really low.

IIRC we got it back by simply plugging it in and leaving it - for hours

If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will
eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such
time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic
and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally
important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for
the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the
truth is the greatest enemy of the State.
