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 ?low battery? image. I?ve 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

Left it on charge overnight. No joy.
