Tried all you suggested. The charge light is not even lighting on this Kindle 2. Any other suggestions?

The pins inside the charging port were bent, preventing the USB cord from seating properly. I used a small sewing needle to bend them gently back down into position. All’s well so far…

Thank you so much!!! I had just started the final book in my series, like others I started to panic!

Ha!!!! Fixed it by taking off the back (yes, I know they say not to but it was basically a brick anyway) and reconnecting the interboard connector. And Voila! Totally works!

None of these seems to work. I am stuck on the Empty Battery screen. When I try holding the power swtich trick, the light is green for a few seconds. When I release the button the screen never flashes but after a few seconds the light glows green. The screen remains ever on Empty Battery. Amazon wants to charge me 65 dollars plus shipping to replace!!!!
