Kindle won't charge even though lamp is lit - possible reasons

You connect your Kindle to a charger but nothing happens? Charging problems are often caused by the device itself, but sometimes by the charger or charging cable. It is important to determine the cause of the problem for troubleshooting.

These causes can lead to problems charging your Kindle

If your Kindle isn't charging properly even though the function light is on, there can be several reasons.

1. Deep discharge: If your Kindle has not been used for months, the battery can become completely discharged. This often means that the battery becomes unusable and no longer charges properly.
2. Cables and charger: problems with charging are also caused by defective charging cables that prevent the flow of electricity.
3. External conditions: direct sunlight and high temperatures can damage the Kindle and be responsible for the device no longer charging properly.

Tips if your Kindle stops charging

1. If you use your Kindle irregularly, you should fully charge the battery before storing it for several months.
2. Try charging your Kindle with a different charging cable or charger. Sollte dies nicht funktionieren, können Sie das Kindle zum Starten des Ladevorgangs auch über USB direkt mit dem PC verbinden.
3. Setzen Sie Ihr Kindle in den Werkszustand zurück und versuchen Sie den Ladevorgang erneut.
