DS got an 8.9 Fire for Christmas and it didn't charge well at all. It took 12 hours to charge 10% from 17 to 27 percent using a wall adapter. He tried various cords/adapters/outlets and nothing worked well. He spoke to KCS and a new one is arriving today.
Last night DH's new 8.9 Fire was at 17% so he used his original Fire cable and adapter and it didn't charge and dropped to 7% charge overnight. He used his new cord and adapter this a.m. in a different outlet, the outlet he usually uses, and it's not registering as charging. On the screen it shows the battery with one bar orange and the lightening bolt. There are no lights indicating that it's charging.
DH wants me to ask...Is not charging is a problem with the 8.9 Fires
Edited to Add: Now less than a half hour after I posted the original message it seems to be totally dead...it will not come on at all. DH thought when it was charging there was supposed to be an amber light and when it was finished charging it went to green. No lights...either last night or today. He thinks he's going to be calling KCS.
