Why won't my iPhone charger work in my car?
Q. I have a duel charger adapter in my car. One cord I use for my iPhone and the other I use for my kindle. My iPhone cord was working fine and one day it wasn't charging my iPhone anymore. I took the cord out and tried to use it at home and it still didn't work. My kindle charger still works in my car though so it can't be the outlet. I thought maybe it was just a bad cable so I used another iPhone cable in my car and it worked the first time and after that it stopped working too and I don't know why my iPhone cords aren't working but my kindle cord is. The iPhone cord won't even work at home anymore. Does anyone know why this might be happening?
A. The connection on your phone might be bad, where the cable plugs into. Mine is bad and I always have to wiggle the plug to get it just right to charge. Or it might not be bad but there could be some crud in there, look and make sure it's clean.
How long does it take the charge a kindle fire if it is completely dead?
Q. also once i plug in the charger shouldnt the little light turn on stating it is being charged?
A. Read the user guide for it on the Amazon website found here:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=200317150
Charging info on pages 4, 5.
"Battery indicator: This icon shows how much your battery is charged. When fully charged, the charging indicator light will turn green and the battery indicator will appear filled."
"Your Kindle Fire will be partially charged when you receive it. To charge your device, connect
it to a power outlet using the included power adapter. The charging indicator light (which
encircles the power button) is orange during charging and green when fully charged. Charging
may take up to four hours."
