USB to Fire mini USB Cable needed
I recently ordered a mini USB cable from Amazon but believe the mini is too large to fit my Kindle Fire. Can anyone advise me the correct cable? Also I have a cable for my camera that I think will fit the Fire. Is it OK to use the camera cable, or will that harm it?
Thanks in advance |

Before you rush out and buy a USB cable, check your old phone chargers or even your newer one. Many of these chargers have a detachable USB cable that might possibly work with the Fire (micro USB). The charger from my son's old LG enV3 phone (LG Model # STA-U12WD) is one example where the USB cable detaches from the charger and fits the Fire perfectly.

Mini is different than Micro. I have both because the Mini fits my Sansa Clip+ The new Sansa Clip Zip is Micro like the Kindle.
You have on your Profile you own a Kindle Touch just use that Cable. It will fit the Kindle Fire and work just fine. |
