kindle 3 blinking orange
Hi, i have kindle 3 and i have replaced the battery. When i connect it with a wall charger the led blinking orange and won't turn on. With the original not blinking (and won't turn on, maybe because it's completely empty). Any suggestion?

I'm afraid that it sounds very much as if your replacement battery is faulty.

I hope it is only the battery and not the motherboard...

Yes, indeed. Could be either.
If you've already bought a new battery it might be better to cut your losses at this point and replace the device. |

Mine has a steady orange light & steady green light. Blinking? Maybe its a code. When my mobility scooter Blinks the tech asks how many & it tell him what wrong so he can fix it. IF the blinks can be counted maybe a call to amazon tech support can tell you whats wrong.
