What the hell!?  I'm in the final stages of deploying my initial setup.What the hell!? I'm in the final stages of deploying my initial setup. Controlled by a 7th generation Fire 10. I loaded apps needed. Fully Kiosk and Nova. Everything was going great. Then the tablet stopped charging. I was reading it's a common problem. I took the back off and physically checked the port and it's solid and good. Was going to do a factory reset but the problem is this started when it was at 10 percent and to do that it needs to be at 30 or more. Now it's dead from trying to figure out the problem. Fuck. Anyone have any more ideas?

Original charger and cable? Did you try different charger and cable?

Are you using a high enough amperage transformer? Some of the phone ones won't generate the current needed for a tablet.

They call it fire for a reason. Burn it!
