Broke down immediately after the 90 day warranty expired.
I ordered this for my sister, who is handicapped, and she LOVED it, babied it like nothing else since her kids 40 yrs ago.
Couple of weeks before the end of of her 90 day LIMITED warranty, it started to not charge well. She didn't mention it to me because she thought she was doing something wrong. Of course it finally died altogether within a couple of days of the warranty's end. That's when she called me. She thought she had broken the charger. So she took it into an electronics store looking for a new charger. Guy looked at it and said, "7th Gen Fire right? it won't charge." And she was was like, "Yeah! exactly! How did you know?" He said he had seen so many lately he could see them coming. Previous customers had come back to tell him Amazon's charging $80 to fix it, a $65.00 'bargain'. But she wasn't convinced yet, so he plugged her into a new charger, and nothing. She asked if maybe that charger was defective, so he plugged it into a device he had and it immediately started charging. She's heartbroken.
Nice amazon.... that's just real nice.
