Apparently charge port on these Amazon fire tablets are notorious for coming loose and/or disconnecting from the tablet. Usually a solder joint breaks. We got 1 for each of our 5 yr. old granddaughter & both won't charge after approximately 5 months use. Are they worth repairing in shop? Key is, & no one tells you this, you have to carefully, gently plug them in & let them be until fully charged. Don't move them while charging because those charging ports are so so delicate you will “wiggle" yourself right into a broken tablet. Buyer beware!
