Many PCs have more than one USB port. Hence, if connecting the kindle to one USB port doesn't work, then try using another port. However, you need to keep one thing in mind that the USB ports end up failing with time because of their daily usage. The ports may not also work if your PC got damaged from the USB side.

You can also try using some other USB cable but prior to going for that, you must check that the wire that you are currently using is working with other devices or not. In case the cable is working with other devices, then the wire is working fine and the fault lies elsewhere.

3) Try Connecting Your Kindle to a Different Computer

There is a chance that the software on your PC is not working properly. You can easily fix this problem by connecting your Kindle to another PC and check if it's working or not. If your device doesn't work with another PC, then that means something else is leading to this problem.

4) Perform a Reset

This will bring your kindle device to factory default settings. For restarting Kindle all you need to do is to press the Power button and then hold it till it restarts automatically. This will surely fix your problem.
