@michaelflane not that easy. Disassemble your Kindle. Follow [guide|7923|this guide.] Desolder the old connector and resolder a new one (sounds easy but it's not. A bit of a PITA to do it). Since you did not tell us the exact model number for your Kindle, you may have to do an online search for a new USB port, based on your Kindle's exact model number. Hope this helps, good luck.
