This is the 8-inch version of the smaller Fire 7. It includes 1.5 GB of RAM, a faster processor, and an HD display. The Fire HD 8 was released on June 7th, 2017.

Charger must be bent at a certain angle to actually charge device

I’ve tried multiple chargers with it but they all do the same thing. If I want the device to charge, i have to bend the charger toward the screen which could damage the charger and the charging port.

I have no idea what’s wrong with it, so help would be nice :)

I suggest replacing the micro usb port

I was looking for an easier option and cheaper option for me. The replacement guide for that requires soldering and is labeled very difficult. It also costs 150$+ in tools (for reference the device itself is like 55$). I also don't think I'm in warranty anymore.

You can probably substitute most of the tools for cheaper alternatives

Hi John,


i found this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d4YcA120...


The guy tightens the port with some careful touches. Before replacing the port, you could try that.

This works, with care the socket can be re shaped to hold the plug.
