assuming you have tried another charger, If it does not fit in, there are 2 possible issues.

1) The port is dirty inside. This is much more common with phones, that hang out in the users pocket all day, however, there is a possibility. To fix this, you need an Exacto knife, a toothbrush and isopropyl. Use the Xacto knife to dig out any lint build-up, while maintaining the integrity of the pins. take great care as to not damage them. then scrub out the port with isopropyl. this is a non-conductive solution, so you may be generous with the amount applied.

2) More likely for tablets, there is physical damage in the port causing a mechanical failure. this would require a port replacement, in which you would have to source the part, and replace the port. The difficulty of the repair ranges based on model of the kindle used.

I have ordered Anker portable chargers for my tablets and the cord is to large and does not fit my tablet. My tablet uses the same cord as my IPhone. What is the problem?
