Genuine Kindle cover with light faulty

Only used this a few times and the light is flickering as if a loose connection inside. Anyone else have problems with these? Lost Argus receipt so not sure about warranty issues. Cheers.

Hi,

I have the same one and originally the light did not work. The problem was the hinge connection that provides the power. I removed the cover and pushed down on the top hinge a bit - this helped it make a better connection when refitted. As far as I remember, i saw this tip in one of the reviews on Amazon.

Light now works most of the time. Still sometimes need to push the kindle in towards the connector hinges to get light to stay on. Could probably adjust the hinge a bit more but I don't want to break it.
