Press and holding down the power button for 20 seconds or more. Then turn the device back on by hitting the power button again. If this doesn't work the first time, you can try holding the button down for 30 seconds or more.

Removing the kindle from the leather cover w/light (purchased separately) , did the trick for me.
It wouldn't charge (the yellow light stayed on).
But when I removed the cover, it charged in about one hour!
I read about this fix in Amazon reviews for the Kindle.
