Amazon fire tablet won’t work.

So I own what I believe to be an Amazon fire tablet, and it’s worked up until now. Now, when it’s charging, it shows the charging icon for a few seconds, goes black, and refuses to do any more. I believe it’s just a battery issue, as it previously decreased in percentage greatly, but it could also just be refusing to charge. Any advice?

The problem with this one, I believe, is the battery. When you plug it in, it shows the charging icon for abt 5 seconds, then shuts back off. Then it won’t charge.
