My kindle fire screen is locked and won't rotate.

jareb, the first thing you wan to do is to see if it is locked. Tap on the little Settings icon in the top right corner of the screen, here you should see where you can lock and unlock the screen position. Unlock it and see what happens. Hope this helps, good luck.

There is a rotate screen or lock screen option in settings. I promise it will work.

Holding down the power button for twenty seconds works for me

I tried holding button down twenty seconds - no help. I don't see any settings icon in upper right nor anything to do with locking screen in “settings". What now?

Wish you all well. ps OT: the Twitter police permanently locked me out after I posted only THREE times..generic, tactful political suggestions. Shocking limitation on USA free speech. My state AG says they have no one policing Google, Twitter, etc arbitrary black listing innocent users…

Hold down the power button until it shuts down. Turn it back on holding it in the horizontal position. When it powers back on, keeping it in the horizontal position, look at the bottom of the screen and you will see the lock icon. Swipe the lock icon and “Wallah" your screen will now rotate. Hope this helped? DreamWeaver
