Screen shows only "Kindle Fire"

"Plug the Kindle into the charger for 10-15 min. Then, while it's still connected to the charger, press and hold the on switch for 60 seconds. (Time it.) Then release the button and wait 3 minutes for the Kindle to reboot.

It that does not help, try disconnecting the battery and hold down the power switch for 60 seconds. Then reinstall the battery and repeat the procedure above."

My g-Kids Fire was froze with the fire logo displayed on power....tried some of the steps listed here but no luck. Unless I missed it in the comments....here is what was done to recover...a guess really. Power the unit off. Press and hold both volume buttons while holding these two down, power on. A text display will be shown with an option to clear and reset to factory defaults. Use the volume buttons to move the menu selector and the power button for the enter key. A confirmation screen will be displayed, scroll down to the one that make sense (sorry don't recall the language). Then enter key again. Fire will be reset and display progress messages. Enventually it will power off. Power on again and the unit should be working.

I just called Amazon and because my Kindle Fire which I paid $200 for a little over a year ago is not under warranty any more, they will not replace it. I am downgrading to a black and white read only Kindle and that will cost me $69. And the problem is that the connection on the Kindle is loose or doesn't connect correctly to the charger. Right now I'm trying to charge it with a magazine under the charger holding it in the "correct" position so it will stay in the charging mode (light orange). What a crock. I am not a happy customer....

Do NOT send your Kindle off to be repaired to anyone on here saying they can fix it. ! They will keep your kindle and take your money as well. Take it some where local where you live and have it repaired.

"We repair these A LOT! The jack is unbalanced on the Main Board and is easily detached by normal wear and tear. Soldering the jack back on to the board is a little tricky but the real repair is getting the port sturdy to prevent the issue from re-occurring.

We do a full repair by removing the old solder on the board and the jack then reattach using flux and fresh solder. We also stabilize the port so it doesn't happen again.

You can send it from anywhere in the US and we'll repair it for $39.95 which includes return shipping.

Here is what the said

""Hello,

Thank you for inquiring about our Kindle Fire USB Charge Port Repair Service. We charge a flat rate of $30.00 per Kindle. The flat rate includes parts, free return shipping, labor, testing of the repaired Kindle and a one year Warranty.

You don't have to pay for the service up front if you chose to pay by PayPal or Credit Card. We will send you the invoice via PayPal once the repair has been completed. We can also send you a PayPal invoice now if you prefer. We can only accept credit card payments through PayPal at this time. A credit card can be used to pay a PayPal invoice even if you don’t have a PayPal account. We also accept Checks and Money orders. The Check or money order must be sent with the Kindle to speed up the repair process. The check must clear before we can ship the Kindle back to you. We are a no fix = No pay facility. There is no charge for the repair attempt if we can’t fix your Kindle. Although it is very rare that we wouldn’t be able to fix a Kindle. We also do not charge any hidden diagnostic fees like our competitors do.

You must box up the Kindle and pay for the shipping to us. The post office has a small flat rate box for about $5.80 that works great. Just make sure to bubble wrap the kindle. We pay for return shipping. Next day return shipping is available for $20

I have attached a contact and return shipping form to this email. Please fill out the form and send it with the Kindle. That way we can contact you when we receive the Kindle. I will contact you when we receive your Kindle. I will also contact you again when the repair has been completed.""

So I shipped my Kindle and they emailed me when they got it then they email me when it was complete. They said that your charging port was NOT broken but they got it fixed for the same price so they shipped it back and my friend is playing on it right now! If you need more info go to there site and contact them! Thats how i got my Kindle fixed!"
