Kindle touch when is it charged

Then Kindle will reboot. If Kindle doesn't have enough power to complete rebooting, you must charge it for few hours until Kindle can restart. In Kindle setting options, enter device information option, then you can see reset device option. Select it your Kindle will be reset. Please mention this operation will change your Kindle to be brand new. After resetting Kindle, you will lose saved files of your device.

And you must have to re-download previous apps, books or personality customization. Register your Amazon account and your books still be there. It is a complex mystery about why this way is effective. But if there are no other effective methods, why not try it? So following are their steps.

Find the brightness setting. If Kindle has the automatic brightness button then turn it off. Adjust the brightness to the lowest level. Then open automatic brightness again. You may find the screen shows Kindle is charging. After full charging, you can turn brightness level to which you want. If there has a volume button of your Kindle such as Kindle Fire, then you can turn the voice down then Kindle may charge normally.

If matched hardware or device was broken or not used in normally, you can go to a local electronic product repairing shop. Please be sure this shop is reputable and experienced in repairing Kindle. As well there are many repairing Kindle devices service on eBay, you can research the keyword "Kindle Repair" on this site.

But this isn't recommended. You can contact Kindle Customer Service to change your products or free repair if your products are in warranty period.

Even though your products passed warranty period, they may give you a discount to change the bad one. I recommend you select "Live Chat" or "Call me back" function than email which is very slow. Whether they can give you a satisfied answer or not in the end, as long as you contact them there is always a glimmer of hope. When Kindle is charging, there will be a lightning bolt on the screen.

Enter into Kindle, it also has a lightning bolt on the top right navigation of the screen. It has an indicator light in the bottom edges of Kindle devices. But if the light is not on it may illustrate there is something wrong with Kindle charging.

On the basis of the official word, charging your Kindle with well-matched cable and power adapter designed by Amazon will take less than 4 hours. Charge your Kindle by plugging in a computer with USB jack will take hours. Meanwhile, according to the standard of hardware capacitance, it may take a longer time to full charging. If Kindle not charging, please figure out which reasons lead to this. And you can try above methods. Perhaps you have better-solving ways then leave comments to benefit more users.

Plug Kindle into a computer. Check the internal storage of your Kindle Paperwhite. Maybe there is no enough memory of your device. I have the same problem. Paperwhite with battery with exclamation mark. No light when plugged in. Tried different cables. Pressing power long time makes kindle flash white sometimes, but then battery!

Hi there, have you succeded in solving your problem? I have the very same issue with my Kindle 3. Epubor: could I change this charging interface, you mentioned, by myself? My Kindle has been plugged in for the past 2 days and I still see the screen with the empty battery- no screen refreshing, no blinking, no reaction at all to any of the 30sec.

The orange light is on whenever plugged in, though. I have broken my old Kindle, D no touchscreen, when I leaned against it not seeing it on the bed and destroyed the screen or half of it. Still, decided to get another one of the same kind, second hand one as it is not available for sale any more, since I loved it- it's super light and has buttons : Anyways, got myself a second one but left it unused for a few weeks it did turn on, though, when I tried it after buying.

Now I desperately want to turn it on but it does not react to anything I am doing. Should I leave it on charge for another day or two, or should I look into replacing the battery, using the one from my old Kindle? Hi again : Thank you for a quick reply. The confusing thing is that the light is on, yet still it is not charging, as it seems. Maybe a silly question but how do I check if the interface is OK, apart from contacting Amazon support of other "fixing sevice"?

Hi all please I need help, my Kindle have been off for more than a year. I charged it over night but its not coming on. I have tried the 30 second this and still no success, what can I do please. I have very important notes on it that I need. When on charge, it shows orange and the green. My Kindle refused to charge last night when I plugged it in - battery indicator had just dropped into the red. Note: I use mine pretty much every day.

Not only would it not charge, it wouldn't turn back on when I tried. My Kindle is now sitting on my desk next to me charging back up. Thanks for the help!

My Kindle was off for 4 years. I tried the 30 second thing a number of times but no dice. Jackpot I plugged it in and while the orange light was on I held the button down for 15 secs and then released it.

It is now up and running. I have given up my Kindle Paperwhite as a paper weight. Followed the 30 seconds mantra and plugged on and it bust into life and said it is updating its software! Fry me an Oyster! I have a Kindle touch 3g D has been unused for a long time, probably more than a year. I took it out two days ago, and tried to charge it. The yellow light is on whenever kindle is connected to adapter. I have charged it overnight. When I checked in morning, the charging light was off.

It never turned green. Again when I connect to power source, yellow light is ON. It might be that your charger port on your kindle was habitually pushed in too far while charging and now the charger is not connecting or seated fully in the port.

Try using a knife point or small screwdriver to pry the port back out into position and see if the charging light comes on when plugging in the charger. After no luck with any of the suggestions here, I took my Kindle Paperwhite apart, tested the 3. I disconnected the battery, reconnected it and the unit booted up If the meter is on the motherboard, I need to find a way to resync it with the battery.

But it the meter is contained in the battery, then I figure replacing it should work. Hello, I have a kindle paperwhite. Phoned Amazon for advice, didn't get any instead they tried to sell me another device! I've tried all day to charge it. No sign of any light. Have a battery with exclamation mark. Don't know what else to try. Have pressed and held button to turn on so many times. For 20 seconds, then 40 seconds. I looked up the problem I was having with my Kindle Battery.

Followed the instructions and wow I can now use my Kindle again. My kindle paperwhite,is stuck on the home screen, I've tried to restart and it goes off then back to home screen. It's really annoying as I just downloaded a few books right before it stopped working.

I've even got it charging, the green light comes on then goes off again. Really frustrating, can anyone please help or advise me on what to do now. Try a few more times to restart your Kindle. Hold the power button longer. Try to delete those books firstly and check if the device is normal. I know this has been asked ages ago, but I have the same problem.

I charged my Kindle Paperwhite two days ago, it worked fine. Then last night I tried to use it but it was frozen showing home screen. Tried to restart it pressing the button at the bottom, and it flashed and went to show the battery with a "! It stayed with the light on. All it does now when I press the button is flashing a few times to a blank screen, and then home screen again with lights on. In the middle I left to charge a few hours, the light at the bottom went from orange to green, although still didn't work, and a few hours later went to orange again, as if it hadn't really charged.

I don't know what else to do. Try holding power buttonfor 15 seconds and release. This will reset the device. Thank you so much for these things to try. I'd given up with my kindle ever working again! My kindle has a picture of a battery with an explanation point on it and will not charge. What should I do? My Kindle Paperwhite 2 has the same problem also.

I was wondering if 1 when the battery is completely dead or not rechargeable does the charge light not appear when connected to a charger? I opened up my Kindle and the USB port appears to be soldered securely. These ports don't seem to accept much of the USB plug and can readily fall out of the port.

I'm wondering if the battery can be tested using an ohm meter. Always fun fixing your own stuff but nothing ever seems easy. I wish I knew if it was the battery. That's an easy fix. I have an 8th generation kindle, only about 16 months old. If you fully charge your Kindle once or twice a week, you'll likely never have to deal with a drained battery.

That said, there are times when your Kindle won't charge after a depleted battery. In most cases, you can bring it back to life with relative ease. Here's how. If your Kindle is displaying a critical battery message or the drained battery icon, or if it's so dead its screen won't display anything at all, connect it to a power outlet and let it charge for at least half an hour before you test the device again.

If the Kindle still won't charge, then you should first test the power cable in another device and try plugging something else into the outlet to make sure the issue isn't with either of those. Try resetting the Kindle by holding down the power button for at least 20 seconds.

Turn it back on and see if it charges normally. If it still won't take a charge, let it rest for about half an hour while connected to power, then try the reset again. For you.
