Melody you may have to go to settings and select brightness and increase. I hope this helps you. Thank you and let me know

I'm not an expert but I'd say it's been jarred in some way. Best thing is to contact Amazon customer service. sign on to amazon.com Below the search bar you'll see help on the right. Click on that, then device support. Fill out info and submit. Personally I expect they will say send it in for repairs/replacement.

Go to account settings. Select manage payment methods. Should be able to add or remove card.
Contact Amazon at.

You will have to register the new device (your wifes) to your existing kindle account..
You can do this from your menu settings. Turn the kindle on you want to register press the menu button. After you add device you can share books.
If you do not see the register device option in your settings, you will have to access your account online.Hope this helped.

Here is the secret: Touch the book you want to delete and HOLD it down until a menu shows up. I will, towards the bottom, offer to "remove this book from your Kindle". Simple, eh?

Is there an option on the log in page for either forgot password, or cant access my account...Or contact amazon at [email protected] should take you where you can reset your password. I hope this helps. Ellen

Press the button next to the space bar- the one that says Aa. Then, on 'Font Size", scroll left and right to the size you wish. Note: You must be reading a book while doing this for it to work. For a picture of where the Aa button is, click this: http://www.google.com/imgres?um=1&hl=en&sa=N&biw=1600&bih=775&tbm=isch&tbnid=K8x72vU5D2yrQM:&imgrefurl=http://kathyhassinger.com/2010/09/kindle-for-kathy/&docid=u3O9-I6VzVtERM&imgurl=http://kathyhassinger.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/KindleKeyboard.jpg&w=500&h=323&ei=w1MCT_2YHIjh0QHkz73OAg&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=692&vpy=164&dur=215&hovh=180&hovw=279&tx=114&ty=101&sig=105901741043947840082&page=1&tbnh=121&tbnw=188&start=0&ndsp=21&ved=1t:429,r:3,s:0

Hi.

What you call 'password' is the network key that has been set for your local network.

It is a problem with the capital and with special characters. The problem depends both on the network key used and on Kindle's.

First :ensure that you are using the right network key for this router. If a different computer works with this key on same router, then it is the right one.

Second: try the following. It is a solution from this site. The workaround will get rid of the capital problem with Kindle. I quote:

"Turn on kindly, bring up Wi-fi networks, tap in the network key from the label on the bottom of the router.
HERE is the trick. When you press the Aa (large capital/small capital AA key, to the right of the space bar, it actually does not go to uppercase when typing in key, you have to use the shift arrow, (bottom left hand corner of keypad).
Type in the key..., move to submit, it should connect fine".

Third: If that does not work, then the network key may include characters not supported by kindle. If possible access the router using a LAN cable, and set the router to a key made only by ciphers with no letter, and set the new key on kindle, PC etc. to connect.

Regards.

Ginko.

Four reasons come to mind that may prevent you from connecting:

1. Wi-Fi Passwords are case sensitive. Please check again if you entered the password with proper casing and you did not put any extra white space in front or behind. I know, this sounds annoying, but it is really the most common cause for connection problems.
2. Give your network a unique SSID. This is the network name that shows up in the list of detected networks. Default names like LINKSYS can be troublesome if a neighbor one block down the street happens to have a router from the same company.
3. Some routers have a MAC address filter as a security measure, limiting service to devices specifically whitelisted. If your router is set up for this, add your Kindle's MAC address to the list of permitted devices. See your router's configuration under Wireless > Wireless MAC Filter. You can check the MAC of your Kindle from its settings page (press HOME, MENU, select SETTINGS, see paragraph headlined "Device Info".
   
4. There are twelve different standards for Wi-Fi transmission collected under the hood IEEE 802.11. The four most dominant transmission modes are called a, b, g and n. They differ in radio frequency, modulation method and data rate. Kindle supports the two standards IEEE 802.11 b and g only, which is not really a problem because all wireless routers I ever encountered support one or both of these, too. However, the Linksys N-series can be set up to use 802.11n exclusively, not allowing for b or g connections. In the router menu Wireless > Basic Wireless Settings (Manual Setup), make sure the network mode is configured as "Mixed".

Please add a comment to this solution if one of these items resolved your problem. If you suffered from a different issue I did not think of, it would be nice to drop me a line, too. Other people will benefit from any experience you made.

If the 15 second reset does not work, I would suggest contacting amazon. They can connect to your device and see if there is something wrong with your actual kindle. If there is something wrong they are usually pretty good about replacing broken kindled :)

Make sure that the kindle is fully charged. Plug your kindle into the wall charger, a yellow light will light up. When the yellow light turns green, your kindle is fully charged. Then try turning on your device. If the device still does not turn on, hold the power switch for 15 seconds, this will reboot the device.

Welcome to Fixya

Try to reset the device by following the procedure below. If screen will not go back then there is definitely a problem with the LCD.

1. Remove your Kindle 3 from the power source if it's connected.
2. Slide the power switch to the right and hold it there.
3. Count to 15 as if you're counting seconds, and remember to hold switch in-place for for 15 seconds.
4. Release the switch now.
5. At this point nothing will happen, but don't panic. That's normal. The screen will be blank for 30 seconds, and then the Kindle will restart.

The lighted version gets power for the light from the hooks used to attach the device to the cover. Early versions of the non-lighted cover are reported to interfere with the hidden power connectors.

You can find out, by removing the cover and see if the problem goes away.

If you feel your Kindle suffers from this problem, contact Amazon Kindle customer support (go to HERE, click on "Kindle Support" in the upper right and on the next page find the "Contact us" button). According to other customers who had the same issue, Amazon replaces the faulty non-lighted cover for a lighted one at no extra costs.
