Patricia, Using the power switch, you can forcibly reset your Kindle device. This reset will shut down the Kindle without accessing the shutdown command from within the Kindle's operating system, a particularly useful tool when dealing with a frozen Kindle. To initiate a hard shutdown, Kindle disconnect from its charger, slide and hold the power switch for about 20 seconds. This will force the Kindle to shut down, now it can be restarted normally.

Troubleshooting Kindle Fire That Won Charge

Kindle Fire not charging

9 common problems with the Kindle Fire HD and how to fix them

It could be the charger itself. Try taking the USB cable out of the charger and plug it into your computer, then plug in the Kindle. Your computer's USB port should be able to charge it. If it still doesn't charge, you might have a bigger issue with the tablet itself.

Does the kindle work when you have it plugged in? It could be that the charging port is broken. These models are notorious for broken charging ports.

First off, I've had 5+ of that type of kindle. Each time the screen was cracked causing the screen to not turn on. If you see any lines this is definitely your problem. If so, you can either replace the screen or replace the kindle.

Not all computer USB ports put out enough current to charge batteries. Try another port on the computer, if there is one. If you're going through a USB hub, remove it and connect the Kindle directly to the computer. If you have access to an AC-USB charger (one that plugs into a wall outlet instead of a computer), try using that.

You didn't specify the model of your Kindle, but the user guide for my Kindle states that it must be turned off to charge.

It is possible that your Kindle Fire's battery has died. If you noticed the battery life diminishing before it wouldn't turn on at all this may be the case. Here is a site that has replacement batteries for the Kindle Fire:

Sounds like your power cord is dead and that it's not charging. If it's new bring it back to the store you bought it from and get a new one.
