Make sure that the kindle is fully charged. When charging the kindle 3 will have a yellow light indicating that it is charging. When this turns green, your kindle is fully charged. Make sure your kindle is fully charged and then try turning it back on.

SOURCE: My Kindle Screen was frozen.

Make sure the device is charged and then slide and hold the on switch for several seconds. This will switch the kindle off (not just put it to stand-by as with a short flip of the switch).
If it was off already, or after the above procedure, the same slide-and-hold will switch it on again (this may take like a minute or so).

If the software just hung and there is no electrical or mechanical defect, the kindle should be ready again

Touch feature for my Kindle Fire HD is not working. I may have accidentally changed the setting? How do I fix it?

Hello Friend...

Many issues with your Kindle Touch, such as a frozen screen or issues with downloading content, can be solved by restarting your device.
1.Press and hold the Power button for a full 40 seconds.
After the first 6 to 8 seconds, the screen will go blank, which is normal. Continue holding the Power button.
2.After the 40 seconds, release the Power button.
The charge indicator light will turn on after a few seconds.

My Kindle screen is blank. When I try to turn it on, the green light goes on, then off, and the screen stays blank.

The best thing to do is contact amazon.com, place cursor on Your Account, click your account at top of list. on the right you should see Kindle Help Home; click it and it will bring up info about your kindle. On the far left in a box is CONTACT US. Fill out the form and choose how they should contact you. If you leave your phone they will call back and talk you through how to fix the problem. They may ask the return so they can work on it. Amazon help is always free. You only pay if you have to return it.

Screen frozen. Push reset screen goes blank and will not turn on. Put in charger and back to the frozen screen.

Try again. Make sure Kindle is charged. Hold down the on button until you see the fire logo. This usually works.

My Kindle went blank with almost a white screen tho fully charged and now wont turn on at all. Have followed Amazon's suggestions but nothing works. Can you help?

Chances are your screen went defunct. Or it could be a problem with some other piece of hardware. You can try using the USB cord to plug it into the USB port on a laptop or desktop and see if the computer can read the files. If it can display and explore folders and files, chances are it's the screen (display) that went south. It it can't display and read folders and files chances are it's the memory or some other internal hardware that died. Sadly these things are cheaper to replace than to repair. I have a Kindle II with a faded out display. It works but the text is so light that it's barely readable so I retired it. I have a Kindle Touch that I dropped and the screen broke so I ended up getting a Kindle Paper White and I like it the best of them all.

My Kindle Screen was frozen. Managed after 1 hour to actually get to a blank screen and now its a permanent blank screen. Nothing is working.

Make sure the device is charged and then slide and hold the on switch for several seconds. This will switch the kindle off (not just put it to stand-by as with a short flip of the switch).
If it was off already, or after the above procedure, the same slide-and-hold will switch it on again (this may take like a minute or so).
