Causes And Solutions To Resolve Kindle Working Problems - 

Below are some reasons for your Kindle not working. Read them carefully and follow the guidelines to resolve these issues;

1. Battery problem in Kindle device:

·         Plug your device into a charging source. A green light should appear at the bottom of your Kindle when it has fully charged. 

·         If it isn’t fully charged, you will see an amber indicator. 

·         If your device is not charging, you may need to replace the charging cable.

·         You can plug in your micro USB cable to your tablet or smartphone to see if your Kindle is not charging.

·         If that fails, the problem could lie with the battery itself.

2.            Perform soft reset on your Kindle device:

·         Open your Kindle Cover and press the power button (which is normally located on the bottom, but could also be found on the back).

·         Keep pressing till a dialogue box or black screen appears.

·         For 40 seconds, hold on and then let go.

·         Your Kindle will reboot after a few seconds. 

·         Do not be alarmed if your screen flashes during this process because this is normal.

·         It is crucial that your Kindle is refreshed every now and again, just as it is important that your laptop or desktop computer is fully turned off. 

·         It won't erase any data or alter your settings so you can do it as many times as you want.

3.            Factory reset Kindle device:

·         If your Kindle battery has been fully charged and is functional, but the device still freezes up despite a soft reboot, it might be worth wiping it clean and restoring the factory settings.

·         Select MENU from the home screen. 

·         Next, select SETTINGS. 

·         You can then choose the RESET DEVICE option. 

·         These steps will vary depending on the model of the Kindle tablet or Kindle. 

·         If you're unsure, look for the three vertical dots at the top-right corner of your homepage. 

·         These should link to your settings.

[Important Note: A factory reset will remove all content from your device. However, you will be able to redownload your apps, free eBooks, and your best eBook titles either from the Cloud or from your Amazon library. You will need to enter your WiFi connection again, as well as any parental controls that you have set up.]
