One problem that a lot of Fire users have reported, however, is the issue when a Fire will just refuse to turn on. However, there are some things you can do to remedy the situation. In this article, I will give you some troubleshooting procedures to go through to hopefully get your Fire working properly again. There are basically three reasons that a Fire might not turn on: A software problem may have bricked the device fairly unlikely , a hardware component in the tablet may have failed more likely , or finally, something might be wrong with the battery most likely.
A battery problem can be a hardware issue with the battery or a problem with charging the Fire. A dead battery might just have lost power through use; one key cause of a non-functional Fire is battery discharge A. If WiFi or apps are left running without being connected to an outlet, the battery can completely discharge so there is nothing left to power the tablet.
This is not terminal and can be easily fixed. You can also quickly tell if the battery is empty or not. Plug the charger into the wall outlet and attach the Fire. If you see a green light, the battery is charging. Leave it a couple of hours and then retest. If you see a red light, the battery has been completely drained. The light should change from red to green as the battery charges.
If your battery is green, it should now turn on and boot as you would expect it to. If the light remains red, change from the outlet to USB charging from a computer to make sure the charger is working properly. A green light means the battery still has charge but the device itself has become unresponsive. Holding down the power button for that long forces a shutdown and then reboots the Fire. Thanks who ever you are it really worked after other proven methods were not working anymore this time around.
My kindle Fire has gone dead and all my efforts to revive it have failed. Show 34 more comments. Probably the number one reason Kindle Fire KF devices lock-up is because the battery discharges.
When using a wifi connection you should connect the KF to a power supply outlet or USB port on a PC computer, or use the KF only for a short period of time when away from a power source. When the battery runs down it will usually cause a lock-up. Simply connect the KF to a power supply source and recharge the device. It is best to turn off the device and let it charge.
If it is locked up, you will need to hold the on-off button for seconds to turn it off. A red light at the on-off button shows the battery is discharged. A green light means the battery is fully charged. It is a good idea to charge the battery for at least four hours before using it again without a connection to a power supply source.
Always check to see that you are disconnected from the wifi when operating off the battery supply except for short periods of time, otherwise when the battery runs low the KF will more than likely lock-up. I have the same problem and I keep trying to hold the button for 30 sec and it's not working. My kf hasn't turned on for about a week and I tried charging it thinking it was dead and that didn't work either.
I don't know what to do :'. If the green light is on or the battery icon shows it as being charged, it is unlikely the battery. If it turns on, but locks up it should still show the clock running. I had a similar problem with my Kindle Fire. It was constantly locking up on me. It would work fine for awhile, and then it would lock up and I would not use it for a period of time.
It was really frustrating because it is like carrying my library of books and apps with me for ready use whenever I needed them.
I searched the Internet and discovered that a lot of people have reported the same problem with their Kindle Fire devices locking up on them, even the newer models. It is a marvelous toy when it works, but when it locks up it really gets frustrating. I'm sure Amazon and other websites have appropriate anti-virus programs checking the various books and apps that are filtered through their servers, but I have come to the conclusion that some of the freebies with ads or trial programs may be the culprit because every time I download one of those programs, especially games my KF locks up on me at some point.
It is possible that some of those freebies have malware, viruses, Trojans, or other similar programs that could be the cause of some of these lockups.

I had a problem similar to yours but all I had to do was hold the power button down for about 15 seconds then let and start pressing it repeatedly and my kindle came back on. Not working for me either. I know the battery is fully charged. It was on, then locked up. Finally got it to shut off, then nothing. I tried plugging it back in, and don't even get the tone that it is charging.
I tried 15 seconds, 30 seconds, even a full minutes and still getting nothing. This is my 3rd kindle.
This did it for me. I had been holding it down. I started pressing power repeatedly after reading this and it came on. Show 6 more comments. Lydia Andersen. My fire device would not turn on after charging all night long. I did all the trouble shooting in this blog. Tried the knife method, tried 30s, tried volume down Tried this, slapping the front then the back and it turned on after pressing the power button. Thank you!
Fire would not turn on at all even after being charged overnight, whilst on charge to mains power it would repeatedly flash up the Amazon screen, but go no further, so could not do a soft reset or hard rest, charge light would not show as green or red, despite it being left it charging overnight to mains power. So I was on the verge of giving up and throwing in the bin and got to this post - the good old 'give it a hit'!
Laid it screen down on a flat surface and gave it a very hard slap with flat hand, and as if by magic, the device has now switched on as normal!
I should add, this is the kids version with the protective rubber sleeve, but all the same it does get bashed around so this probably does not help its life expectancy at all! January 29 by Seumas Morrison. March 18 by Shola Samuels. May 11 by Linda Myers.

I suggest trying out a charger somewhere to see if this is the problem before getting any new parts. Had the same thing! I tried plugging it into the wall socket and got the green symbol but didn't leave it plugged in. Tried again, just legt it plugged in and noe it's charhing!!
It stores information on memory IC's. Most likely not an easy DIY'er job. I would start with the battery. You can use a multimeter and see what power you have on it and if it charges by checking on the battery contacts with a multimeter while plugging it in. Samantha d. I tried the on button for fifteen seconds but it still wont come on. It has a light screen not black. It would be unfair to point fingers to any one of them before inspection of each device.
