Amazon Fire HD 8: Frozen on fire screen

Sun, 31 Jan 2021 09:50:51 -0700

My son's kindle fire HD 8 was working fine last night. He turned it on this morning and it is now stuck on the fire logo screen. I have tried holding down the power button multiple times for all the seconds recommend. I have tried the power and volume down button and restarting it from there. I have tried leaving it plugged in. I am now at a loss of what to do. Help please. We just got Wi-Fi yesterday and now he can't use it.

My Kindle worked fine one day and the next am was stuck on the fire screen. Two days later, my Mom's Kindle did the same thing. Both are charged and no matter how many times I press the power and volume buttons; it always returns to the fire screen.

Amazon Fire HD 8: (SX034QT) How the heck does the motherboard come out of this thing?

Sat, 04 May 2019 10:06:36 -0700

Got the digitizer off and the back off. I need to remove the mobo for cleaning. I found and removed four screws and the camera but I cannot get the motherboard out. It feels like there’s another screw or perhaps some adhesive but I’m already putting more pressure on the mobo than I’m comfortable with and it’s not budging at all. The top-right side (as seen in the pic below) lifts up off the frame about a centimeter, but the top-left side lifts barely a millimeter. What’s the secret?

Amazon Fire HD 8: Where can I get a Amazon Fire HD 8 screen replacement?

Mon, 14 Aug 2017 04:57:19 -0700

The guide seems to be sufficient for replacing the screen. But where do I get one? I asked the amazon.de support already, but it seems Amazon itself doesn't provide any replacement pieces for the Amazon Fire HD8.

Amazon Fire HD 8: Replaced battery but screen wont work

Mon, 26 Oct 2020 22:38:57 -0700

I followed your guide to replace the battery on my Kindle Fire HD 8. The "reverse order" wasn't clear but with some research I thought I put everything in the correct place, including the orange strip that attaches to the screen. But the screen will not turn on. The tablet makes noises for notifications, charging and changing the volume, but the screen will not turn on.

Are there any suggestions or more detailed fix it guides that you can give me?

Amazon Fire HD 8: Amazon Fire Tablet Backlight isn't working

Tue, 10 Mar 2020 03:52:56 -0700

Amazon Fire Tablet HD 8”: Screen, touch, sound and power works as I could see what was on the screen at a certain angle with my own light source and slide the brightness slider which quite interestingly did absolutely nothing.

I reset the tablet with the power+volume button but that didn’t help. Haven’t done a factory reset as I assume this is a hardware issue. Worked fine for 7 months until I posted this question.

I assume that the backlight is broken and perhaps the only solutions are to replace the screen or to get a new tablet.

Posting this question in case other people get this specific issue and if there might be a simple solution to this.

Amazon Fire HD 8: My listeners on Zoom can't hear me properly. The sound is breaking up.

Sun, 09 Apr 2023 14:55:26 -0700

I can hear all the speakers on my Zoom group but they tell me that when I speak, it's breaking up and becomes unintelligible. This has only happened the last few times.

Amazon Fire HD 8: Amazon Fire HD 8 Broken LCD

Sat, 05 Jan 2019 19:28:02 -0700

I have an Amazon Fire HD 8” 7th Generation that has been dropped a few times and has a small crack on the corner of the screen. It has continued to work fine up until today when I turned it on and the screen lit up with colorful cracks and lines. The touch screen works fine and even launched Alexa when I accidentally clicked on it, but you can’t make out any of the images or icons because the pixels are completely distorted.

Do I need to replace the screen or the LCD panel? Where can I find replacement parts for my device?

Please help me!
