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.

Kindle Fire HD 8: Charger must be bent at a certain angle to actually charge device

Fri, 29 Jul 2022 14:37:12 -0700

I’ve tried multiple chargers with it but they all do the same thing. If I want the device to charge, i have to bend the charger toward the screen which could damage the charger and the charging port.

I have no idea what’s wrong with it, so help would be nice :)

Amazon Fire HD 8: Why is my Kindle stuck on fire screen?

Sun, 17 Mar 2024 08:28:44 -0700

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.

Kindle Fire HD 8: Why did the screen stop working when it fell from less than a foot?

Mon, 25 May 2020 21:44:26 -0700

First of all, I don't know the exact model of my Amazon Kindle so the device may not be entirely accurate (yes this is kind of a throw away email because I don't have a main google account and I did sign up specifically for this question but I really want/need help). When I was going to pick my device up (no screen protector of any kind), it slipped from my hands and it got dropped less than a foot. I have dropped it before farther with no issues other than some cracks on the screen and no new crack appeared, but once I turned it on the screen only displayed black with some flickering and multicolored lines. I tried hitting the back of it and dropping it from short distances and holding the power button and while I have made some progress fixing it I'm having no further luck. Now around a third of the screen (bottom right corner) displays normally other than some shacking but the rest is still completely broken (the right section of the screen can be different colors but it's usually mostly a solid color). Both the volume and power buttons still work because even though I can't see the pop ups from them, they still make the same sound as normal. I took a picture of what it looks like while on and I have also taken one of how it looks while off to show the previous cracks on the screen. I'm wondering if there's any way to fix it at all. Thanks.

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?

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.

Hi, I am trying to repair a screen of a kindle fire for someone, but I think I messed up. I checked some YouTube channels and when they finally remove their screen, there is nothing to be seen around the edges. However when a bit of the screen I am trying to repair broke off, I can see stuff underneath, shown in the pictures. Did I go to far beyond the screen. Have I messed this up?

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?
