Kindle 4: Kindle will not switch on

Tue, 28 Apr 2020 11:05:50 -0700

my kindle was fine when I switched it off, but will not turn on again. I have tried this with the mains connection on & off. When pressing the on/off button, the green light comes on, briefly, then --- nothing!

The charging light seems to work, but the kindle will simply not boot! Any suggestions?

Kindle 4: Why wont my kindle Charge

Wed, 15 Jan 2020 10:58:28 -0700

Hi,

My kindle has been out of use for a while now. Last time I used it it was faultless. I have pulled it out to load a book and it is showing the charge picture on the screen. When I connect the charger it illuminates with a orange light but then after 30 seconds changes to a green light. After being on charge for a full night it is still showing the charge picture on the screen and it will not turn on. HELP
