A combination of both these things have stopped me from being able to get some very sentimental files off of the device. I've read the relevant repair guides, but I'm very inexperienced with this sort of thing and I'm afraid of doing something wrong and potentially damaging the device further. Is there an alternate way for me to get what I want?

Original battery was a nuisance to get out, but I successfully installed a new one and reassembled it.


Upon turning on I am greeted briefly with the kindle fire logo in faded blue/green, and then it transitions to the regular beige and orange kindle fire logo with the shimmer effect. It just stays on this screen and never progresses. It’s not quite a ‘boot loop’ as it is not turning off and on again.

I have tried various related suggestions on the internet, but want to hear from the crowd once more. Thanks.

I have tried soft and hard resetting but holding the power button down for 40 seconds does not reboot it, and when the screen turns off, holding the volume down and power button at the same time just puts the logo back on my screen. This is very frustrating!

Can anybody please help with why I can’t even soft or hard reset?

Neither of us have any idea what the password might be, but need to factory reset it before I try to sell it.

Anyone have a way to wipe it clean without a PC password?

Before (Which I should gotten fixed , was that the screen was loose, so anytime I had the tablet, the screen would turn into that static like TV and it would be all jumbled. I "fixed' it by bending the screen back into place and it would be normal again. Bend it back too far where my touchscreen won't move or slide. The only thing that was responsive was on the upper right corner where I could move it. I didn't mess with it until I looked online about connecting a Bluetooth mouse and otg cable for the mouse. I tested USB on my tablet, no cursor was showing so I switched it with my other tablet and the cursor showed up. Is there anyway to get data of my tablet. I also have a security pin number for the kindle fire before I'm in the silk browser homepage.  Is there any way to connect my kindle to my computer and get data off there like remote access/emulator>
