However, a month ago it started having charging problems again. We contacted Amazon and they reimbursed us for a new power adapter and that did the trick. My son’s Fire had hanging problems after one month. Not sure what the issue was, but it looked like it might have been a bad disk sector. I noticed that there were other logs from other dates, but it appears a normal reboot was enough to fix those issues. Appears there was an issue trying to boot up, but a normal reboot would not fix it and a recovery reboot was needed to do the repair it.

Then, given I’m a retired software QA engineer, I reboot to the recovery menu and looked at the recovery logs. So I powered it off and back on, and it booted up in the normal time, so everything seems to be okay. Tried that and it restarted successfully, although it did take much longer than usual.

I got a the ‘Amazon system recovery’ menu, which had a series of prompts, the first of which was to “reboot system now”. However I did NOT get a message that said “Installing latest software”. Restore Latest Software, With the Fire off, press and hold the “Volume Up” button, then press “Power” for 45 seconds to turn the Fire on.”. Please help, this is really annoying now!!

The most frustrating aspect is the only way I can stay in contact with my long-distance boyfriend is via the Kik messaging app on my tablet, due to him living in a different country to me and I can’t afford a new tablet right now, unless I sell some of my possessions :/ Being poor sucks! Holding down the volume/ power button doesn’t do anything, that was working, but now it doesn’t.

Is it a software, battery, or charging port issue that is common with Amazon Fire tablets?

I did accidently crack the screen, a few years ago. It now won’t even turn on, it doesn’t show the Amazon Fire logo. It was becoming very hot, while I was trying to charge it, it is slow to recharge the battery and then the battery drains very quickly while I use the tablet. This has happened before when the battery was completely dead, but it was fine after I recharged it.Ĭharged the battery.

I have used different charging cables, different charging plugs, a different extension lead, or plugged it into the socket in the wall, but nothing works. I chose to reboot the system and it hasn’t worked since at all. It wasn’t fully charged (maybe 40%-50% charged) It eventually turned itself off, and every time I tried to turn it back on again, it would turn itself off, due to the battery being completely dead, so I tried to recharge it, the amazon/fire logo was displayed but it kept loading the Amazon Fire logo. I was using the tablet to look at and other websites, the tablet crashed and was unresponsive. I have a 7th generation Amazon Fire tablet, that I have had for a few years. This post applies to 5th through 8th Gen Amazon Fire devices such as the HD7, HD8, and HD10. If you’ve discovered something that else that helps, or are still struggling, please post a detailed story below in the comments section. Hopefully one of these tips above worked.

Wait for the installation to complete, and hopefully you can enjoy using the device again.

Continue to hold “ Volume Up” until you see a message that says “ Installing the latest software“.

With the Fire off, press and hold the “ Volume Up” button, then press “ Power” for 45 seconds to turn the Fire on.

I have no idea why this works, but it does.

I tried holding the “ Volume Down” button while pressing “ Power” for about 5 seconds. I personally have experienced a few occasions where my Fire will not turn on. Wait for the Fire to charge from the wall outlet for about 20 minutes before trying to turn it on. Plug the Fire into a wall outlet as a power supplied from another device like a computer may not be enough to get it going. Simply tapping the button will not turn it on.Įnsure that the Amazon Fire has a charged battery. Ensure that you are holding down the “ Power” button for at least 5 seconds to power it on normally.
