Your tips worked. Mine did after 2 days. Charged for almost 8 hrs. Then I left it alone for a day. Then followed your tips. After the 4th try, it opened automatically and is now charging normally. For kindle owners, do not let your device's battery run empty. That's what happened to mine.
Me too ;( I am just starting the procedure. I hope it works... my fault for letting my Kinkle dead while read a real paper book.
Thank you. You gave me the answer. To revive lithium batteries just apply some heat and low voltage source. ;) it'll be up an running in less than five minutes.
Please help me, I let my kindle's battery run empty and now it does not work
@@AlanLarawalktheearth I stuck my kindle in the oven with the light on. 101F for 20 minutes. It turned on almost immediately when I plugged it in warm.
It fucking worked!!!
@@harleybreeden4777 😂😂😂😂😂
It's great you didn't edit out all the failed attempts. If I didn't see the proper level of resilience required to restart a kindle, I'd definitely stop trying long before your fix finally worked. Thanks a lot!
I am never letting it die again haha
Me too. Yes, thanks for your help. My elderly mom was devastated that he Kindle was 'broken'.
"- Hey I wanna read something...
-Okey Just push 40 secs and wait 7 hours
-Sure!"
Tried. At 3rd attempt the kindle has eventually flew in the parking slot 8 floors underneath my window.
Lol
🤣🤣
So your the one that threw that at me!!!
me rn
😂😂
Another satisfied customer here. Done all 3 things - changed charging cable, switched from power adapter to laptop USB port, and in 15 min intervals kept pressing for 40 seconds. Took me about 5-6 attempts and it came back to life! If I had not seen your video I would've just laughed at anyone suggesting this method... Thank you!
I don't usually comment on videos, but as skeptical as I was, this fix really worked. I tried it around 6 months ago, and it frustrated me to no end and I gave up. Today, I decided to try this fix again one last time before I bought a new kindle, and after around 7 tries of 40 second holds, the screen lit up. after your 5th time, you might get really frustrated, but it eventually works. Took me around 2 hours and 30 minutes today in total.
Thanks for the fix!
This toturial teaches patience as well as perseverance, it worked for me.
Thank you.
THANK YOU! I honestly thought that I'd never be able to turn this on again. After almost 2 years of non-use - I was just going to e-cycle it, but thought I'd give it one more go. Your video was the first to keep me motivated to keep trying the reset - and amazingly enough - after 6-7 tries, and waiting about 15 minutes into my first 20 minute cycle, it started! 🎉
The self, same! My Kindle's been sitting dormant in my basement since... God, summer of 2019? Three years of non-use, and I was positive it was done (hell I was ready to order a batter replacement kit from NewPower99, for crying out loud), but after the first reboot attempt it fired back up! Thank God for RUclips tutorials - now to find one on how to factory reset a Kindle.
Do you see the orange light? When i charge it i cant see the orange light turn on
How long did u charge before trying
I didn’t get an orange light when charging from wall socket but I changed the cable and plugged into laptop that was plugged into power socket and the orange light came on. I’ve had a few goes now at holding button down and now doing the first 20min charge and had some flickering so there are signs of life! If you haven’t already in the last months 😊 then maybe try switching cable and outlet!
Just to add that it came on by itself about 10 min into the second cycle of charging for 20min.
Saved my Kindle. Really owe you one brother.
I talked to customer care they said it's irreparable and I should discard it and buy a new one. Well I know who is getting a finger😂
Kudos brother thank you soo much.
Exactly. They only want you to buy another one. 🖕🏻
Hey I tried to get it serviced from Amazon too! They told the same thing, that i had to discard my kindle! Got it working luckily!
Or, you can replace the battery! There's videos showing how, but make sure you get the right battery.
OMG Unbelievable! Aged Kindle. Worked on the 2nd attempt! I had a new one in my Amazon basket and now you’ve saved me over £120 for a new basic one! Grateful thanks from a woman stuck overseas on her own who needs a book to read!
Wife: *Wants divorce*
Me: Well, let's give it 40 seconds and see if it works out, if it doesn't, just give it another 40 seconds and then we can give it 20 minutes and see if another 40 seconds will do the trick.
Metaphysically, this video gives the true method to achieving anything in life... Hard time learning a language? Just give it intermittent time periods of 40 seconds, 20 minutes, and 8 hours, and eventually you WILL achieve your goal... Eventually.
Anyway this seems to be working so thanks ♥
Man how did you find deep lore in this kindle tutorial
you made my day XD
Amazing 😂😂
Jajajqjqkqjqkqkqkkqkakajajajajq
your sharing this experience seems more valuable than all book read on my kindle
This video was a big help. I’m probably one of the very fortunate ones here. I did the 40 second reboot twice, and then the load screen jumped on. Thanks!
I want to thank you, you saved me with your clear and simple explanation. as soon as I transferred my kindle to charge on my lap top and when I changed the charger I used, it took only 30 min to start charging again. for two days I had been using different wall chargers and waiting for hours, but nothing helped. I was a little desperate. your video is the first thing that was clear and fully explanatory. once again, thank you!
Thank you very much, I had been charging for over 24 hrs and I really thought it was dead for good. The reboot worked on the 3rd try. Many thanks
Brought my Kindle Paperwhite back to life. I rebooted a couple of times and then Kindle splash screen came on about 20 minutes into the charge. I haven't used it in several years. Found it easier to use Kindle on my iPhone.
Thank you so much! I was about to give up but this really really helped. I did the 40 seconds every 20 minutes for 2 days (!!!) and I left it charging at night, and it worked! The thing is that now it's back, if I let it charge a bit more it starts lowing the battery, but at least it's working again
My Kindle is my lifeline, so you could imagine the shock I was in when it didn't respond, I tried resetting it 3-4 times without plugging it in, but two hours after plugging it in to my laptop and it miraculously survived! Thank you so much for the tutorial! For a second there I actually thought I might have to buy a new battery (according to the amazon help centre)! Thank you again!
Kept trying and trying took about 6 attempts and was charging for 2 hours before it eventually came on. Thank you so much
The most helpful video after so many crappy ones. 👏👏 Thank you so much!! It took about 4/5 times using your every 20 minutes method. Thanks again! 😍
This work so well! Only took about 3 tries after leaving it for 20 minutes. Thank you! You are a lifesaver.
OMG THIS WORKED. The orange light didn't even blink in the first 2 hours and I thought I could never read my fav kindle books, but THIS WORKS THANK YOU SO MUCH
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing and expecting different results.
"Practice makes perfect."
Yes, that is why I did not think my kindle would restart but thanks to this video I kept trying and eventually it rebooted :-)
sometimes only insanity works!
Unless you're dealing with technology. Then that's par for the course.
That worked for me, thanks! Mine sat on the charger overnight. The battery light was green but it still had the error icon. I tried the 40-second reset about 6 times, including once plugged into a laptop. Then after about 5 minutes plugged into the laptop, it reset itself just like yours did.
After I plugged it into my laptop I tried the 40 seconds technique a couple of times (20 mins apart) and it worked. Thank you for this video 🦾
Worked! Thank you so much...
I have a year old kindle paperwhite 10th Gen which I haven't used in last 6 months. After watching the video, I charged my device from a wall outlet for around a day, and tried opening as shown for 6-8 times in total. Eventually the kindle started by itself after 5 minutes of my last attempt.
I had charged it overnight before finding your video, and had tried the restart button many times over the last 12 hours or so. finally switched cords and it rebooted within minutes. Which I probably would not have done without you saying to try it, so thanks!
THANK YOU!!! This totally worked, patience is definitely key! Took me a couple of hours to get it going.
Thank a lot. Tried the 40 seconds without the computer and nothing happened but it worked beautifully when connected. You’re a genius! 😊
This has just worked for me on my first try. I’d pressed the button to reset but not for the magic 40 seconds. Thank you very much!
It works! First 2 times nothing happened. I walked away for a couple of hours, and it's now at 72%!! Thank you Thank you!
The key here is be patient. After a bunch of trying this it worked! Thank you!
Wow! Thank you for sharing this. Took a few tries, but it's up and running!
I honestly have never left a comment on RUclips until today. Your tutorial saved me. May you have a wonderful day ahead, Sir!
Thank you! I left my kindle on a shelf for 2 months and was worried that it had broken completely.
Thank you! Not only was I able to revive my Oasis, which I thought was dead, but I was also able to bring back a Paperwhite that had been in a drawer for over two years, which I also thought was dead. I sent back the new Kindle I had ordered which I didn't like anyway, not thrilled with the updates on the Oasis 10. You saved me over $200!
You ordered new reader just because the old one had an empty battery?
@@petr-nagy No, it wasn't just that the battery needed to be charged. It had a strange icon showing and wouldn't charge through the outlet. I assumed the Kindle was dead until I tried charging through the computer.
Been more than a year without using it,I was hopeless ! I followed your method and after plugging the kindle on my laptop for about 2hours, the device turned on by itself. 🙏
Thank you so much
Worked for me. Initially I thought it was hopeless, this method. While pressing, the screen was going from Batterry to blank and off to blank and lit, then back to batterry, each cycle about ten seconds. And as soon I released the button, back to Batterry. No chance, I thought. I watched other interesting stuff on YT, then glanced at the Kindle: it was rebooting!!! Thanks!!!
Thanks a lot for this video. I got really scared when my new kindle was all frozen and later with that weird battery icon, but your video was exactly on point! Thanks for emphasizing the need to wait and try again. Mine took like 20 minutos to come back to life and I would have stopped trying if not for the way you showed the process. Many many thanks! :)
Holy crap this worked!!! Thank you! Mine hadn’t been charged for probably 3 years. And I want to use it by the pool this summer. 🎉🙌🏻
Plugging it into the computer instead of a wall charger is what made the difference! Thanks!
I just tried and worked really fast. It had been plugged to the wall for 2 days, and I had tried resetting, but your tip of plugging it to the computer did the trick after 3 tries of rebutting! Thanks a lot
Tried about 15 times! Resilience is the key! Thank you!
Does any one know what a flashing yellow light id
@@mierlevine7366 it means that the charger has aborted the charge as the battery may no longer be capable of taking a charge and must be replaced. However try replacing the charger because it could be at fault, If the yellow light flashes after that ,you'll need to either replace the battery in your Kindle or the Kindle itself.
I tried every tutorial online and nothing worked. So i opened the kindle, disconnected the battery from the board for 72 hours then assemble the kindle again and put in the charge. It worked.
We call that a hard reset
Sadly only pushing the start button several times for 40 mins didn't help but after plugging my kindle into my laptop it took 4 attempts within 30 minutes and it started to work again! Thanks for the tips!! Really appreciated x
Thank you so much! I got off with Amazon tech support this morning and tried hard resetting with different cables and plugs several time to no avail and we thought it was a lost cause. After I plugged it into my laptop, it was up and running in 10 to 15 minutes (I think I reset it three times).
Thank you it worked !!!
Worked for me on first attempt 👌🏻
I'm mostly thankful to you; but part of me was looking forward to buying a newer version 😄
Seriously: Many thanks, though!!
this actually worked!!!!! couldn't thank you enough. i thought my kindle was dead forever!
the orange light had turned to green but the screen was still frozen with the battery exclamation, finally tried the 40 secs press a few times before the screen went blank and changed to the usual charging.
It really works on mine. I followed exactly as you said: Hard Reset + hard Thumb Rub on screen, around bezel, Front and back. Waalaa...My Kindle is revived...Thank you so very much
Thank you so much for this tutorial :) this is extremely helpful. I was going to let my Kindle rest in peace before I saw that.
Thanks! I charged it up and then held the power button for 40 seconds to reset it.
Hey karl
Omg u are a lifesaver❤️. It worked for me . I just kept on charging using USB attached to laptap. I tried multiple attempts to reboot but didn't help. I just kept for charging and went to grocery store to bring some stuff and upon coming home I checked the kindle . The kindle name popped up.♥️😁 Thankyou❤️
Thanks for this, it worked! Not sure if it would have just woken up by itself anyway, but this video stopped me panicking because it showed you need a bit of resilience/patience.
Connecting to a laptop idea worked. It's starting to show Orange light now. Earlier, it was blinking while on charge. Fingers crossed.
Did it end up working?
U gonna leave us hanging like that
Thanks, I'm going to give it a try. I left it charging for about 14 hours and it has the orange light and is locked with the battery on the screen. I plugged it into the pc and the pc does not recognize it but it charges with the orange light for hours and hours, but it does not turn on. I learned that I do not have to let it download completely but to connect it to the pc from time to time. With an older model of the Kindle I did not have this problem.
I have to jump into the praises! It totally works!
I didn’t touch my Kindle for almost TWO YEARS people and i managed to turn it on following this video;i started charging on the laptop for three hours trying the restart button and finally i decided to switch to the socket and it started flashing and in 10minutes it turned on. So be patient!
Many thanks for the video!! 🙋🏻♀️🥳
Thank you it worked! Mine was charging for almost two days and I tried holding the button for 40 seconds around 5-6 times and let it charge another night. In the morning it turned on. Thank you!
I rarely like and comment on videos, but I needed to say thank you so much for this! Followed the steps and left it to charge via my laptop overnight and it works now! Left my kindle untouched for months so I was worried I had to say goodbye to it (I don’t stay in the US so returns/repairs by Amazon are not possible). Have a good day!
Thankyou this worked!I thought my Kindle is dead forever.. this is ❤️❤️
*Thank you.
It is not the same as in Urdu, in English it is two seperate words. You're welcome.
Thank you so much!! It works! It took plugging in to the mains and being persistent with the holding on of the button but it finally started charging and is now at 98%. Thank you !
You are a lifesaver, I was on the verge of going back to good old fashioned paper books for a second, thank you!
Thank you so much for sharing this tutorial - had my 'dead' kindle up and running after the third attempt - also learned a valuable life lesson!
Thank you so much! It took me so many attempts and thanks to your video I didn’t give up! I’m wondering if it’s happening because I let the battery completely run out? Thinking I shouldn’t ignore the low battery warnings in the future!
Thanks! This determines way really works!!! I did like 10 continuous press and hold to keep restarting it. After which it doesn't work, I then let it charge via the computer for 30mins and restart again. And it works. I believe everyone kindle will vary on the among of restart. Your way is the clearest for people kindle that has been left sitting for months without charging or using.
I had already tried charging it for long periods of time and hitting the on button for 40 seconds. That didn't work...so I let sit a couple of days before I tried to find another way to get it work. I even considered going to a battery store to replace the internal battery. Then I found your video. Once I plugged mine into my computer it turned on immediately and began charging. Thanks so much!
Worked like magic! after about 8 rounds of restart and 20 minutes connected to the computer.
you saved my Kindle. Thank you so much!
Funcionó perfecto al tercer o cuarto intento. Llevaba 1 mes si usarse el kindle y quedó agotado, aún cargandolo horas no arrancaba hasta que probé lo del video.
Me.paso lo mismo me compré una de segunda mano, una pregunta es normal q tarde tanto en cargar ? Al 100% casi me llevo 7 horas llegar al 90%
Thank you! It worked! I almost gave up after 5 times of 40-sec resets but I kept it charged overnight. I woke up to see that it was already worked!
Thank you! Our two Kindles went silent simultaneously. Your reboot advice saved the day!
After 1 year trying every 20min (including nights) perhaps is time to say goodbye.
You just have to press and hold the power button for 40 seconds.
this really worked. I pressed and held and the kindle eventually restarted. thank you so much!
I followed these directions and got my Kindle to work properly. Very pleased. Thank you!
Swapping the cord did the trick for me, and multiple holding for 40 seconds attempts.
Any suggestions if the orange light isn't coming on?
Me too😢
As explained in video using the cable which came with the Kindle plug it into a computer and leave it for an hour.
I had the same issue. In AC outlet the orange light was not turning on.
Your solution worked for me...started my "new" kindle after being idle a half yr, worked for a few days then battery "!", tried charging overnite, w/ diff cables, did repeated 40 sec reboot per other web suggestions, to no avail. Was starting to pry open to find which battery to replace when your vid popped up. I plugged into surface laptop, did the 40 sec a few times, then started on its own after 5min... battery was 100%, so i think it's the "laptop-40sec reboot" combo that did trick for me... Many thanks!
I struggled a lot to get the charging port replaced. The USB micro pins got broke while inserting the charger. Had to see youtube videos to understand how to dismantle the kindle. I had bought a hot air gun but was not hot enough to melt the port connections. Had to get someone else to remove it using a professional hot air gun. I then had to solder a fresh port.
Initially I suspected the charging to have gone totally bad. Maybe I busted the device! I struggled for 4 hours. I had rebooted many times but to no avail. Until I came across your video and tried something different. When I connected the charge to may macbook pro then suddenly it booted. It saved my day!!
Thank you for this video.
Any ideas for if charging light isn’t coming on?
Did you find a solution? My kindle charging light isn't coming on either.
@@christinee3549 nothing.... i’ve given up and waiting for a sale to get a new one
ManyNamesAnnie I got mine to work... I found a RUclips video that showed if you took the back covering off and disconnected the battery and the reconnected it the charging light would come on and it worked for me. It’s worth a try!
@@Christine8531 could you please send me the link pls ?
My kindle doesn't charge, left it for hours still no orange light
Might help to get a rapid charger instead of Amazon charger. Also/ otherwise try seeing if it'll charge through laptop or pc usb. Make sure the usb cable is the only kindle supplied ie: the thick one . Im having this problem now and it takes patience, oh my kindle just rebooted while writing! Don't misjudge the power of patience! And don't make mistake I made if letting it fully die the battery annnnd haha hold down the power button for 40 seconds. Where there's a will there's a way 😂 good luck!
@@RutherfordNJDrywallRepair hahaha iam glad it worked out for you, i will follow your suggestion asap. Thank you very much!
Mine has no orange light also... did you ever get yours to work? If so, how? Thx in advance
@@brandonhaynes8812 nope, still doesn't work
Mine doesn't have an orange light too 😣 gonna try this out as well
Hey it worked. Charged it for almost 12 hours... Tried the power button a few times but nothing happened, changed the charger... Used a 65W charger for 10 min and tried again... It worked!!
This worked for me. My Kindle DX had been sitting for 4-5 years unused and had the critical battery screen. I put in a new battery but still couldn't get it to come alive. I had left it on a charger for about two days, did all the tricks and no results. After watching this I plugged the USB cable into my computer and left it there for a couple hours. When I came back it was alive! Thank you so much!
Thank you very much!!! This actually worked. It took several attempts, but it finally rebooted
I charged for 6 hrs then tried turning it on, it didn't work. Then, found this video, tried the 40s press, it worked! Thanks!
THANK YOU so much! It took me 4 tries doing exactly what you said to do! When it came back, it was at 9%. YOU are a treasure!!!
Worked on 4th try. Didn't have to change cable or wait 20 minutes. Thank you!
Thank you! Your tips worked and I got my kindle back, luckily. Thought I was going to have to replace it
Thanks very much, my Kindle was up and running again in a very short time after trying your advice.
Thank you so so much!! It worked within minutes of using a new cable and on my laptop. It was so bewildering as we have only had it for 14months. My hubby uses it daily.
My kids' kindle did this after not being used for months. Charged it all day and still dis this. Plugged it into a wall socket with 3 different plugs, 3 different cords, 3-4 forty second reboots. Nothing was working.
It wasn't until I plugged it into my laptop that it forced it to respond since my laptop wanted to scan it. It was dead-dead, so it took a couple minutes to get it to respond to the laptop.
Thanks for the video! 🙏 It saves me a warranty return!
My 5 yr old paperwhite kindle had been ignored for about 5 months and had the ! in the battery symbol. Just trying to charge overnight did not change the situation but following the video after one 20 charge session after hold in the button for 40 seconds twice did bring it back to life. Many Thanks
This actually helped ty! Mine was on the charger for about 24 hours bc I forgot about it and when I went back to it the exclamation point was on the screen. (I guess I had a crappy charger) I plugged in a new charger and did the 40 second trick about 8 times and also switched outlets/to my computer. Finally, once I switched from my computer back to an outlet it came on 😅
Followed instructions: held for 40 seconds and I was in business. Thanks!
Unbelievable, you revived my kindle that have been broken with this problem since 2020. So two years dead and now it's back!
Thank you, both of my kindles got stuck at the same time and I was able to troubleshoot them after your advice. keep it up.
Thank you so much. Mine Kindle was dead with the charge icon. I did the 40 seconds on and off for about 20 minutes then took the cable from my Kindle and replaced it, then did the 40 second button press and voila, success. Thanks again!
Mine started after 15mins following your advice. Thank you so much for this insight
So many thanks. I was desperate as I thought it would. need a new battery, but I followed your tips and , like Lazarus, it came to life after the first 40 sec press. Wonderful!!
Thank you so much! I was unable to use my kindle for a few months now, trying everything. Your tip to hold 40sec and immediately plugging into the notebook worked at 1st try!
Thanks a lot. Only did the 40 second thing without connecting twice, then once plugged in. Before waiting for second time it went to the tree and library was there. Excellent info!
I lost count on how many times I had to do it because I was panicking haha. BUT IT WOOORKED! MY KINDLE IS ALIVE! THANK YOU!!!!!
Imagine how many kindles end up in the bin because people could not take a few minutes out of their day and think to search this on youtube. Thankyou! Got my kindle working, oddly it was already charged at 99%. Thought I spilt beer on it or something and the battery port was cooked. Turns out it's just stuck and needed a reset. Amazon should link to your video in their support.
