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.

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!

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!

My husband had an old Kindle so I bought him a new one, as a Christmas gift. This was over 8 years ago! The second Kindle has been left, unused. I am trying to throw ‘stuff’ out. That old Kindle hasn’t worked for years. I tried your method and after 3 goes IT WORKS!!! He still doesn’t want it but now someone might want it. 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!

Tried. At 3rd attempt the kindle has eventually flew in the parking slot 8 floors underneath my window.

-Okey Just push 40 secs and wait 7 hours
-Sure!"

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! 🎉

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!

Thank you.

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.

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.

Kept trying and trying took about 6 attempts and was charging for 2 hours before it eventually came on. Thank you so much

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!

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!

[CTIPrecision]

Worked perfectly for me. Was ready to replace the battery and found your video. Plugged it in, reset it 4x, and within 10 minutes it was booting. Great video!

[kaushalagrawal]

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.

[sweeheonglowTwo]

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

[jlich]

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!

Guys this worked for me! Tried it about 7-8 tumse and let it charge over night. Did it once in the morning and a few minutes later it was automatically on! Thank you so much! You're a lifesaver. Also guys this process takes a lot of time but it works. Be patient.
