My kindle is stuck
My Kindle seems to be stuck. I have a kindle non touch 2012 black model. It doesn't respond to anything and is stuck at the last page that I was reading. It had a third of battery-life left. At least that was what my kindle said a couple of minutes before it died. And all I did in those minutes was read with wifi turned off. I figured I have to remove the back to find the reset-hole, but I can't seem to be able to do that without breaking my kindle in half. The back won't come off. I just want to read please help
Ps. I did a forum-search, but all that came up were very specific problems, like stuck at rebooting or indexing etc. Last edited by Joy736; 01-15-2013 at 11:02 AM. Reason: Adding ps |

Have you tried charging it or hooking it to a computer?

"Reset hole"????
Just hold in the power slider for 20-odd seconds until it reboots. If it doesn't, plug in the wall charger and leave it connected for at least 4 hours. |

It worked Harry, thank you so much. I didn't know how to reboot a Kindle. Guess I have MR to thank for another thing I learned. I love this site and all you helpful people Last edited by Joy736; 01-15-2013 at 11:54 AM. |

Good . Might be worthwhile to at least glance through the User Guide. It's full of useful information.

Kindles freeze now and then. It's good to know how to do a hard reset. My K4s are known to freeze when they haven't been restarted in awhile. I figure they've run out of RAM.

Thanks Blossom, I didn't see your response untill now. I don't mind the occasional freezing, as long as it's easily resolved, just like this first freeze of mine. Now that I know that it's just a matter of rebooting, it doesn't spoil my fun. I'm loving my kindle more each day.
