Hello, i have a problem with screen
I am new to this so sorry if I post a problem on the wrong thing. My screen saver has been on for a couple of days while I have been sick. When I tried to wake it up the screen saver only cleared half way up the screen. I did try to hold the power switch over to reset it but it did not clear. Is there anything else I can do?

Hi Holli, welcome to MR from the Netherlands. Is it fully charged? Did you try a reset? = hold the on/off button to the right for about 15 sec.....release and wait for the Kindle to reset. Did the Kindle fall and perhaps the screen is broken?
You can also post your question on the Kindle-forum (look for it on the main forum page), or email/phone Amazon; they've a good customersservice. good luck |

Hello and welcome to the board. Sorry to hear about your problem... does it do anything when you connect it to your computer?

My Kindle does that sometimes too. I get a kind of "ghost" image. I find that it goes away after the screen has been refreshed a couple of times. (Once or twice.)
If that doesn't fix it, I'm not sure what to tell you! (Although the battery suggestion makes sense to me.) Welcome! Have a look around the Kindle forum. There's lots of good information there! |
