Hi, looking for help, Kindle Keyboard frozen or in loop
Hi, I'm an obsessed, addicted, reader, mostly of fanfiction, and I was happily reading some Tudors yesterday when my beloved Kindle keyboard went nuts.
Since yesterday it has been either frozen or rebooting. I'm not good with opening things, I tried with the reset button yesterday 'cause I was desperate and it unfroze it, but not it doesn't close well!!. Late last night, after several tries, it let me Reset it, I thought it was going to work then, but it doesn't, it keeps rebooting after a few moments in the home screen, even reset it 2 more times, and nope. Right now is charging, since I just read in a thread here that maybe it I charge it for several hours it might work but I'm getting desperate really. Please help, since I live in Mexico is really expensive for me to get them, specially 'cause of the shipping and the prize of the dollar right now so I can't really just replace it. Be well, Monica |

It sounds like a matter of age. Not much that can be done, other than replace whatever is dying with age.
The two most likely: The storage flash chip. The battery. So it does sound like it will have to make a trip to a repair shop. |

First, thanks for answering!!
It was new when I got it, and it's been with me for less than a year and a half. I have other 2, a wi-fi only, my first one and an add one that is like 3 years old with me, but this one is my new one!!! Right now is calmly charging, and it hasn't reboot or frozen, but who knows how long it will be!! |

Now when you take it off the charger, slide and hold the power for 40 seconds. That might help. |

The parts start to age once they are made, they do not wait until the device is purchased to begin aging. Keep it on a wall charger for a day or two, sometimes they fix themselves, but it does take days, not hours. |
