Switches on but the screen does not power up
My daughters Kindle Fire HD will play the switch on music but the screen does not power up.
Any ideas would be gratefully received.
Is this a good question?

If suddenly your Kindle Fire won't work, then it's most likely locked up.
However, sometimes when it locks up you can't tell because the screen goes dark, either gray or black. It just looks like it's off when in fact your Kindle Fire is on but is stuck.
This is usually why a Kindle Fire won't turn on or charge, because it's already on but is locked up and thus won't charge or work properly
How to Reset the Kindle Fire
Resetting your Kindle Fire is actually really easy, just hold down the power button for at least 20 seconds.
Unless the screen is black or gray, you'll know when it's off. If you can't tell, just be sure to wait a full 20 seconds.
When you're ready, hit the power button to turn it back on.
Kindle Fire Won't Turn On
Kindle Fire Power Cord for Charging
If your Kindle Fire won't turn on it's possible the battery went dead (if it was left "on" too long).
Plug in the power charger and wait about 15 minutes to make sure it gets enough charge, and then try turning it on again.
If it still won't turn on, try to reset the Kindle Fire again to be sure it's powered off.

Hi Emilee, the only thing that worked for me was removing the battery and putting it back in. It's taped in and looks like it's not removable. I removed it anyway because I was fixing to just toss it out since I couldn't get past the black screen. AND I TRIED EVERYTHING BUT, prior to removing and re inserting the battery and its what worked, surprisingly!... Good luck.

How did you take the battery out safely? When I went to try to get mine out, the battery seemed to deform. almost like it's bendable.
Please watch youtube video on how to disconnect battery and connect again and it does work!!
I just held the power button down until the grayish screen turned black ,then held the power button down again and it turned back on with Amazon logo then fire logo popped up. Almost panicked because it's my husband's Kindle and I was just trying to watch a show on Netflix when it tripped on me . SMH

I freaked out once the tablet went to a black screen from leaving it on. I knows it had plenty charge as it was over 70%. I read the posts and the method that was successful was to hold down the power button 3 seconds. Making sure it thinks is on. Then holding down 30 seconds or more (10 second method doesn’t work). As soon as the screen flick and showed fire, I shed a tear and kiss the tablet. This tablet fires my heart. Talk about material fellings lol.
Then it read updating storage device. Anyway This point the tablet was alive and save me from being bored waiting for my flight.
Until next time. Chao!

I was reading on my kindle earlier and i left it on. Now it does’’t show anything. Though when i press the power button, it turns green and on charge it shows an orange light just fine but shows screen with just the back light and turns black again. Tried holding down the button, taking out and putting the batteries, and almost everything suggested online. Is the screen broken or its something else. Please help!
