how to unfreeze kindle screen? my screen has froze and I can't do anything,anyone know why it happened and how I can prevent it
Thanks
Hey
Well there are a lot of reasons why the Kindle screen freeze.
most of the times it happens when the Kindle is trying to upload some big files like photos, movies, flash etc. in this case all you have to do it to wait and it will un-freeze in couple of seconds.
Another Very common is that the Kindle Memory is full and he can't respond until some of the memory gets free, this usually will happen once you click too many times on the screen, the poor Kindle is overwhelmed with orders and doesn't know what to do, this happens to "newbies" with the kindle.
A lot of these freezing problems can be fixed by resting your Kindle, you can do a Soft reset press the Alt-Shift-R keys at the same time. (Shift is the one that
looks like an up arrow.) If that doesn't work, plug your Kindle into
the charger and try again.
You can also do a Hard Reset take the cover off the back and insert a paperclip in the little hole. Hold for 10 seconds, you may need to try again with the Kindle plugged into the cradle.
For the Kindle DX Hold the top on/off switch sliding it to the left and keep to the left, hold for 60-80 Sec, Release it. Wait a minute - the DX will flash. Then the screen will go black and then the
main Kindle screen (the guy sitting under the tree) will appear and the
start up thermometer bar. Once that's completed, the main menu will
come on, and your books will be rstored in batches over the next couple of minutes
And of course you can always Call Amazon Customer Service at 1-866-321-8851, 6a-10p PST, 7 days a week
Hope this will be helpful

My new kindle keeps freezing and has to be reset. It always resets with no problem, but it makes me nervous that it does this so often. Any suggestions to what is causing this?
In most cases, to avoid freezing, keep battery charged and turn off wireless when it's not being used. To properly reset, hold power switch to the right for 15 seconds.
Resetting the device is not a bad thing, most electronic devices need it to be done. It can be annoying, but it's not fatal.
I would keep track of how many times you need to reset the device. Once the amount get over a few times per day, honestly, I would call Kindle Support. They've got the necessary software to look further into your Kindle.

My kindle will not connect tot he wireless in a 3g area
Hi!
I'm not sure if you're still in need of a solution but I'm currently going through the same issue. My Kindle 2 has not connected to Whispernet for over a week. I've been back and forth with Customer Service (1-866-321-8851 or 1-206-266-0927 if you're calling from outside the U.S) and after an exhaustive search for any possible answer, they told me it was a network connectivity issue and forwarded a service note to AT&T/Sprint, and promised to notify me as soon as possible. I'm still waiting to hear from them. Yesterday my Kindle connected to Whispernet for all of three minutes (just long enough to download a book I bought over a week ago) and now nothing. I've even tried switching wireless networks in range (go to settings, hit menu, type 311 - select different wireless networks) but to no avail. So basically, the best thing you can do after you have tried a soft/hard reset, a fully charged battery and toggling wireless off and on is to call tech support. Do you happen to be in Orange County, New York? If you are, maybe it's a malfunctioning cell tower.
Hope this helps!

Kindle froze and even tho fully charged won't come on. Is there a reset?
I have the same problem. The screen saver is partially frozen on the screen on the upper right corner and then blank down the rest of the right side. The rest of the screen is readable and I'm able navigate (turn pages, select different books, etc).
Did you figure anything out? Help!

When screen froze tried turning on/off and now screen is frozen. Is there a reset button of sorts?
There is a reset button at the bottom (insert paper clip in pinhole). If all attempts trying to unfreeze it fail, you may have a logic board issue. Are you sure the Kindle powers up? Try to power up your Kindle with a different battery. If that fails, you can get the part at Kindle Repair and there is a guide that shows you how to open a kindle and install parts at Kindle Repair Guide.

My kindle is stuck on the resting picture and will not wake up when the power switch is slid and released. Is there a reset opening to the right of the head phone jack? I have already tried holding the power for 5 seconds and watched for 3 flashes and there was no change.
On Jan 1 my wife's Kindle would not shut off. I got it to do it then researched at home. This works on Kindle 3, hold the power switch for about 20 seconds and let go. In about a minute your Kindle should reboot. ;-)
