Left kindle fire HD 7" (rooted) on my dresser for 3 months without playing with it, and the battery went dead. Plugged it in and the power light turns green it turns on for a micro second with the yellow triangle with a flame in it. and then shuts back off. and then turns back on for a second and back off. screen actually turns off in between.
The reason I wonder if this is not a boot loop is because in my experiencing there is no shutting off of the device on a bootloop. That may not be true. Also the thing wont turn on at all if not plugged in to the wall.

Ok I figured it out. It was the charger. Standard Kindle charger, but I put the same Kindle on my HTC ONE charger and it booted up fine.
So, to answer my own question. I was not boot loop, the kindle fire was just turning on and shutting off repeatedly.

I opened kindle fire hd and replaced battery. Kindle was working fine but the old battery would not stay charged for more than an two hours unless plugged in, so I replaced battery. Kindle Fire powered on and new battery stayed charged all day but is stuck at the orange arrow swipe screen. I have done the hard boot by holding power button for 20 seconds and it reboots but still touch screen is unresponsive and also tried with it connected to laptop, no luck.

Is it possible that you unplugged or damaged the touchscreen controller?

I think i know what's going on here, In any KFHD if you charge the device using a wall charger with current output less than 1800mA The touch screen becomes unresponsive while charging, I think that's because the device rely completely on external power source instead of the battery during charging and if this power source is not enough the touch screen doesn't work, I think the battery you put in the KFHD has a lower current output than the original, Try replacing it. Also can you please take a picture of both batteries, make sure the text on the batteries is clear?
Thanks

I am having a similar problem. I had the same problem with the battery not holding a charge, so I bought a new battery. Now the new battery does not power the screen. If I want it bright enough to see, I need to have it plugged in. It started out flickering for a few seconds before becoming clear. After 4-5 days, the flickering doesn't go away.. I'm pretty sure I used the correct charger.
I cannot seem to find any help with this one anywhere so I am starting a new thread.
Basically I have a Kindle Fire HD 7" Tate that shuts itself down after loading either the normal Kindle Fire boot logo OR when entering Fastboot. It stays on in Fastboot for about 3 seconds and then switches off and continues to loop while the factory cable is plugged in.
If I have the normal cable plugged in, boots to Kindle Fire screen (no animation) and then shuts down. Power button unresponsive.
Any ideas? I have managed to load the bootloader, recovery and boot stock via fastboot in time before it shuts down again but this has not helped.
I've requested that this be moved to Kindle Fire HD 7" Q and A

You might want to recharge the battery with normal USB cable.

Tried leaving it on charge overnight, still the same thing. It occasionally goes to red triangle in a boot loop so I don't think all is lost. I was wondering if it were possible to reflash the xloader partitions but I cant seem to find the file I need.
It seems that the battery is not charging. I managed to get the Kindle to stay on long enough for bootloader,boot and recovery to be flashed via fastboot but then the battery seemed to die mid way through flashing system. I am going to try and put the battery in another KFHD and charge it, see what happens.
Looks like I have found the problem, the power button board is faulty. The Kindle has suffered some water damage by the looks of it. Unplugged the connections to the headphone board and all is working and I am able to reflash via fastboot without it turning off
hello
awhile ago i successfully installed cm11 on the kindle fire hd 7. i used it for few weeks and then left it alone.i haven't used it for a couple months, so when i tried turning it on, the device would not get past the first kindle fire logo, then shuts off. its very weird, i left it for like a whole day on charge, and it randomly booted up and then shuts down. i tryed fastboot and after connecting it for couple seconds turns off as well. my conclusion that its charging , and mother board is still good, but wont boot past first kindle fire logo. its not bricked because the last time i used it, the device was running cm11 perfectly. can anyone help me out?

When you power it on and it turns off after the first Kindle Fire logo (the orange one), does it immediately turn back on? And when you plug in your fastboot cable, does it display "Kindle Fire fastboot"?
Sometimes it just stays turned off and other times it reboots again to orange logo and shuts off. When I plug in fastboot cable I see fastboot logo for couples seconds and then disappears

I have a kindle fire HD which I just opened and used recently though it was given to me last 2013...the first time it was used, it was ok...but when it ran out of battery and we tried to charge it using my Amazon powerfast charger, the screen lit up into a bright red-orange color after some time and the tablet was hot to the touch though still can be touched. Tried to push the power button down and less than or about 20 sec later, the screen turned off...waited a while then tried to turn it on, the "kindle fire" words that usually appears upon turning on a kindle appeared but only for a fleeting second then the screen turned again into a bright red-Orange color. Tried doing the same thing again and again but the same result occurred - a bright red-orange screen. This unit is practically new and I badly need to know if it is repairable or not. Need your expert help asap. Thank you very much.
A while back my HD7 (TATE) running Beanstalk OS (Marshmallow) started acting peculiar.
If unplugged from the charger, it will boot up just fine into the OS. However, after the screen times out, it will instantly shut off and begin to reboot. It will keep doing this unless I keep the screen on (using it) or force it off completely (shut down, or press and hold power for 5 sec). It seems that my Kindle Fire HD 7 doesn't like going into Sleep mode. I looked up and tried changing some of the default sleep state values via kernel editor, but nothing seems to help or make a difference.
I thought maybe it was the battery dying at first, so I tried to plug it in. I noticed that if I plug in the charger during the boot process, it just instantly dies and refuses to wake up unless I unplug it. However, once it is completely on and booted up, I can plug in the charger and it stays on and charges. That is, unless I let the screen time out... then it attempts to reboot but instant death because the charger is in during boot.
Oddly enough, I'm able to charge the Kindle when it is completely powered off by plugging in. Or I can leave the screen on by changing the power settings, and let it charge that way. Its become very difficult to use like this, however. Everytime I put it down, I have to either power it completely off or come back to a dead battery from all the bootloops.
In a nutshell, it seems that my KFHD7 Tate won't charge unless completely powered off or on- during boot it causes it to lock up until the cable is removed. It also won't sleep, as once the system times out the display and tries, it reboots.
