Hi,
i have a kindle fire HD and yesterday i dropped it off the couch onto the floor. Since then the kindle wont load or respond to anything, charging, booting, hard reset (holding power for 60 seconds), plugging it into PC anything.
the only response i can get is when the usb is plugged in, either to the pc or charger, it pops up saying kindle fire for a couple of seconds then completely shuts its self off.
has anyone got any tips or ideas that can help me fix this?
i have tried a few little batch and jar files i have found on this forum and i am about to try one found in a similar forum as suggested when typing this request.
if anyone can help this would be greatly appreciated.
many thanks
Kris

Hi everyone!
This is my first XDA post. I need help with my Kindle fire HD 7'
I Soft bricked it while trying to root it. What is happening is that i can turn it on, but only the Kindle Fire logo comes up,
the after about 5 second, the logo goes away for a split second and then comes back but this time with the "Fire" part of the logo in cyan.
After this point it just stays in this position basically forever until you hold the power button. I have the factory wire for a fastboot, but the issue is that my PC wont recognize my kindle fire whatsoever. I know I have the correct drivers installed, but no matter what i do my PC wont recognize my
Kindle.
Please Help!!
Tl;dr 1) My Kindle Fire HD 7' is semi bricked
2) I can put it in boot camp mode due to the factory wire
3) No matter what I tried My PC wont recognize the device

Ummm... if you were trying to root the device,how in the world did you install the 2nd bootloader? And as for the driver issues,try using Ubuntu instead of Windows. It WILL recognize the device. @stunts513 please see if you can help this fellow out.
Ah thanks for the mention, I'm less active now that I got a job but since I'm off on weekends I try to keep up with posts at that time. Anyways if it turns blue then try holding volume down when you initially see the orange logo and just keep holding it even after it turns blue and see if it will go into twrp.

Thanks,we make a good team.
I have a Kindle Fire. Don't know anything beyond that other than a 7" screen (diagonally).
A few months ago I attempted to root this thing and jacked it all up. All it does now is go to a stagnant screen that has the Kindle Fire logo. If I hold the power button long enough (30 sec or so) I can get it to turn off. Also, the computer does not recognize the Kindle nor will it load the drivers for it.
I purchased a fast boot cable but no luck- still goes to the same screen. Is this thing done or can it be resurrected?
As you might have already figured out, I'm no electronic guru.
Can anyone help or shall I use it as a coaster.
If the fastboot cable is doing you no good, then you're out of luck. I would recommend trying to return it to Amazon.
I see some similar threads in this forum but nothing that was suggested helps, so I thought I'd create a new question:
I got a kindle fire X43Z60 that is stuck at boot. I was told it had a problem with the charging port that needed to be replaced. I'm assuming after a while a lot of jiggling was needed to charge it and even that stopped working after a while.
I purchased a main board off of ebay, the board was described as from a broken kindle and but was tested and was in working condition. I replaced the old board with the new one but the symptoms are exactly the same. Then I bought a replacement battery off ebay, but new battery did not help either.
I don't have the original charger for the kindle but have multiple micro USB chargers and I assume one of them would work (from Galaxy S4, original nook, others).
The way it looks (with new and old, battery and main board), is that when I press the power button initial "kindle fire" shows up and then disappears. When I press and hold the power button, the "kindle fire" logo disappears, I let the button go, then the logo appears again, disappears for a second and it appears again but now there's this graphical effect rolling over the logo as if it was booting up. At some point after it just powers off abruptly. Occasionally I'm able to boot it up all the way using that method and it would stay on for a minute until a message would appear "are you sure you want to power down" and it would power down without me having a chance to respond. It kind of looks like the battery is drained. When I do boot it up all the way the battery indicator shows it as not nearly drained.
When I hook the kindle up to a PC using USB cable, the initial kindle fire logo just appears and disappears in a loop. I dont see the kindle being visible to the PC.
What else can i try to fix it?
Is there nobody that knows solution to this, or at least give me a hint where to look?

You could simply google it
I think you have to call Amazon's Customer Service.
I have been having problems opening my device for months now because the power button isn't working anymore for me. So when I open my Kindle I just usually plug the charger. Then one day, I don't know what happened, when I opened my device it was so slow and the launcher (original) is always not responding. So when I finally manage to go to Settings > Device > Restore Factory settings... my account was deregistered and I waited for it to reboot. When it did, it was the same. I didn't think that the Reset settings I did, worked. My power button is broken, right? So what I did next, I opened the back case of the device and tried to push the power button with a pin, then all of a sudden it restarted and ended up being stuck with the Kindle Fire logo. Anyone could help me with this problem? I'm still hoping that it could still be fixed. Please reply, any help would be much appreciated. (My KFHD is the first gen btw)
and I couldn't reboot again the device, it's still stuck with the logo
Got red screen after bad flash dont know exactly what happened so used factory cable to recover my kindle fire hd 7" from the red screen?
Plugged in cable connected to pc and kindle screen displayed fastboot..all well so far..
Then I used this programme KFFirstAide and used
option 3. Completly Restore the KFHD 7 7.2.3 (Fastboot)
pressed return on pc then programme started then said rebooting kindle, kindle screen went black (no fastboot logo anymore) and it stayed black left it for ages and it did not come on again, eventually I removed kindle fire hd 7 from pc and tried to switch on but nothing happened I tried to connect it to pc again with fastboot cable and nothing happened pc did not recognise it,tried the same with cable that came with kindle and nothing happened. Have tried with no cables connected and nothing. have tried holding power button for 20 seconds then push power button again for 2 seconds but nothing happens still black screen
Is there any way to fix this now? anything inside unit I can try?
