I have a rooted Kindle Generation 2 with CM on it that's been on it for years now. It's been turned off for probably a year now or so.
When I plug it into the PC or the wall to charge up the display comes on and shows the Kindle Fire blue and white words and then turns itself off and then turns itself back on again in a loop. It doesn't stay powered on long enough for the computer to detect it and do anything or for me to select any options. I've tried holding down the power button for 20, 30, 60 seconds and nothing. Just two seconds on and then two seconds off over and over again.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

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.
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.
It was charging for most of the day, so the battery isn't dead. I turned it on and then the screen went black. Now it won't do anything unless I plug it into the computer or wall. I didn't root it or change anything.
I pushed the power button again for about 30 seconds and now it works. I don't know how to delete the thread.
Have a Samsung Galaxy Tab (Verizon) SCH-I800 7" that is stuck in a reboot loop. Searches/fixes for this issue seem almost common, but mine is experiencing this issue much worse than the others I've read about. Full charge, not plugged in; without pressing the power button, the device automatically attempts to turn on, the Samsung logo appears for 5 seconds exactly, it shuts itself off, the process repeats until the battery dies. Battery at all levels, plugged in; without pressing the power button, the device automatically attempts to turn on, an empty battery image displays for roughly 4 seconds and then a full battery (or current level) displays for roughly 1 second.
The 5 seconds while it is on, pressing or holding the power button has no affect. Pressing and holding the power + down volume buttons will display the yellow downloading screen, which displays "downloading.... do not turn off target" and yellow android sign for 2-5 seconds (depending on how quickly I am able to load it". While this downloading screen is displayed, pressing power, volume up or down do not have any affect.
When connecting the Tab device to a computer via the USB cord, the computer recognizes it for approximately 4-5 seconds, then disconnects for 4-5 seconds, repeat forever. The computer is unable to successfully install drivers or do anything useful in this short amount of time. The battery has been replaced as well as I thought that may be the issue, no change.
Any suggestions?
"Pressing and holding the power + down volume buttons will display the yellow downloading screen, which displays "downloading.... do not turn off target" and yellow android sign for 2-5 seconds"
are you saying it turns off after few second even in that download mode?!
what have you done to your phone before that?
are you on stock firmware? version of ROM?
even tho i don't think i am able to help you, but more info my give someone else a better chance on doing so

well, i have experienced this, after i flash a ROM, and my battery is low, i forced it to flash, and became the same like your tab....
maybe this step can help your tab...
1.charge your battery for 3-5 hours
2.after that, quickly hold the power + down volume to download mode
3.connect it with your computer, Restock it
PS: IF after step 1 try to normally boot your tab, maybe there still a hope:angel:
My nook hd plus seems to be bricked.
My tablet is unable to power on, and even when connected to the USB charger it only have the green light and it does not turn orange even after a day of charging.
It does not seems to be a dead battery as I had charged it externally.
The tablet would become hot when I reconnect my battery to the tablet.
My tablet might had bricked as I tried to speed by installing ram manager, and my tablet was stuck when it was booting up.
After switching my tablet off, it is unable to be turn on.
What can I do to make it boot?
Green is fully charged and orange is when charging so it will not turn orange as long as it is plugged in. Try holding the power button 30 seconds wait 10 seconds and then hold it for 3 more does it turn on then?

This is a long shot. Try holding the power and "n" buttons for three to five minutes. If/when you see the backlight come on, continue to hold both buttons until the backlight goes off again. Then try to power it on normally by pressing just the power switch. What this is supposed to do is trigger the watchdog timer.
