Since I got a significant discount and have replaced my Kindle Fire 5th gen replaced, and I know have a Kindle, while bricked, to do whatever I want.
But I can't make heads or tails about where my Kindle sits. When I connect it, I get nothing (using Peppermint Linux). I connect it to a wall charger, I don't see anything. I don't know if my battery is shot, or if this my Kindle is terminal.
Do where do I even start?

I've got a Kindle Fire HD with stock FW that will not power on.
I've measured across all of the red wires on the battery connector to ground and I am getting 4.14vdc so I am assuming the battery is fine.
While 'charging' the KFHD, it is only pulling 1.8w/.03a from the wall.
With the back side off of the kindle the CPU area gets warm, but the battery doesn't
I've tried holding the power button down for 20-30 seconds and it still does nothing.
Would it be possible to pull the battery and cut and splice a usb cable and wire it directly to the battery port on the KFHD's mobo and attempt to power it on that way to make sure that the mobo is good? If anyone has had a similar issue please let me know.
Thanks in advance.
Sounds more like it's hard bricked, if it won't power on I'd most likely say the bootloader has something wrong with it. That can't exactly be fixed just her because we don't have the pin out of the emmc yet for the 7" HD model yet. If you can look it up there's a pin that if you from d it it would briefly show up as an omap device, if you can do that much at least then you could prove the motherboard works, but the omap device is useless because while on a kf1 we can use it to reflash the boot loader, on a kf2 we need a signed aboot that is signed by amazon to fix it.

I have an Amazon Kindle Fire HD 7 inch tablet. I tried to install cm10 and it would only boot about every four tries so I decided to go back to the Amazon OS. After I flashed it back with the srt tool, it now only boots with kindle fire logo for about four seconds and blinks the logo again in a bootloop. I bought a usb fastboot cable. I bout the n2a cable that was recommended in the forum but it still boots the same thing while plugged in. Am I out of options? Thanks in advance.
I forgot to mention it's the kindle 2012 version.

Hold the power button for 30 seconds until it powers off. Now plug the Factbook cord into the tablet and now you USB port. The tablet should energize into Factbook mode automatically.

Thanks for the reply. That's what I've tried to no avail. I've even removed the back and unplugged the battery to make sure it was off. It turns on to the kindle fire logo even still. I have the motorola/kindle fire fast boot cable. I would purchase scoprn's cable but I don't want to waste my money if it's not the cable. The fast boot cable I bought was used by others users in this forum successfully. It's weird though, everyone seems to suggest that if it boots and is showing something then it's not bricked. I just don't what my options are at this point.

I recomend the adapter by blackhat i think hashcode has posted in his 2nd bootloader thread, goes in between a normal cable and the plug on the kindle.

Thanks for the suggestion. That's the one I purchased over the weekend. Hope it works.
complete noob here looking for some help.
i have a kindle fire demo unit that i tried to run the utility program on using a factory cable.
the problem is that i did something wrong and now my kindle wont turn on and it is not seen by my pc.
can i fix this and get it working as a android tablet or is it now completely dead.
Shut it off completely by pushing the power button down for at least 20 seconds. Now plug in ur fastboot cable into the fire hd and connect it your computer. Does it get into fastboot mode? Do u remember how much your battery was charged before it stopped being detected on your computer? If it was less, you would have to look for a way to charge your battery first, as I don't think the device charges itself in fastboot mode. If you remember having plenty of battery and you are sure you have a kindle fire HD 7 2012 edition then look for a boot loader repair guide which we have on this part of the forum of the XDA. If you are capable of performing the mod, good, else find someone to do it for you.

Has anyone been able to use a Kindle Fire motherboard through usb to PC?
My screen is broke, no replacement. The battery is disconnected aswell.
Just looking to see if it would be usable still with no screen.
Thanks!
Hello all! I understand that this device may or may not be a paperweight but I would like to confirm. Please bear with me.
The model for this device is X43Z60. Windows won't recognize this device and it doesn't show up on device manager. It is connected to an original kindle microusb (so fastboot isn't working). I've taken the back cover off and unplugged the battery and plugged it back in as well. Won't turn on and won't be recognized by ADB. Only sign of life that I have is that the back gets warm.
