Kindle Voyage: Attempt at reanimation after bad update

Sat, 18 Jul 2026 14:15:36 -0700

A couple of years ago I left wifi on my Voyage on overnight and it connected to the Amazon services, downloaded an updated and attempted to install it all by itself. However, the update progress stopped at around 15% and the whole device was basically bricked. When I try to reboot or reset it with the power button it always reboots into the update, starts installing it again and freezes again at 15%. When I try to connect it to the computer, the computer does not see it. When I wait for the battery to fully die and then connect it to the computer, the computer sees that there is a device connected, but I cannot do anything with it as there is no option to access the storage or mount it or anything of the sort.

I have attempted pretty much all hacks available on the internet and contacted Amazon support, who told me it's a corpse, gave me a 200 dollars for a new devices and I kinda accepted that Voyage is now a paperweight right next to the new paperwhite. However, I recently came across the idea of jailbreaking the kindle and thought I might try it with the Voyage and see if there is any way of reanimating it.

So what I want to ask, does anyone know if I can do some kind of full factory reset, even with a wipe? Or if there is clear cmos kind of button inside? I don't mind disassembling it if I could fix it. Maybe there is a way to bypass the OS on the device and directly connect memory storage to the computer or some kind of microcontroller programmer so I can manipulate files directly?

Kindle Touch: My power button does not work

Thu, 16 Jul 2026 12:39:38 -0700

Power button does not work, e-reader appears to work correctly once started via USB cable into a PC but no other method that I have seen put forward in various articles seems to work including multiple resets, pressing power button for 7, 15, 30 secs. disabling screensaver etc. Guessing this has to be a hardware problem, but if anyone had any other suggestions or options to try before I dismantle this great bit of kit, please let me know. Thanks

Kindle Paperwhite 3rd Generation: My Kindle Won't Leave the USB Screen

Sat, 11 Jul 2026 08:35:39 -0700

Before I begin, I think this is the edition of kindle paperwhite I have, but it may not be. I received this as a gift, years and years ago.

As you can see it's open the page it has when connected to a computer. This is because last night I uploaded a pdf. The connection wasn't very strong actually, so I know it didn't immediately get locked into this screen. Only when I finally got the cord to sit snug, and finished the upload, would it stay in this screen.

I've tried turning it off and on, and it does go to the correct off-screen, but it does not allow me to restart. When I hold down on the power button the light at the bottom blinks and then turns off after a few seconds. It does not open the power off/restart menu, and that's the primary problem. I suspect this issue would be cleared if it restarted, but the nature of the issue stops me from doing so.

If necessary, I could wait for it to run out of battery. That's the equivalent of a restart. I did just charge it to full though, and the battery on this thing is impressive, plus draining the battery has got to eat into the battery life somewhat. What would you do? Any suggestions?

Kindle Fire HD 8: Kindle fire not charging... I think its the charging port but unsure.

Sun, 19 Apr 2026 16:16:19 -0700

I have a kindle tablet.

When I plug it in to a wall outlet, it shows a battery with one bar briefly then it fades away and no matter how long I keep it plugged I dont see any improvement.

When I plug in into a windows PC I get the connected sound then disconnected sound, again I see a battery with on bar show up briefly then nothing.

When its not plugged in, I test the voltage of the battery and I get 3.2v

Im thinking the port is broken.

What do you think?

Kindle Tablet: Year old kindle, charging light only stays on for a few seconds?

Mon, 13 Apr 2026 01:26:38 -0700

Hi everyone, I have the latest kindle (2024 release, the matcha one). It's my first kindle, only had it for a year and it just won't charge. When I plug it in the orange light comes on but only for a few seconds. It's stuck on the low power screen. I've tried forcing a reset but that won't work. It also isn't acknowledged when I plug it into my PC.

Any ideas of how I could go about fixing it please? I'm guessing the battery/battery port is the culprit. I don't seem to be able to find a replacement battery to purchase anywhere in the UK.
