If your Kindle won't turn on, it can be frustrating. Here are the top 3 reasons why your Kindle might not turn on and what you can do about it.

1. The most common reason for a Kindle not turning on is that it needs to be charged. Make sure your Kindle is plugged into a power source using the included micro USB cable. If you're using an older model Kindle, you may need to wiggle the cable a bit to seat it properly in the charging port.

2. Another possible reason for a Kindle not turning on is that the battery may be depleted. If your Kindle hasn't been used in a while, or if you've been using it for extended periods without recharging, the battery may need some time to recharge before it powers on again.

3. A Kindle that is frozen or unresponsive may have a bad battery, or it may not be appropriately connected to the charging cable. Ensure the micro USB cable is seated in your device and plugged into an electrical outlet.

Kindle won't turn on: troubleshooting tips.

If your Kindle won't turn on, don't panic! We can try a few troubleshooting tips to get it up and running again.

Check the Battery

The first step is always to check that your device is adequately charged. If your battery is low on power, your Kindle may not respond appropriately. If you notice that your Kindle seems to be running out of juice quickly, it could be because the device is not fully charged. Try plugging in your device, and let it recharge for at least 10 minutes before attempting to use it again. If you still can't get it to turn on, try charging the battery with a wall charger instead of your computer.

Kindle Reset

If the Kindle still doesn't turn on, try resetting it by holding the power button for 20 seconds. If that doesn't work, try connecting it to a computer with a USB cable and see if it will charge that way. If the Kindle still won't turn on, it may need to be replaced.

If none of these troubleshooting tips work, then there may be a more severe issue with your Kindle, and you should contact kindle support for help.
