Frozen on fire screen

My son's kindle fire HD 8 was working fine last night. He turned it on this morning and it is now stuck on the fire logo screen. I have tried holding down the power button multiple times for all the seconds recommend. I have tried the power and volume down button and restarting it from there. I have tried leaving it plugged in. I am now at a loss of what to do. Help please. We just got Wi-Fi yesterday and now he can't use it.

Melissa Jeter. this question is 2 years old and not very well visited. I'd suggest that yuo go ahead and ask your own question. https://www.ifixit.com/Answers/Ask That way it does not get lost like it does here. Give as much detail as possible. Which device, what happened to it and what have you tried to fix it?

I had to factory reset and than reboot. Not a huge deal, because only my 5 year old uses it. But it sure was a pain. Hope this helps.

I went throught all these same steps with no success, It wasn't until I took out the SD card that the kindle started working again. The card was dead which was causing the screen freeze on bootup.

Had exactly this problem - couldn’t find an answer so contacted Amazon support who were brilliant. In short, turn off, hold start button and volume down button for a couple of seconds til machine starts, this enters the “techy” menu. Use volume buttons and then power button to select “wipe data / restore factory settings” option. Then repeat off, back to techy menu and reboot. Takes 5-10 minutes to then restart and you have to go through usual set up stuff again . . . .Amazon can talk you through this . . . . .

If it is under warranty, see if Amazon will repair or replace it.

Otherwise, check this blog.

This will wipe the entire tablet, but you can redownload all your apps and stuff.
