*I upgraded from the 8 inch to the **Newest.Technology** 10 inch. I really didn't expect it to make that much difference but it has. It is also much faster and responsive. Great Purchase.*

Step 1: Place on hard flat surface. Step 2: Strike with hammer! Step 3: Keep repeating step 2

Watched 11 videos before I found this one. All telling me to plug into a computer... tried this instead. Obviously worked. Time well saved. Thank you for the short, quick, and helpful video sir.

life saver! thank you so much for the video. My school books are on my kindle. I panicked because I couldn't get work done! Thanks again!

Merci petit monsieur à la barbe chenue ! Vous m'avez sorti d'une grande frayeur! Ma compagne m'a gentiment mené vers vous...

Thanks so much! My son's Fire locked up while switching accounts.Your video rescued it, though. :) 20 seconds wasn't quite enough, had to go the full 25. lol

Ahh I tried everything for my son's kindle and found your video and it worked! We are both thrilled, thank you for posting this!

Thank you so much! I just wasn't being patient enough, just like you said. I was about to have a major meltdown. You're the best!!

omg.....I ABSOLUTELY LOVE AND ADORE YOU!!! Nothing was working......frozen and could not shut it off. I am ever so grateful to you. A million thanks!

This worked so well for me I hope I remember in the future!

I don't care if it's a reboot, a reset or something else. What I do care about is that it worked!! (and it worked before I broke it trying to fix it). Just wish I had found your solution before I gave myself a nasty headache. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

Thank you!!!! My Fire HD8 6th generation screen went white then black as if it shut off then would not do anything. Thought it died. Was ready to bite the bullet and buy a new one but your video saved me. Keep holding it down people!

Thank you!!! It worked the first time, straight away. Taught me a lesson in patience too...

it worked for us, so THANK YOU!!!!! simple solution is right, but I would never have held that button for so long without this tutorial.

That's a reboot, not a reset...thanks anyway though

The Best Kindle Fire So Far!

This solved my lock up problem, caused by some badly behaved SW. Thanks!!

Yayy thank you I thought I was going to have to buy a new one! This saved a lot of time and money! Thanks sir !

Wow! Thanks! This worked! I had tried everything else and nothing had worked .... so simple!

Sir...you saved me some looking for proof of purchase, looking for box, driving to ups, packaging, mailing, waiting for ever and reinstalling app time and I greatly thank you for that!

Beautiful! Your explination worked. Thank You.

Just had mine lock up for the first tiem. I don't use it much but your tip worked. Thank you.

3 words- YOU ARE AWESOME! Thank you!!!

I tried this loads of times. Kindle Fire was a gift too.

Thank you so much.....I was about to order a new Kindle Fire....but now it works fine!!!

I just used this method on my roommates I believe 2016 model kindlefire, and it worked.... she was so happy because she has had 5 or 6 of these things all just die....

Thank you this helped me greatly!!! Since I bought my kindle fire hd off of ebay I dont know how to troubleshoot anything...so thanks so mkuch!!

Thanks a million man, I was looking at the prices of another one and happened upon your video.

i have the newer one and i powered it off, then held volume up and power for about 15 secs, let up and the factory reset options awaited me. very happy since i forgot the sign in info... or maybe it was volume down... well if one doesnt work, the other will. :)

thank you sir I really appreciate your help! I was scared and thought my kindle fire was completely shot! Thanks again my friend!

My daughter has not used her kindle in a couple of months. She went to use it yesterday, and the screen is black. it would not turn on. We charged it over night. Holding the power button has not worked...what now? This is a fairly new kindle bought a a Christmas present last year. It has not been used very much. I am wondering what to do with it now?

OMG FKN TY SO MUCH.......I've been staring almost all day at what I thought was a dead tablet and almost about to junk it, wasn't turning on or lighting up in any wqy, watched your vid and thought "hey it's a longshot, but why not"....couldn't believe my eyes when the blasted thing lit up ^_^, liked and subbed, tyvm again!!!

I tried this and it doesn't work. My kindle fire hd 7 still will only boot to the logo and stay there. I have never rooted this device or anything. It is in like new condition since I only used it a couple of times since I bought it about a year and half ago. Last time I used it it needed an update. I let it update and then I didn't use it for months. Now it will only boot to logo screen.

I have a Kindle Fire HD that is a couple years old and it keeps getting a low on RAM message even though I have run the Clean Master app. Would doing a reset help clean out the RAM? Do you use the same method as in your video? Does a reset wipe anything important off your Kindle?

Thanks your awesome now I can watch videos on chrome again and I'm watching on chrome right now.😁

I've got a hipstreet vanguard tablet and it's got a password on it but it doesn't have a volume button on the side only a home button and power button on the top

hold the power and the volume down key when off and it will enter manufacturer mode

Thank you so much!!! After seaching through videos I finally found something that worked

Is there a way to factory reset a locked one? I bought a storage unit and there was one in it, but it is locked with a child lock on it and a parent section. It also says that it needs to download content before moving forwards which requires the password. I want to use it for my kids, so if anything can easily be done, please let me know.

Hello Mr . Man ,I tried the full 25s & didn't work so I did a full 60s and still no luck. Anything else that you might suggest sir?

My mother left her Kindle Fire HD at home so that one of the littler children could watch movies, and when she came back to it, it was asking her to choose a language. Is this a sign that a hard reset was done? Or is there some way to fix it?

thank you so much i finally can use my kindle

Thank you

Thank you soo much that worked

Thanks...great simple fix...

Does this reset to factory mode or just restart the device?

When I turn on my kindle fire it stays on the kindle fire logo page. I have tried this exact procedure and the same thing is happening. Does anyone know how to correct this problem. Thank you
