Hi,

Try the following to reset your Kindle Paperwhite.

Press and hold the Power button for seven seconds until the Power dialog box appears, and then tap Restart.

If the Power dialog box doesn't appear, press and hold the Power button for a full 40 seconds until your device restarts.

If it still doesn't work, you should keep pressing it, let your fingers rest and then, maybe, it'll show the problem. Mine did that and the screen suddenly went white and it warned me that the battery was dead. Sometimes, the battery is the problem. If your battery is dead, you will not be able to restart, nor turn "on" the Kindle.
