A touchscreen e-reader by Amazon with silent page-turning buttons and auto-adjusting backlight, released October 21, 2014.

Why is my kindle unresponsive?

The screen will just seemingly turn itself off and on. Holding the power button for as long as 5 minutes before releasing does nothing to change this cycle. I've held the power button for 7 and 40 seconds before releasing. Does nothing. I've done while charged, charging, and dead. Does nothing. What's wrong?

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Same problem here. Kindle is only 15 months old. No warranty. No Kindle anymore...

Anything that helped?

Did you check your screen? I just slightly broke the touchscreen of my kindle voyage. Now it could display things correctly, but couldn't respond to my action.

Hi Stephen,

You might want to take a look at the Kindle Voyage troubleshooting page for help.

Best of luck!

No luck here either. Though Amazon offered me 20% off another Kindle. Hard to swallow since I used it only occasionally which may have been the reason for the battery's demise.
