@goodharbor122 we can't fix it for you. We are volunteers that help others to fix their own devices. In the case of your Kindle, I recommend that you totally disassemble it using these guides Amazon Kindle Oasis 8th Gen Motherboard Replacement Then clean every part with some 90%+ isopropyl alcohol. That includes the cables, connectors etc. Use something like this guide Repairing iPhone Liquid Damage to see how to clean a device. The guide was written for an iPhone but the same pretty much applies to any device. After you clean it and have it dried, replace the battery and then reassemble. Only then can you evaluate your Kindle for any other damage.

you will need to take it to a local repair shop as this site is to help people, not for repair service
