Amazon Kindle How-To - Help! My Kindle's Frozen!

You just got your new Kindle and have loaded it up with e-books and audio books. After playing a while you determine to make a few phone calls. When you come back, you find your Kindle screen is frozen! Unresponsive. The Next Page and previous Page buttons don't work. The (Aaa) doesn't "wake it up." Nothing seems to bring your Kindle back to life. That old-school screen saver just stares back at you.

First of all - don't panic. As with any other electronic device, the Kindle occasionally has a few hiccups. There are a few things you can do to get your Kindle running again good as new.

Battery Chargers

1. Plug-in your charger. Sometimes the Kindle battery can get run-down sufficient so that it will "freeze." Plugging the charger in and giving your Kindle battery some much needed power often will un-freeze the screen.

2. If that doesn't work, try what is called a "soft reset." To do a soft reset on your Kindle press the , , and keys simultaneously. Your Kindle screen should go blank or dark and then gently come back to life.

3. When doing a soft reset doesn't work, you will occasionally have to do a "hard reset." To do a hard reset -
- Make sure your Kindle's battery is expensed (about an hour of charging time should do it)
- take off the charger cord from your Kindle
- Open the back of your Kindle
- uncover the small hole under the word "Reset"
- Open a small paper clip
- Insert the paper clip end into the hole and press gently for about 10 seconds
- Your Kindle screen should go blank (or black) and then the Kindle should re-start

4. When a hard reset doesn't work you can try to take off and replace the battery in your Kindle. This is a bit more complex but not too difficult -
- Turn your Kindle off
- take off the charger cord from your Kindle
- Open the back of your Kindle
- uncover the gray battery, and the finger-notch for removing the battery
- gently press the battery toward the back of its compartment, then lift the battery out
- uncover the connector that attaches the battery to the Kindle
- gently pull the battery connector out of the Kindle
- With the battery out of the Kindle turn it on for about 5 seconds
- Replace the battery and close the back cover of your Kindle
- Turn the Kindle on

If your Kindle is still "frozen" after completing the steps above, your next move is to contact the Amazon Kindle reserve team. Go to your Amazon account page - agree "Manage my Kindle" and contact the reserve team from there. You can find the link at the top of the "Manage my Kindle" page on the far right side.

There is a good chance, however, that the steps above will get your Kindle un-frozen and by now you'll be back enjoying your popular e-book or audio book.

Congratulations! You've now learned how to do a soft and hard reset on your Amazon Kindle wireless reading device.

In a singular hour, the estimate of solar power that falls on the earth's surface is greater that the estimate of power the earth consumes in a whole year. With all this free power at our disposal, it would be a crime to let it all go to waste. There are many advantages to using this power type. Below are a few of them:

This type of power is renewable energy. Unlike fossil fuels, solar power will never be at a risk of running out. So long as the sun shines on earth, we will have solar energy. Fossil fuels on the other hand are mined from deposits in the earth that were formed over millions of years. While these deposits may be immense, they are ordinarily mined at a faster rate than they are replenished.

This power does not contribute to the depletion of earth's natural resources nor does it destroy the environment. Fossil fuels yield greenhouse gases and other gases that are detrimental to the environment. Emissions from fossil fuels contribute to global warming.
