Discover quick and easy steps to fix a frozen Kindle Paperwhite screen. Get back to reading with our comprehensive troubleshooting guide.

How to fix Kindle Paperwhite frozen screen?

 

Check the Power

 

  • Sometimes the Kindle Paperwhite looks frozen when it's simply out of battery. Plug your Kindle into a power source using its USB charger.

    •  

  • Leave it to charge for at least an hour before attempting to turn it on again. This ensures that a low battery isn't causing the issue.

 

Soft Reset the Kindle

 

  • If charging doesn’t work, perform a soft reset. Hold the power button down for about 20-40 seconds until the Kindle restarts automatically.

    •  

  • Release the power button when you see the restart process or the Kindle logo appears on the screen. This helps refresh the device without losing any of your Kindle books.

 

Update Kindle Software

 

  • Ensure your Kindle software is up-to-date, as outdated software can cause freezing. Connect to Wi-Fi and navigate to Settings > Device Options > Software Updates to check for updates.

    •  

  • If an update is available, allow it to download and install. This can resolve bugs in previous software versions that may lead to freezing.

 

Check for Corrupted Content

 

  • Sometimes a specific book or file might be corrupted, causing the Kindle to freeze. Try removing recently added books or files, especially if the freezing began after a recent download.

    •  

  • After removing suspected files, observe if your Kindle functions normally. Use the Kindle library to redownload any necessary content to your device.

 

Perform a Factory Reset

 

  • As a last resort, a factory reset might be needed if the Kindle repeatedly freezes. This will erase all data on the device, so ensure your content is backed up in the cloud before proceeding.

    •  

  • To perform the reset, go to Settings > Device Options > Reset to Factory Defaults.

    •  

  • Complete the setup process post-reset, and download any previous content as needed.

 

Contact Amazon Support

 

  • If none of the above steps work, it might be time to contact Amazon Support. They can provide further diagnostics or repair options specifically tailored to your Kindle model.

    •  

  • Have your device information ready, such as the serial number, when reaching out for support to streamline the assistance process.
