Identify the Cause of Screen Flickering
- Consider that screen flickering on a Kindle Oasis might be due to software glitches, hardware issues, or incorrect device settings.
- Look for any recent software updates. Sometimes, new updates can stabilize existing bugs.
Check for Software Updates

- Go to the Kindle's main menu, tap on 'Settings', then select 'Device Options', and finally, 'System Updates'.
- Ensure your device has the latest software. If an update is available, download and install it.
Adjust Screen Settings
- On the home screen, tap 'Settings'.
- Select 'Device Options' and explore 'Display Settings'.

Restart the Device
- Press and hold the power button on your Kindle Oasis for about 7 seconds until you see the power menu.
- Tap 'Restart' and wait for the device to reboot.
- Check whether the screen flickering issue is resolved post-restart.
Reset to Factory Settings
- If flickering persists, consider resetting the Kindle to factory settings as a last resort.
- Go to 'Settings', then 'Device Options'. Select 'Reset'. Confirm when prompted.
- Keep in mind this will erase all content on your device, so back up your books and files beforehand.
