My Kindle fire 2G was working fine and then I switch it on and am stuck at a red screen. Amazon tech support says it's broken, but I've seen people on YouTube manage to get theirs up and running again. At this stage I haven't done anything to it. I have a factory fast boot cable and when I plug it in the screen comes up with fastboot and a green blinky light. What do I do now? Forums and video tuts all have drivers and patches saying I should install Kindle Fire Utility, TWRP, FIRE FIRE FIRE etc, but these all seem to be for the 2nd Generation HD and they say in bold letters that it is only for Kindle Fire 2nd Generation HD - mine is not HD. I don't want brick it even more by installing/modding incorrectly, but I can't find any downloads that are just for 2nd generation, non HD. I'm not a computer noob, but I am clueless when it comes to Android. Any links, suggestions from here?

Hello,
I have had my Kindle rooted fro quite some time but I didn't like it so I decided I would install the new ICS ROM that is out. However, this did not work so I tried to go back to the Kindle system using TWRP and the Kindle Update 6.3.1 from Amazon. Now, all I can see is the Kindle Fire logo for a few seconds then the screen goes black, with the backlight on. The light will stay on until the battery goes dead. Any suggestions?
Heya guys! I just got my kindle fire 2 today, I had this same problem with my previous kindle as well.
I have a fastboot cable but it serves useless at this point. The kindle will not turn on at all; no screen, no power light, nothing.
My guess: I f**ked up on flashing the bootloaders
My solution: ???
Ideas or a fix? I'd rather not call Amazon (again)
If its hard bricked you can do this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2415870
Some insight from the original thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2391047
This is usually above what most people can/are willing to do to fix it though. If you do get it hooked up and need to know what to do next, look at the original thread toward the last pages, it tells the command to run. Or see if kurohyou will fix it, but he seems busy with college.

Hello i have the same problem... My Kindle Fire HD is bricked, not turning on - black screen, led lights not flashing. Is there any other way to fix the problem without soldering? Thanks for help!
Unless you want to lose the data and send it into amazon for a free replacement, then the answer is no. Also you said you are on a HD, the contacts on that model haven't been mapped yet so we really don't have a way worked out to hook it up to a sdcard reader yet.

I had tried to install recovery and boot thing and that never worked out so I tried kindle fire utility to install fire fire fire but then everything went black except for green light so then I held it down till it powered off and now it does nothing even when I try to turn it on please help or else I'm dead by my mom
There you go.
This is for the FIRST GENERATION KINDLE FIREs.
If you use any tool on this forum, your device becoming a brick was inevitable. This is not the right forum, so do not blame the developers.
Good luck retrieving it.?

I don't know how old you are or if you have a soldering iron but there is a way to fix it, I can provide the rest of the instructions he didn't add yet to flash the device. Here's the link to the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2415870
But if that is way above what you can do, if it hasn't been over a year since you purchased it just call amazon and tell them it won't then on and you can send it in for a new one for free.

Hi,
I've noticed that when my fire stick is on sleep mode but I have not used it for a while, when I then go to turn it on to watch something, I find out that kodi has removed the beast from my fire stick so therefore I am greeted to just a blue screen and nothing else on it!
This is really annoying because twice now I've had to restore everything back onto my fire stick.
Does anybody know why this is happening?
I'm hoping someone can help me
Andrew
