Resolve Liquid Detection Issues on 
Your Fire Tablet 
The charging port on tablets with USB-C ports are sensitive 
to liquid. If liquid is detected in the port, an alert is 
displayed on-screen and you are temporarily not allowed to 
charge the device."
Note:"
• A liquid detection notification appears intermittently as 
liquid evaporates from the USB-C port."
• Do not use any other methods or products to dry the 
USB-C port, as the device can become permanently 
damaged."
1. If you’re charging, unplug the cable from the device. 
Failure to do so can result in permanent damage. An 
audio alert and pop-up icon can not be dismissed until 
you unplug the cable."
2. Hold the device facing port side down and gently 
shake it for about 5 seconds, or until liquid is not visibly 
present in the port."
3. Rest the device on a flat surface to dry completely (for 
up to 48 hours). If liquid is detected in the port, a liquid 
icon is displayed on the device screen."
You can still use your device when liquid is detected. After 
the liquid icon disappears, you can charge your device."
