Tips and Troubleshooting
This section offers you some tips to help you use your
Kindle. It also provides answers to some questions you
may have.
About the Screen
Q: My screen flashes every time I turn a page.
A: The flash you see when you turn the page is a normal
part of the display refresh process.
Q: My screen is blank. What should I do?
A: First, make sure the power switch on the back of your
Kindle is in the ON position. Next, plug in the power
adapter, and check to see if the charge indicator light
illuminates (your battery may be completely dead).
Battery Charging
Q: The battery does not seem to charge. What is wrong?
A: First, make sure you are using a power outlet that
works. Next, check that the power adapter is
completely plugged into the power outlet, and that the
power adapter tip is fully inserted into the correct jack
on the bottom of your Kindle. (These jacks are shown
in “Bottom View of Kindle” earlier in this guide.)
Finally, you may need to replace your battery. The
battery can be recharged many times; however, it will
eventually wear out. For more information on ordering
replacement batteries, check the Kindle Store on
Amazon.com.
