I have had my kindle fire since christmas 2011. i went to go turn it on saturday and it is just dead... the battery was 3/4 full just a few minutes before so i know it wasnt that. i went immediately to go plug it in to my charger and nothing happened. no light will come on, just nothing, dead. this was 3 days ago. it was not dropped or damaged in any way, just died. the only thing i can think of was that i was getting low on internal memory but i dont know if that would cause it to just die. please help, my kindle is my life. i have pictures downloaded on it that are very dear to me. i use it from the time i wake up in the morning to just before i fall aasleep

Hello.

Reset your Kindle.

There's a little hole inside the battery cover area. Put in a pin or paperclip end and press. The Kindle should unlock.

Hope this helps.

SOURCE: WHY DOES OUR KINDLE 3

The kindle does in fact have social features! The kindle allows you to share highlighted text on facebook. Here is a quick quide to get you started!
Sharing on a Registered NetworkPosting to Facebook or Twitter is as easy as highlighting a passage and adding a comment. When you select the share option, your comments will be sent automatically to your registered social networking sites, appended with a backlink to a web page showing the passage you highlighted.
To create a highlight and note to share:

  1. Place the cursor at the beginning of the passage using the 5-way controller and press down to anchor it.
  2. Highlight the passage using the 5-way controller.
  3. Enter your note or comment about the passage you highlighted. (There is a 100 character limit.)
  4. Select "save & share" from the options at the bottom of the note window when finished.
If you don't have a Facebook or Twitter account associated with your Kindle account, you'll automatically be prompted to manage your social network registration before your message is posted. If you choose not to link your Kindle account to your social media networks, your highlights and notes will still be saved in the book, as well as at https://kindle.amazon.com.
To share from your existing notes and marks:
  1. Open the book that contains the note or highlight.
  2. Press the Menu button and select "View My Notes & Marks."
  3. Highlight the item you wish to share in your Notes & Marks.
  4. Press Alt + 832217950.gif on the keyboard to share.
You can also navigate to a section in your book that contains a note or highlight, select it with your cursor, and press Alt + 832217950.gif on the keyboard to share.

I charged my kindle, but can't get it to turn on

According to Love My Kindle Fire, nearly every Kindle owner will, at some point, need to learn how to "reset" their machine.
"When I hear (or read) these words from those who are experiencing a problem with their Kindle Fire it usually ends with something like, "turn on", "charge", or "work".

If suddenly your Kindle Fire won't work, then its most likely locked up. However, sometimes when it locks up, you can't tell because the screen goes dark (either gray or black). It just looks like it's off when in fact it is already one. cause the screen goes dark, either gray or black. It just looks like it's off when in fact your Kindle Fire is on but is stuck. When an electronic device locks up or freezes usually resetting it fixes the problem. Resetting your Kindle Fire is actually really easy, just hold down the power button for at least 20 seconds. .If your Kindle Fire won't turn on it's possible the battery went dead (if it was left "on" too long).
Plug in the power charger and wait about 15 minutes to make sure it gets enough charge, and then try turning it on again.
If it still won't turn on, try to reset the Kindle Fire again to be sure it's powered off.
If it still won't work, try someone else's charger, in case yours died.

I left my Kindle fire on and it went dead. Now I cannot turn it on

Put it on charge for at least an hour.

Press and HOLD the power button in the ON position for a slow count of 30.
Ignore whatever happens and just keep it held on.
Now go drink a cup of tea and let it calm down.

Now touch the power button as normal to turn on.

`kindle fire

Sounds like your power cord is dead and that it's not charging. If it's new bring it back to the store you bought it from and get a new one.
