Kindle Paperwhite is an excellent e-reader that offers a wide range of features to its users. However, like any other electronic device, it can experience issues from time to time. Fortunately, there are ways to fix these problems, and one of them is by performing a reboot. In this post, we will show you how to reboot your Kindle Paperwhite.
Performing a reset on your Kindle Paperwhite is helpful when you encounter a frozen screen, problems with downloading content, or issues with the touch screen. There are two ways to reset your device – through the button only or through the menu.
To perform a reset with the button, hold the button for a full 40 seconds. Do not do anything with the screen during this time. Once the 40 seconds are up, let go of the button. You will see the bar loading up, and within 30 seconds up to a minute, the device should be back to the home screen. This option is useful when the screen is entirely frozen and you cannot get to the home screen.
The second option is through the menu. Select the three bands on the menu, go to settings, and click on the bar at the top right. You will have two options – restart, which is the same as the first reset we performed, or reset device, which is a reset to default. Resetting the device to default will remove all the downloaded or transferred contacts, wiping the device clean. This option is helpful if you are selling the device to someone else or registering it for someone else.
If both of the options do not work, plug the device into a charger and ensure that the charger is working, either for the wall socket or the computer. Wait for half an hour or an hour to see if there is any response on the screen. If you still have some problems, it might be a hardware issue, and we advise checking if you still have a warranty that you can use for your device.
In conclusion, performing a reboot on your Kindle Paperwhite is easy and can fix most issues you might encounter with the device. If you have any queries or concerns, please leave them in the comments section below. Thanks for reading!
