Kindle Fire HD Replacement

Hi, I got a Kindle Fire HD for christmas, and it was purchased the day before Christmas Eve (the 23 of Dec.) so, there for, I have not had it for 30 days. I tripped with it in my hands the other day, and it landed face down and the screen cracked. Can I get it replaced or fixed?
Please reply ASAP.
Thanks, 
Taylor

Did you buy a Best Buy protection plan? If you have a protection plan through Best Buy, they will take care of it. If you are only under the manufacturer warranty, you are probably out of luck. Manufacturers don't cover accidental damage. There IS a 30 day return period, but only if the item has no physical damage, which is no longer the case with your device.
Another option you can explore, though... If you bought it with a credit card, some banks offer accidental damage protection on items purchased with the card. You'd have to contact your bank to inquire about this, though.

  • Loose port kindle fire.

    Does anyone know from experience if I can replace my 11 month olds kindle fire which has a loose port and thus has issues charging. I've gotten to the point that I shut off the kindle and let it charge fully because if its on and connected to the power cord the charging light will not come on. 
    And next question, if they do replace do I get a new tablet or a refurbished one? Yes I have the protection plan, which is up next month. I don't want to renew the plan I can can't get replacement or will get refurbished one. 
    And I also found that this is a common issue with kindles.
    Thanks for any help!

    Hi Squinlan,
    Thanks for shopping with Best Buy.
    As CrystalWoW said, we would typically replace your Kindle with a refurbished unit. Please bring your Kindle and receipt in to the Geek Squad counter and chat with our agents for help and let us know if you have any other questions in the meantime.

  • Why can't I Skype with a kindle fire HD?

    I would love to Skype with my family in another state but I am UN able to I am new to a kindle fire HD please help

    Did all that and more. Reset to factory defaults on the advise of their techs. Stripped all other apps and Skype worked fine for two weeks. As soon as I installed Mapquest, Skype started crashing again. Removed Mapquest, still crashes. The problem is that the longer Skype is installed on a kindle, the more problems show up. I have been dealing with Amazon on this for two months and their only solution is to replace the unit, a move I don't believe will solve the problem. This is an OS and software conflict problem I believe. If anyone has had a Kindle Fire HD work for months without Skype problems, I would love to hear it, because as of yet I have not seen a single report of that being the case.

  • Kindle Fire will not charge

    Recently my kindle decided that it did not want to charge. I tried doing a hard shut down, but that didn't work. I don't know what else to try. Also, my kindle was a gift from my Aunt. She bought the warranty with it but she does not know where her papers for it are. How could we get the information on the warranty plan she purchased?She doesn't remember.
    Solved!

    Hello vanbond13!
    I hope you are enjoying your Kindle Fire. Can you please describe your peoblem with a little more details? When you try to charge it are you charging it with your computer or the wall charger? Does the kindle recognise that it is being charged when plugged in?
    You could have a short in the charging cord. You may simply need to replace the power cord. If this is not the issue I would take it to your local Best Buy and see if the Geek Squad can diagnose your porblem. If your device is in fact defective your product will either be repaired or replaced under the Geek Squad Protection. All Best Buy needs to look up your waranty information is the phone number your aunt used when she purchased the plan.

  • Kindle Fire HD problems with Verizon FIOS

    This has happened to me several times now and Amazon has even shipped me two replacement kindles to resolve the problem which I have no deteremined is the fault of Verizon FIOS and not Amazon. 
    The problem: The Kindle Fires will not download books or stream/download purchased movies from Amazon but will instead hang and then timeout. 
    I was able to obtain a debug log from the kindle fire and it is full of messages like this:
    amazon_main5:05-22 22:12:46.412  3846  4259 E AmazonVideo.service: EXCEPTION: Making request to https://atv-ext.amazon.com/cdp/library/GetLibrary?firmware=fmw:15-app:1.0.3089.1-ATVAndroidTateClien... java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Read timed out
    however, I am able to make these same requests from any other machine and they proceed fine:
    macbook$ curl 'https://atv-ext.amazon.com/cdp/library/GetLibrary?firmware=fmw:15-app:1.0.3089.1-ATVAndroidTateClien...

    I have no idea why this is happening JUST FROM THE KINDLE FIRE. Our iPhones, iPad and Rokus have no issue streaming from amazon and i've sent hours on the phone with amazon who are correctly pointing out that this is an issue with Verizon FIOS, most likely with the junky actiontec router. 
    Need more proof? Connecting the kindles to the hotspot on my cell phone or using any other wi-fi network allows streaming and the downloading of books.

    You say "I have no idea why this is happening JUST FROM THE KINDLE FIRE. Our iPhones, iPad and Rokus have no issue streaming from amazon and i've sent hours on the phone with amazon who are correctly pointing out that this is an issue with Verizon FIOS, most likely with the junky actiontec router."  And then you blame the Verizon router for the issue even though you say other devices are working fine.
    It's an issue of how the javascript executes on the Kindle, per the log entry you post.  That has nothing to do with the router but indicates that the Kindle is failing to properly execute the java call and interact with the server.
    Try forgetting and then re-establishing the Kindle Wifi connections to the router.  If that doesn't work, if you've changed the default settings of your router, try doing a factory reset of it.  If you can do a factory reset of your Kindle, try performing that also. 
    You problem is likely not widespread as there are no complaints like this on the various forums I monitor that cover issues with FiOS Internet.  My neighbor (who has a Kindle Fire and FiOS Internet) has no issue like yours.

  • Have a macbook pro running osx lion, connected a kindle fire using micro usb to transfer pictures and the disk icon won't show up on the desktop.  When I ran disk utilities the kindle does show up there.  Any thoughts as to why it's not recognizing?

    Precisely why it's not an iPad, and why it doesn't cost very much.  An Apple rep would tell you how to connect an iPad to every computer.

    The latest Kindle Fire HD is not officially supported by Flash Player.  Please see this page for a list of all certified devices:

  • How do I add a whitelist on AirPort Utility to connect a Kindle Fire?

    All of a sudden my daughter's Kindle Fire says it has no wireless connection even though I have the name and password entered correctly. Is this some type of update on the Kindle side? The Kindle tells me (when I tap on the connected wifi name for my computer) signal strength is excellent, status is connected, shows my security with a WPA and additional codes. I have been reading that there is a whitelist I can add devices too but am so illiterate on my MAC that I cannot find it or where to go...my apologies. What do I/ should I do? I am confused as to why I see the Kindle and my computer are connected to wifi but then I receive an error message. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!

    There isn't a whitelist, per se, on the AirPort routers. Instead there is a means to prevent a wireless device from accessing the AirPort by its hardware MAC address. Unless you have enabled this feature, via the AirPort Utility, all wireless devices should be able to connect.
    One area to look at as a possible cause, is the Network Name (aka SSID) that you are using for your AirPort's Wi-Fi network. If it contains special characters or spaces, you may want to consider changing it to something that has neither to see if this helps.

  • Can I use my Kindle Fire with iTunes?

    Not if you mean using iTunes to sync your music to your Kindle, no. You'll need to use whatever procedure Amazon provides for transferring tracks from the iTunes folder your computer to the Kindle.

  • How can I print from my Kindle Fire HD?

    How can I print from my Kindle Fire HD?  I have an e-printer (HP Photosmart 7510 C3lla e-All-In- Onew series).  I can print from my Apple I-Pad but cannot determine if/how I can print from the Kindle Fire HD.

    Android devices do not support built in printing liek airprint on your apple device, so you will have to use the HP Eprint Home and Biz app in order to print from that device. It is available for free in the Amazon Market.

  • Why can't I install the flash player on my Kindle Fire???

    I have tried several times to install the flash player on my Kindle Fire but it keeps telling me there is an issue opening the download. How am I able to download it yet am unable to install it. It makes no sense to me why it would be able to download yet not be able to open the installation. Is this a problem that is being fixed? I've tried to "troubleshoot" this issue myself but there is little information on it. If the Kindle Fire is unable to install the Adobe Flash player then there needs to be some changes made either on your companies part or Amazons. There are apps offered on the Kindles that need this flash player in order to operate. If you could back to me with an answer as soon as possible I would greatly aprreciate it. Thank you.

    Hi,
    Although we continue to provide security and patch releases for Android devices which originally shipped with Adobe Flash Player, new feature development for the Android browser has drawn to a close as we shift our focus to Adobe AIR for mobile applications. For more details on the rationale for our decision I refer you to the following article.
    http://blogs.adobe.com/conversations/2011/11/flash-focus.html
    The following article describes how to manually install the Adobe Flash Player manually on your Android device.

    Another alternative is to install the SkyFire browser, which appears to support Flash Video.

  • HT3642 Does anyone know of an app for the Kindle Fire that will allow me to access my movies from my iTune account?

    I just purchased a Kindle Fire HD 8.9. I would like to be able to access my iTunes account to play my movies that I have purchased. Does anyone know if it is possible to do this and if so how? If not is there a way to download the movies to my computer so I could transfer them via USB?

    Since the documents are on the server and not your work computer it doesn't matter that your work computer is off.
    Usually computers on a work network are firewalled from the internet. Without knowing the details of your network it is impossible to know wether it is possible. Perhaps you should speak to the IT person at your work.
    If it is possible you will probably need an app that can access the documents on the server using a compatible protocol. I am not aware of an app that handles standard Windows file sharing. Goodreader can do ftp and webDAV. You may require something like webDAV enabled on the server.
