Kindle 1 :

This is some what tough to do. the first thing to try is press

ALT +SHIFT+R in your kindle. This should do a soft reset on the device and kindle should reboot now

if that doesn’t work, then we should go for a hard reset. following are the steps to do a hard reset.

Remove back cover of Kindle
you can do it by gently pressing and holding the back cover and slide it to the right side.
Look for the Reset button
You can see a reset button on top of the battery compartment.See it in the above figure
Now using  a paper clip or small object , press on the reset button. after some minutes the kindle should restart and turn on.
There’s always a final note:
if both the above reset didn’t work, then try this also

• Remove the battery from your kindle
• Directly connect to the AC adapter with out the battery
• Put back the battery and let it charge for some time.

Kindle 2 / Kindle DX :

Kindle 2 / Kindle DX reset is more easier than Kindle 1

for Kindle 2 , its not easy removing the cover. so Amazon has given a nice function to reset from power button itself

Press and hold the power button for 20 seconds. this should do the soft reset on kindle 2 / kindle dx
