Kindle Fire - help please!

I have had a Kindle Fire for a while now. This is a replacement, as the sound went on the first. I've been very happy with it so far but two days ago I accidentally let the battery run out completely, which I never normally do. Now, after over twenty four hours on charge, (I've tried three different cables) it still won't switch on. I've tried holding in the start-up button for well over thirty seconds but nothing.

I do hope someone can help as I'm going on holiday on Saturday and my Kindle is my constant companion!

Thanks, in advance.

try the 20/2 method...
hold the power button 20 seconds, release, then 2 seconds and release... no more, no less for each hold. within the next 20 seconds you should then see the scree "ripple" and it come on

if that doesnt work... go to amazon.co.uk and help.. and chat to someone live on there.

Thanks, orangeballoon. Yes, I tried that to no avail. Going on holiday tomorrow - will contact Amazon on my return.

Does it work if you connect it to a USB port on a computer for two hours?

I tried it for one hour - nothing. Perhaps I'll try two. Thanks.
