The 'Search This' screen on Kindle won't go away - Help? The cursor won't go into the Go to box, and it stays up and blocking my text even when I restart, go to Menu etc. Help?

I think I screwed up my 1st reply!!!To be even more precise, because I went around in circles before I got it right , after moving the cursor to settings click enter and then click menu and you will get the screen that has the restart option.

I left my Kindle with my wife for 60 seconds while I moved the car, and she managed to get this screen up.. How did she manage do to it? The hard restart that Mustafa speaks of worked just fine.. I just want to know how she managed to get the screen up and make it stay up.

Hi there I had this same problem. This is how I fixed it:restart the Kindle by pressing Home > Menu > Settings > Menu and select "Restart."Your Kindle should restart within a few minutes and the screen will be back to normal. Good luck, and let me know if it worked!

My "Go To" screen was also stuck on the page. This hard reboot also worked for me. One detail to help -- you have to start at the very beginning screen where all your book titles are listed. That is what Jenna means by "home". From there, just click "menu", "settings", etc. as she says. Worked great. Thanks so much.

I've had my Kindle for a couple of weeks now, and I just noticed screen burn. On the upper left, I can see the title of the book I've been reading, even when the Kindle is powered down, or I'm at the main page. Why this burn happens, I don't know, since, in theory, you shouldn't be on the same page for more than 10 minutes before it puts up the screen saver.

Hey guys, I know this thread concerns the screen, but I have a quick question. Has anyone tried loading the Kindle software on this thing & read a book? Are the books in color? The only reason I'm asking is because that's the only reason I would buy this.

Good question. I had to go try that for myself. It's both, a space bar or a scroll button. I find if you want to type in a search box (for instance) you must first click on the search box or it won't be in "typing mode", it will be "scrolling mode". So click first before typing and you will get the spacer bar. I hope that clears it up for you. I use the directional arrows or the pgup or pgdn buttons for scrolling so the space bar is a new scroll button for me.

Sadly, that sounds like the LCD... If you decide to replace it, I recommend disassembling your current kindle first and verifying the connector type on the LCD. There are 2 types offered, and it would be unfortunate to order the wrong one..

If you have the Kindle with the help button, I would try calling them. They have helped me with many issues. It's worth a try! Good luck.

All I can say is good luck. I stopped using my Nook when I husband bought me a Kindle last year. I had had this particular Nook for a year and started having to charge it everyday even when I wasn't using it. I tried to charge it sometime after getting the Kindle just to transfer books off it and same problem. Wouldn't charge or turn on even when plugged in. If B & N does have a solution, please pass it along. I don't think I've thrown mine out yet.

When I close the cover the unit goes to a black screen. When I open it back up I have to slide the lock over and the Kindle is back to the home page. If you peek down inside while it is closed it is black. The only complaint I have is that the cover has to be upside down all the time when playing games.

This is a problem with the digitizer. I did this to my Kindle too. I could still use the touch screen but part of my screen was white.

I agree with Bob. I recommend you send it back and get your money back. Get a Kindle Fire or something that isn't D2. Had mine less then 2 months and it went total blue screen (screen of death). It's not worth having. But if you insist on keeping it, you'll have to do a reset.

Remove the shield on the back of your Kindle. There will be a very tiny "hole" around the middle of your unit. Take the end of a paper clip, pierced earring point, or needle and gentle press it into the hole holding it down so the Kindle can "reset". It is good to "refresh" you Kindle periodically. Good luck

Try slowly pulling up the corner on the bottom of the kindle. It should pull away from the protector. Then pull it off. This happened to me the first time I install the protector. Once you get the corner up it will come off easy. I did have to tabs but pulled it off accidentally when installing.

I never had this problem until the past month or two. It's not the cover, because it does it when the cover is off. I think it's the Kindle. Maybe it is slower in loading data? If I touch the screen and wait a minute it goes ahead and opens.

Can Sony delete books off their e-readers? I don't think they can or do. So that's one major advantage it has over Kindle, sadly. I really wanted a Kindle, but until this mess is sorted out with 1984, I'm going to stick with less controlled systems. I guess I'll have to live without whispernet, which I think sounds like a killer feature if it isn't used against me.

No. Call amazon. I have had to return my kindle for the same reason. Try shutting it down completely, then start back up and plug back in. Hope it helps.

No help I need an answer this question. The case I bought covers the Kindle, but you have to take it out of the case to turn it on and off. Which one can I buy that will allow me to turn it on and off?????

UPDATE TO THIS ISSUE: I went to Acer's Store (it's on your desktop unless you've deleted it), clicked on Tech Support and then Email Support. If you complete the form there and write a brief message, the site will come up with suggestions on the erratic cursor. I forget how it was labeled but it shows in a different window just how to adjust the sensitiviity settings to eliminate the issue most of us are experiencing! Try it, I think you'll be happy with the results.
