What Causes a Kindle White Screen Issue?

Kindle White screens and unresponsive devices are usually caused by one of the following problems:

  • Since Kindles have limited processing power, it’s easy to overload them. In most cases, this occurs when visiting web pages using the browser.
  • If too much data is loaded on a Kindle, it can freeze, leading to the Kindle white screen issue. The same thing usually happens when using a web browser.
  • Kindles may freeze if the battery is low because it reduces power to the processor.
  • The white screen may occur because of problems in the firmware or if the feature you’re trying to use isn’t supported.
