Which home screen on which device?
On your Kindle. Also, can you specify why you can't get into it?

I cannot get into my Kindle. It will not open at all no matter what I try. it allows me to swipe it open but all I get is the screen I was using to order a book and in the middle of the s reen is a box (that gave me the initial message to contact Kindle and then the message disappeared leaving the 'empty' box on the screen.
Got it, and could you tell me the text that you saw in that box?
Customer Reply
It went off before I had chance to read all of the message. All I saw was telling me to contact kindle.
Understood, and the Kindle is not operational now, correct?
Customer Reply
Yes, I can't get into anything. I feel as somehow the box left in the middle is may be blocking everything
Could you tell me more about the box you're referring to?
Customer Reply
It is simply an empty box about 8cm x 1.5cm across the middle of the screen
Thanks for clarifying that, and is it possible for you to take a picture of your Kindle in it's state? It would really help me out :)
Customer Reply
No sorry I don't know how to do that
Now, could you please locate the "Power" button on your Kindle?
Customer Reply
I have a button but I don't use it because the kindle switches off when I close it and comes back on when I open it
That's the button you need to use to remove the blank box from your screen. Please, press and hold the Power button for about 40 seconds and tell me, what comes up on your screen
Customer Reply

Your Kindle is restarting now, correct?
