Strangest thing - Kindle Fire HDX with 80% charge suddenly won't turn on. Tried holding down power button to force it off and then turn back on, but nothing... Tried power button and volume down, nothing...
Tried charging for several hours, still nothing.
Any other ways to try and power it on or reset it back to original condition?
I tried plugging it in over USB, but Win 7 just says it can't find a driver for "qhsusb bulk"
Wow, don't take my word for it but that sounds similar to omap4440 on the second gens, not saying its hard bricked but if I had to take a guess at what that device is abbreviating it would be Qualcomm high security USB, like the Qualcomm processor the kindle hdx has, a snap dragon with some kind of high security(locked boot loader). I have no idea if I'm right but its just a guess and a shot in the dark so I'd wait for other opinions, I just find this interesting so I thought I'd throw my two cents in.

This just happened to me. Had it for less than 2 weeks. I had filled up its memory to near full capacity when I figured that I needed to clear out room. Plugged it into my PC and started to delete photos, about 4Gbs worth. After a few seconds of clearing memory, the Kindle began rebooting. I did this 5-6 times, very slowly deleting these photos. The Screens then conks out. Won't respond to power button reboot. According to Device Manager, it's recognized as QHSUSB_BULK, but it doesn't have the drivers installed.

Try copying down the lines on the device's properties in the device manger under the details tab on hardware id's. Might be able to find a matching driver for it based on its vid and paid online with a Google search. Also share them here to plz as I am curious.

I am having this exact same issue. I downloaded numerous episodes of prime TV content that would come close to the max capacity of my 64GB Kindle HDX 7". This morning I went to turn it back on and now it will not turn back on. Pluggin it in to the USB on my computer shows a driver not found with the "qhsusb bulk" showing as well.

I have declared it bricked. Since it's still new, Amazon was able to replace the device, no fuss.
Does this seem like its hitting both the 7" and 8.9" HDX or just the 7inch?
froze on my 8.9" as well

It happened on my 8.9" HDX. Mine was not from filling the storage - I had only installed a few books the first few hours I had it. Next morning it was dead. Sent it back to Amazon and am waiting for replacement, but they are out so will have to wait a few weeks for replacement.
Bad internal memory?

Hi! If you tablet is bricked, you can make factory reset with adb! This is working!
Code:
adb reboot recovery
After choose factory reset.
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
- this is command reboot in fastboot
I tested it and it working! Sorry for my English, I am from Russia

This should work for people who are bricked.
I had this issue on my 7" after only 2 days...tried Amazon's suggested 'remedies' to no avail, and then called their support who basically put me through similar tasks, also with no joy. Finally declared it a lost cause and they overnighted me a replacement (Saturday delivery!)...I've had the replacement now for a little over a week, without incident, so far (knock on wood).
How do you do the adb commands if you can't turn on the device?

You can't.
Had a red screen come up when kindle powers on. Ran KFU 0.9.9 on the device. Device powered down and does not boot any more. Is there a way to reset the kindle, jumper the board, to get it to boot.
So my kid has a 3rd Gen Fire. I got it for him like 3 yrs. ago. At the time I loaded TWRP and CM11. Been fine ever since. Yesterday evening he claims while playing some Minecraft like game (Block craft 3D) the tablet screen went black and the boot loop started.
Now it's stuck there, it restarts itself every 35-37 secs (timed), and only reads "Kindle Fire" in white, then screen flashes and repeats. I can hold power to turn off, volume up/down combinations do nothing.
I used the factory cable, but device manager doesn't pop up anything. I told him high chances it's dead. Yet it'd be awesome to be able to go back and tell him I fixed it.
Does anyone have any further suggestions? or confirmation this is a end of service life type error? TIA

Being plugged to either PC or wall charged does not change the loop behavior.

Device is likely gone; older 3rd gens are known for blown EMMC likely due to internal heating. Check auction sites for offerings; many good deals as folks fail to recognize the full potential of this device which remains competitive today. All 3rd (not 4th) gen HDX varients can be easily rooted and refreshed with the latest Android (Nougat based) ROMs - without using Safestrap.
That said, there is a somewhat involved procedure for dumping a HDX into 'bulk mode' to attempt a last ditch recovery. It is not for the faint of heart and won't help if the device has a hardware fault. I'd have to hunt down links and hand you off to another resource (@draxie) if you want to explore further.
My brother tried to do some modding on his Kindle Fire 6 4th gen and has now handed it off to me to try and fix. The device won't power on at all. I don't know if he did something to the bootloader or what but no matter what combo of buttons I hold I can't get any kind of display. I did notice that when it's plugged into my computer the device manager detects a MT65xx preloader but then it goes away. Then it comes back and goes away over and over.
I do have a fastboot cable but that didn't do anything either. Thoughts? Is it completely toast?
Holy Crap! I found this and it worked!

The screen on my Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 suddenly went blank while I was using it. The battery was not very low. I tried pressing the power button for 20, 30 and 50 seconds but nothing. I connected it to a PC but did not detect anything. I thought the battery died, so I bought a new one and installed it but no luck. My Kindle just won't power on anymore. I don't hear any sound either which makes me hesitant to buy a new replacement screen.
Is there a way to fix it? Which component(s) could be dead? Or is it designed to fail after a number of years ? I thought only the screen and/or battery could die with age. My Kindle is 6 years old, but I have been taking care of it.
Thanks.

Likely a component on the main or daughter board took a dump. Not much you can do about that aside from replace and hope. Probably more cost effective to grab a lightly used one off eBay or another auction site.
