It would work fine for awhile, and then it would lock up and I would not use it for a period of time. I had a similar problem with my Kindle Fire. If it turns on, but locks up it should still show the clock running. If the green light is on or the battery icon shows it as being charged, it is unlikely the battery. PART 1: PROBLEMS WITH LOCK-UPS WITH KINDLE FIRE DEVICES Always check to see that you are disconnected from the wifi when operating off the battery supply except for short periods of time, otherwise when the battery runs low the KF will more than likely lock-up. It is a good idea to charge the battery for at least four hours before using it again without a connection to a power supply source. A green light means the battery is fully charged. A red light at the on-off button shows the battery is discharged. If it is locked up, you will need to hold the on-off button for 15-25 seconds to turn it off.
It is best to turn off the device and let it charge. Simply connect the KF to a power supply source and recharge the device. When the battery runs down it will usually cause a lock-up.
