My Kindle fire 2G was working fine and then I switch it on and am stuck at a red screen. Amazon tech support says it's broken, but I've seen people on YouTube manage to get theirs up and running again. At this stage I haven't done anything to it. I have a factory fast boot cable and when I plug it in the screen comes up with fastboot and a green blinky light. What do I do now? Forums and video tuts all have drivers and patches saying I should install Kindle Fire Utility, TWRP, FIRE FIRE FIRE etc, but these all seem to be for the 2nd Generation HD and they say in bold letters that it is only for Kindle Fire 2nd Generation HD - mine is not HD. I don't want brick it even more by installing/modding incorrectly, but I can't find any downloads that are just for 2nd generation, non HD. I'm not a computer noob, but I am clueless when it comes to Android. Any links, suggestions from here?
