Chosen Solution

My Kindle fire’s WIFI detection stopped working after months of working OK. I have not changed my home router or settings since installation. My wife also has same model Kindle Fire and it continues to work fine. I have tried resetting to factory defaults numerous times with no success. I have even placed the kindle alongside the wireless router with no success. I have more than enough unused wireless openings to accommidate this and other devices.

Has it gotten wet at all or been dropped harder than usual lately? Both can cause certain grounds/screws to be shorted out or jarred loose. Have you tried taking it apart?
