Chosen Solution
I only had my Kindle Fire HD for a matter of months before the keyboard stopped popping up. I click into a Search Bar (or something else that requires me to type) and… nothing. This obviously limits its function, so now it’s pretty much just a dust collector. Any suggestions?
I found a solution guys you go to SETTINGS then KEYBOARD AND LANGUAGE the scroll down to CURRENT KEYBOARD and select JAPANESE keyboard that will make the key board pop up but itll write it in japanese but where the “SYM” symbol would normaly be there you can change to engle there will be a japanese symble and A and a 1 put it on the A and go to store then you can type and add a keyboard from there typing problen solved
Hi. Have you tried resetting the unit? Resetting your Kindle Fire can solve intermittent problems. To reset your device: Make sure your device is disconnected from any power source. Press in the power switch and hold it there for 20 seconds. The screen should turn off, once the screen is fully turned off press the power button in for 2 seconds and release. The device will turn back on and you will see the Kindle Fire loading screen. This reset will not affect any books or content you have on the Kindle.
Install a new keyboard and then set that as ur default
I tried many solutions, the only thing that helped my kindle was setting it to factory default (Settings > Device > Reset to Factory Defaults ). But you will loose all installed applications, pictures and other stuff.
If you dig through responses, a user named Far Isle explained a PERFECT solution….as long as you can access the main screen. Go to Settings, Device Settings & Keyboard option. From that screen, deselect the US English Keyboard and select another country’s English keyboard! I selected both Canada and UK…defaulted to UK on my Kindle Fire HD 10. For good measure I held down the power button until it shut off and then waited a minute before restarting…now the keyboard comes up and types beautifully! (As it should!!)

I typed this six weeks ago and no issues since!
I have the same issue. but use the voice button, or Alexa to get somethings done. I can’t find the setting for the keyboard.
Change your keyboard’s language to a different language

I had this issue for my Fire Tablet 10HD (9th edition). Adding a new keyboard worked. I was also able to make it work with the Spanish (Latin American) keyboard so maybe any other keyboard works. With that new keyboard added I was able to factory reses the device (mine needed a PIN to reset it) and the keyboard works great in my original non-functioning language (English) after the factory reset.
Hold the power key down for 40 seconds and let it reset itself. When you switch back on, the bug should have gone. At least this worked with mine.
