AN FYI FOR THOSE UPDATING TO 5.3.1

I was running 5.3.0 with Python and Linkss. I successfully updated to 5.3.1. However, the update "broke" my screensaver app. Without uninstalling anything, I successfully reinstalled python. However, when I reinstalled Linkss, I thought it bricked my kindle. My Kindle was stuck with the Kindle "tree" screen being displayed without any text and it was unresponsive to touch as well as the off/on switch and could not be accessed via the USB port.

What to do ????

I kept holding down the off/on switch. Eventually, the Kindle resumed the Linkss installation and completed it successfully. I was sure that my Kindle was bricked. All is well now.

Having previously install Linkss, I'm sure that I had waited long enough.
