@pakela Thanks for the link. I'll buy it from there, they also have a store in spain.

What you should do if you wanna try see if you computer can see it is :
1. Plug the kindle in
2. use the command : dmesg

You should see something like this :
[105628.104580] scsi 14:0:0:0: Direct-Access Kindle Internal Storage 0100 PQ: 0 ANSI: 2
[105628.145553] sd 14:0:0:0: [sdd] Attached SCSI removable disk

This means that the kindle is the data drive of the kindle is /dev/sdd. And in that case you should have a partition named /dev/sdd1.

if you wanna mount it, as root type : mount /dev/sdd1 /where/you/want/to/mount/it

But if you have the same problem as me, the only thing that would help would be to connect with a serial cable and try to restore the kindle os with some image you can find on the internet.

As I mentionned in my previous posts, I am not sure the screen will ever work again though. So I try more for the sake or hacking the kindle than of having it as working device again.

Tchüss.
