ah...
Maybe I had a memory error about it being F4 - while looking at the Kubrick screen, try other function keys, see what happens. |

The drive is detected but not the media (I.E: empty drive). Time to get out your serial port hardware. |

You will have to run a terminal emulator, such as PuTTY, on the computer. I don't think PuTTY has touch screen (Win8.1) support, Perhaps something else does. My Windows experience since Win95 amounts to the past five days. I am not the one to be answering Windows questions. = = = = PS: I normally don't even admit in public that I have a Windows license. #81 81 - I forgot to mark #80 80 |

Err, according to the S/N, that's a PW1. I don't think Kubrick can do anything for those, or am I misremembering stuff?

The original, indexed as K5 The others are indexed as PW-2 and PW-3 Compare the first four characters of your devices serial number with this table: https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/Kindle_Serial_Numbers (You can find that both on a (working) Kindle and on your Amazon Kindle Account.) Now see the sticky at the top of the index page "Where do I start?" Select that. Click your model nickname. If your model nickname isn't shown, pick K5/PW-1 find the 'teardown' links in the index (the PW-1, 2, 3 are similar enough for you to use). Then pick "hardware" in the master index. Select any of the serial port entries. Order your adapter if you don't have one already. Then connect the adapter to the serial port. Note: If you don't have hot soldering skills, see my "Paint and Play" thread. Then find any of the threads about serial port recovery here. |
