Kindle not responding

bugsy74 · 10-29-2012, 09:34 PM

Hello all,

My kindle keyboard screen cracked so I ordered a new one from china and installed the new one. I was very careful and it seems fine.

However, when I turn on the kindle the green light come on but nothing happens. The screen doesn't react at all. I tried re installing the cracked screen to see if it would respond and that nothing happens when I turn on the kindle either (previously, even with a cracked screen half of the screen would respond). Now nothing.

I then plugged the kindle into my PC. It recognizes that there is a removable disk but when I double click it, I get a message "Please insert a disk into removable disk (F

".

Is there any hope to recover this kindle.

Any help would be appreciated.

It sounds like a dead battery. Charge it with a wall charger for 20 hours and try again. That "empty removable disk" could be from the kindle going to "low battery" mode so it can charge from a USB port, but use a wall charger.

Thanks, charged battery and now works fine.

Okay, I added the following message to the top of the first post in the simple debricking sticky thread:

Quote:

NOTE: Before debricking, CHARGE THE BATTERY ON A WALL CHARGER FOR 20 HOURS! Seriously. We have been plagued with too many recent reports of "bricked" kindles that only had a battery so discharged that it could only be charged slowly (20 hour charge curve). After charging, either the kindle works as-is, or at least debricking will function correctly.

I think we need something like this in ALL the debricking-related threads / wikis / documents.

I was ahead of the curve at the K3 noobs guide
