keyboard crash/boot
Hi there all. I've got a Kindle Keyboard, which I've had for around 18 months. It's worked fine in all that time and I've had no issues. I've only had a small amount of books on this. In the last 48 hours it updated itself to 3.4 since then it's started to crash all the time. Sometimes it won't even turn a page.
I have done the old restart and after this it freezes instantly on the 'home' page. After this I deleted all the books, still the same. I then did a restore to factory settings and it's still the same (but still says it's 3.4) Can anyone help or suggest anything? Thanks, Galvatron. |

Did you jailbreak or hack the Kindle?

I'd suggest contacting Kindle CS.

Won't they just suggest I buy a new one as it's well past its guarantee date.
Is there no way to roll back the firmware to its original version? |

Kindle CS are extremely helpful - you have absolutely nothing to lose by speaking to them. They may very well be able to solve your problem.
You'd need to ask about rolling back the firmware in the "Developer's Corner" sub-forum. |
