I just got my Kindle 3 Yesterday. It had been working fine. Today I changed my country from India to USA downloaded a free eBook which would have otherwise cost me $2. After that for some reason, the WiFi stopped connecting to my home Network which had been working fine. I tried to reboot the Kindle from Settings>Restart/Reboot. It turned off but is not turning on now.
Please note that I have only charged it through my computer's USB port since the adapter which came with it is not compatible with sockets at my home. The battery was sufficient.
Any suggestion? It was on Firmware 3.0.1. I just downloaded the 3.0.3 firmware but can't update since it is not even turning on.
