Hi,
Suddenly while reading

, my K3 froze up..

and i just used it for a week

.
i tried the 15, 30, 1min, 5min slide button reset trick, but no luck

. it's still dead as doornail, except for the green blinking light

.

when i connected the device to PC, it shows as a normal Kindle usb device, with all my books inside. so, can i reset it via PC?

I am from Malaysia, and i ordered the device via proxy shipping service. to send it back and forth to Amazon for warranty claim would cost me a handsome amount of money and also time (i waited for 3 whole weeks for my K3 to arrive), so i best keep it as my last resort.

help~

any advise would be appreciated.
