TheVirus · 01-26-2011, 09:55 AM

I have a jailbroken Kindle 3 - screensaver + fonts. I cannot turn the Kindle on. All I see is my custom screen. I've done the power switch for 5,10,15,30 seconds with no luck. I tried blind factory reset with no luck (reset, home, menu, down 5 times, center click twice).

I've left it charging for a few hours and tried again with no luck. I tried creating a 'reboot' file and unplugging it with no luck. I do not have a cover for the device. I can access the files like I normally can through USB.

I will more than likely need to RMA it, but I cannot undo the customizations done to the device. Has anyone had any problems with Amazon on this issue? I copied my documents folder and will erase the contents before I ship it off. Is there any way I can factory reset the device without having it make the screen work?

Thanks.
