I charged my Kindle for about 24 hours on a wall charger.

PC is just not picking up the Kindle. So even with the noob guide, I can't get past point 4. I hear a lot of 'device pick up' and 'device dropped' (kwim?) noises when I do the 'hold power button for 30 sec's, then vol - button for 1 second' bit.

But pc does not pick up kindle. (Have tried 2 different cables, also 2 different pc's). (Kindle does however have the little orange light on when it's plugged in?)

Can it still be the battery? Or might it be that the hardware is buggered completely?
