Ah, well - it was worth a try! If you look around, there are a few of us trying to get to the bottom of the odd behaviour of KTs, hence the questions.

I'll let you guys know if it comes back alive OK (i.e. with responsive touch-screen) after its first nap .. fingers crossed !
Good luck! Out of interest, is your sister-in-law's KT on 2.1.1 or an earlier version?

Yes - as I understand it, e-ink devices don't draw any power when off, even though something is on the screen.
