Hello all! First off, thank you all for such a great resource of information ~ it really helps those of us who do not speak programming language!

Accordingly, I was hoping to get some help with my Paperwhite: I installed the JailBreak software, followed by the Screensaver hack. Soon, I was marveling at my uploaded M.C. Escher lithographs every time I put my Kindle to sleep.

However, last week my Paperwhite was running low on battery, so I plugged it in (to a wall outlet). When I started it the following day, it would only load the default screensavers (pencils, ink well, typewriter, etc).

When I installed the hack, I moved all the default screensavers to a backup folder as recommended. In fact, I'm not even sure where it is finding the default screensavers; to test the system, I deleted the default ones off the Kindle and it STILL was able to load them!

Did the hack fail? Do I just have to reinstall? I loved having the custom screensavers, but I don't want to do anything that will put my Kindle at risk of being an oversize paperweight.

Thanks in advance for any advice!
