Any news on the power button fix?
Mine after a while stop working, i could activate it only by conecting it to a usb and for a while was working after i repeted push the power button and last push was longer then stop working again even with this method, then not wakeup even when i connect it to USB. After 6 month + when he sit in a drawer someone told me that might work if i blow some air in the button and clear the dust that might gather under it.
And now starts the funny part. It seems that the battery was totaly depleted and after a long charge the Kindle touch started to wake up when connected to USB. I say, ok how can blow some air under the button, not haveing some air spray or something like that i blow it with my mouth (jokes on me
) and after two long blows the button started to work normaly, for a while.
And the strange part, after a day i tried the button again and was dead. Blow it again and didnt work imediatley, only a couple of minutes after, again, worked like new. Let it to enter in standby mode and some times wasnt wakeup only after i blew it again.
What i think is that the air having umidity too is creating condensed on the surface of the button and can make normal contact again. Dont know, but is reminding me of those remote control buttons that has the metal dust clean off from the plastic membrane and couldnt make a bridge between the metal lines on the circuit board.
Anybody knows what kind of button it has in there? part number/ type or something.
Let me know if this stupid methond (Thank you Amazon!) works for you too or what could be that this metod triger the button to work normally.
Thank you.
