Kindle is charging (orange light and green light when fully charged).
After I tried the "trick", it is not recognized in USB Drive mode, light is green when plugged to computer or charger and when I try a hard reset by pressing the start button for a long time it flashes and I see the kindle screen with the tree and after it freezes on screensaver.
Thank you in advance for any advice... If nothing works I will probably buy a new Paperwhite but the problems I had with my device don't make me trust this Kindle system so much.... Is it happening often, to your knowledge ? Are such firmware/software problems preventable ?
I found that the Amazon tech team isn't really giving tools to fix things when they go wrong, and I don't like the fact that a pricey device is considered junk so fast when it is not starting. Thanks !  |
Ah, what do you consider a "Freeze" ?
No changes noticed in 2 seconds, 2 minutes, 2 hours, or 2 days?
Try the 2 day version - there are some internal things that can take
**DAYS** - keep it on a wall charger the entire time.
I.E: Re-building the formatting of a partition with a flash memory in very poor condition.
Also -
How many books?
When did you last put a book on the device?
This could just be the indexer getting lost on a bad book.
