K3 Wifi

Hello,

Now I'm ready to write here my experience on Kindle 3 Keyboard WiFi deBRICKment...

I had two K3 devices, one of them I had sold three years ago to my friend (but now the problem is in that one). Both of them are patched with "Kite".

One of K3 is frozen on startup screen, none of buttons are working. The yellow LED light swiches on only for 15 seconds while connecting to USB adaptor.

I tried to debrick it with Kubrik, but Kubrik can't see the device while in "Waiting for device" mode. Of course I tried to charge ot for 20 hours from wall.

And the main discovery is this:

I took out the batteries and changed them in my Kindles - the beattery I "Charged" 20hours was EMPTY!

But when I put the charged (working) battery in "bricked" Kindle - nothing happened. Moreover, the charge doesn't work also, 15sec the LED shines then it turnes off.

I will leave it on working battery for a while, then I'll remove it and will control the charge left on working kindle.
Then, if the charge level is good, I'll try to work with Kubrik again.

Could you tell me please If I do it wrong,
