Any idea what's wrong?
1. did you put the unzipped (i.e, extracted) jb file (not folder) in the root of your Kindle? (i.e., same level as \documents)
2. did you type ";fc-cache" (without quotes) exactly in the SEARCH bar with the magnifying glass (not in the internet browser search bar)
3. did you try again? did you try again after a reboot?
4. what version and language PW do you have? there's a possibility it's not compatible with the jb.
