copied Update_python_0.14.N_install_touch_pw.bin to root
main settings update etc on kindle
screen immediately goes black.
i leave it for several minutes.
main power on switch does quick green light, then nothing.
have to resorts to holding power switch down to reset device.

any help appreciated.
What do you mean by: "to root" ?

Do you mean to the highest level of **visible** USB mass storage?
Or do you mean to the actual root (/) of the internal file system?
If #2, remove it, now.

Then -
Remove any packages with the update_*.bin filename pattern from the highest level of USB mass storage.

For all packages, your first choice source is:

Next -
Install KUAL
Install MrPi
Then use MrPI to install any additional update_*.bin packages.
Note: Unlike the old UYK method, MrPI can install multiple update_*.bin files at a time.
