Is the Kindle actually being detected?


Kindle was on the charger for 2 days now... should be full (after some time, the light went off.... and came on again after replugging)


Currently I don't need to press the on button and then the magic key anymore... kubrick recognizes the kindle as soon as I plug it in.
strange.....

If the kindle is switched off and no cable connected, I cant make it boot in any way... so pressing a button doesn't help. display and light stay both off.
(with display off I mean: it still says: please be patient while your kindle is starting" )

dmesg displays a lot of things. What should I look for?
but it for sure will be recognized, otherwise kubrick would not say: "device ready", would it?

afterwards, on the fastoot page, it still says "waiting for device".....



edit:
dmesg: finds apart from many other things this:
NS Blank CODEX
Freescale SemiConductor Inc

is this the kindle?

This now shows also up in Windows. I managed to install the libusb-win32-bin-1.2.6.0
driver somehow.....

If I switch back and forth with power and magic button, in windows, I still get an unknown USB device
, that has VID_0000&PID_0000
This device has stopped, according to windows.....


could it be that there is some important data gone on the kindle?
