Thanks once again for your help. My Kindle 4 is back to life!!!

Running Kubrick in a VM (I couldn't find another way), it got me to change the frozen screen to the initial one with the tree and the loading bar. That was just after doing the key combination to put the Kindle in USB Download mode, although it never seemed to complete that step and couldn't progress any further.

I left it like that for a few days as I went away. When I came back last night, I charged the Kindle. This morning I simply switched it on once charged... and everything fine.

I had fully charged it just before using Kubrick, but I guess switching it on and off a few times and trying Kubrick for 2 days drove it a bit crazy.

Thanks for your help. And no, Amazon, I don't want a discount for a new Kindle.
