Hello! I'm fairly new to this forum, though I've been lurking for a few months.
I've recently bought a Kindle Keyboard (D00901) to replace a broken Kindle 2, and it's been having a bit of trouble recently. Whenever I turn on the screensaver, the Kindle has a chance of, apparently, never turning on again.
I've tried holding the power button for 20, 30, 40 seconds, ALT-SHIFT-R, taking the battery out and putting it back in after a few minutes, and even the reset terminals inside the device. I think it might have something to do with the fact that I removed Special Offers (sorry if this isn't allowed on this forum). The orange charge light turns on, so I guess it's getting some form of power. No other lights turn on.
I have a few things installed:
The jailbreak (obviously)
The screensaver hack
USBNetwork (not enabled, as far as I can tell)
KUAL
I believe the firmware is on the latest version, but I can't be sure. I'm starting to think my only option is a serial connection, but I've learned that I'm not particularly great at soldering the hard way. Any help would be appreciated; thank you!

Also, if this is in the wrong forum, I apologize. I've never made a thread here before.
As long as Amazon removed the Special Offers and you rebooted you should be fine.

Now if you attempted to do that yourself then the screensaver hack will not work.
