Tell me please, there is Kindle 5 (grey), firmware 4.0.1 (no jails, etc.)
Everything was fine, but one day the book started freeze.

How it is manifested: the translation of the impression, the book does not respond at all to pressing. When you press the power button, it lights up and almost immediately goes out, nothing happens on the screen.

What I tried:
1) press Power for 30 seconds - in the end I get a reboot, it passes, then I see 2 standard books, still not responding to the keys, then in a couple of minutes - my books appear.
2) press Power 30sec + Home button before the loader appearance - everything is the same as in paragraph 1. What is surprising, since It seems like it should delete all the books!
3) When the book is active, connecting it to a PC, it sees it as an inaccessible flash drive. If you repeat step 1 or 2 and connect the wire at boot time, it will be detected as a flash drive and the screen will show charging.
So I was able to fill in the firmware file 4.1.0 on the book.

Next, I found that the screen responds to the keys, sometimes you need to wait 1-2 minutes, sometimes (a couple of actions) can be made like the norms of the book.

Having discovered this, I tried to do 2 things:
4) Update Your Kindle - the update starts, but almost immediately shows that it failed, reboots and everything is the same as it was.
5) Through the menu item to make a Full Reset (with the removal of everything), did - but everything remains the same as in paragraph 1!

And in fact, if you look at the book as a flash drive, inside there are folders with a bunch of books, nothing was deleted.

What else did I try:
6) Delete books one by one (waiting between clicks for 1-4 minutes). I deleted 1 book, then the second, then everything hung - I reboot - and get all deleted books in place!

By the way, often, the only living element of the book on the screen is the loader in the upper left corner. It's spinning)

7) I tried to check for a flash drive error - I did not find any errors in Windows. Errors of errors + to correct the broken sectors - here the check seems to hang at the very end.

Tried through a USB flash drive + Kubrick 3.6.
I reach the step where the book should be re-loaded and enter the diagnostic mode. But, after the reboot, the diagnostic mode is not displayed on the screen, but charging of the device and the inscription that charging does not occur are shown!

I loaded the book for 24 hours, the battery was not charged, and tried to repeat the procedure, the result is similar.

What do I do wrong?
What can be with the book?
How can I check the memory of the book?

Thank you!
