Hey guys... just got a notification email on the threads revival

First of all I'd like to say that the biggest mistake one can make on this forum is to tell *knc1* to calm himself down.

Since this thread has only 2 pages and most of the debugging stuff is discussed on the first page, one can clearly see, that without knc1's help I wouldn't have gotten very far.

I basically provided him with as much information as he needed to help me. At the end I wrote a summary that worked for me, hoping that it's going to help everyone else having the same problem.

Secondly, and back to the problem. Unfortunately, I'm not that experienced to provide help here. But from a beginners point of view, I can provide two very important suggestions here:

1. Focus: Read instructions carefully word by word. If something in an instruction is not clear - feel free to ask
2. Repeat: Don't assume, if you follow instructions, that it's gonna work for the first time. Even if you're sure, that you followed them correctly. There's always a chance that you missed something. Try again, and again... and every time with more and more focus on the instructions
3. Trial & Error: feel free to try out some logical steps, even if they're not provided in the instructions. Re-plug the device, Re-start it in between of steps ... etc.

If you're 100% sure that you did exactly what was provided and it doesn't work as expected, feel free to ask. Tell the community exactly where your problem is. I know it's hard, because the one who asks often assumes that the others who help know what one is talking about. But it's never like that.

PS: I ended up throwing the broken kindle into my spare-parts storage and bought a new one. But I still had fun fiddling around :P

Cheers,
Adis
