I held down the power button on the Kindle and continued to hold it down until (a) I saw four flashes on the Kindle LED, (b) heard the Windows PC make sounds of disconnection, (c) heard the Windows PC make sounds of reconnection -- all before releasing the power button. I still never saw any signs in the Putty terminal window.

I still see the same connection messages in USBview.exe.

I'm stumped.
