Hi all,

I nostalgically purchased a 1st gen kindle a few weeks ago off of eBay. It connected up with the book store, allowed me to download content and otherwise worked fine, post-2016 required update. In the last few days, while it shows a 3G connection with sufficient bars, it won't connect to the store or my archive. Any thoughts? I know it's ancient, but I was hoping to get a bit more use out of it.
