I bought a Paperwhite 2013 but it doesn't start.
No mater how long I press the power button it won't turn on.
While charging the idicator light is orange and after pressing the power button for about 10seconds it flashes 4 times.
But other than that there is no reaction at all.
Even when I press the power button for 40 seconds as suggested.
The screen shows the tree image and in the background the "need to charge battery" sign.
I charged the Kindle for a few hours over USB now but still nothing.
The battery itself seems to be ok. I charged it directly with my power supply to test the battery.

Is there a known solution or can I try something to get the Kindle to work?
