On my PW4, the shutdown is the same, but the power button does not make the Kindle boot. The light momentarily goes green, and then nothing happens!

I tried multiple times, short press, long press - no result. The only way to boot is a very long press that causes a reboot.

Can anyone confirm how HALT and boot work on PW4? Can you describe what happens and how long does take after the power button press, please?

@ilovejedd, you seem to have a few devices in various stages of use and rest?

Thanks!
I see you have participated in the thread

Have you tried the script there without the screen wiping calls and maybe a different shutdown mode?

It sucks than amazon keeps finding new ways to be annoying.
