I am in the US and have both a K2 (3G is from Sprint) and a DXG (3G is from AT&T). 3G was working fine on the DXG a few weeks ago and it has been a long time since I connected (or did anything) with the K2.

I just tried with the K2 and the symptoms were as you described (turn on 3G and it immediately goes off). I turned on the DXG and same thing. Then I checked the K2 again and it was connected with 3 bars. I went back to the DXG and it was connected with 1 bar. Back to K2 and still 3 bars. DXG now 5 bars.

Meanwhile, the K2, still on charger, went to sleep. Turned it back on, it woke up not connected, then the 3G flashed on and immediately back off, then quickly connected at 4 bars.

So, I think your best bet is to leave it on charger for a few days.

Are you sure amazon still has a contract with whoever provides 3G for Kindles in Sweden and that carrier still has service in your area?
