Hi All,

My PW3 & 7thgen is 4 years old, I haven't used it for a year & had Battery Indication which I charged it for 20-30 mins & used for a day.

1. While side loading it got hung - Tried force boot but orange light blinks 4-5 times & then nothing. It shows as orange while charging , kept it for two days on charge still noting. I suspect battery

2. Also when side loading I deleted few books from document folder - what are the chances I deleted some system file & Kindle Bricked.

----

Now for battery I have teardown the kindle & removed the battery & performed the surgery to retain the battery controller - I m still to get the battery & put it behind the controller - Similar to what is shown below --

-------

Now can any one tell me what are the obvious causes ??

Any assistance would be appreciated. Please help a new member ...
