[Araucaria]

I wonder if anyone can help. My Kindle Voyage has recently stopped finding any source of WiFi. I have tried the various remedies suggested here and elsewhere, and I am reluctantly accepting that it might be the antenna.

Before I follow the useful YouTube guide for opening it up, I wonder if anyone can say whether a second issue with it might have some bearing.

When I "restart" the Voyage, after the couple of minutes of Kindle loading screens, what I end up with is a blank white screen which does not respond to any touch commands. I have found that I can get back the proper touch-sensitive screen (and find my books) by connecting it to Calibre, telling Calibre to "Manage my Device", restarting Calibre and then ejecting the Voyage.

There might be a simpler way but I haven't found it.

I'd be very grateful for comments from anyone who has successfully solved an antenna issue, and equally for anyone who can cast light on the "restart" issue.
