Hi, this is very strange, here's the situation: I was reading a book using koreader in a kt4 like I've been doing for a couple of years now, then all of the sudden the brightness of the screen goes to maximum I press the power the button for no good reason and the screen goes off like it normally does but when I hit it back It does not turn on, after a couple of tries I decide to press the power button for 40 seconds and reset the kindle, after the reboot everything seems fine except that the PC doesn't detect it as a usb device anymore.

I know usb does not work while koreader is on, I'm trying to figure out what happened because I think maybe something got "stuck" in the configuration since koreader didn't exit cleanly and maybe that's what is keeping the pc from recognizing the kindle? I'm at a lost here, any ideas are welcome, and yes before you ask it's not the cable(s).
