K3 did not switch off

Help!

My Kindle did not switch off last night - it was still on the last page I had open from last night. The only thing I did different yesterday was deleting the files on my System/Search Index after reading about it on this forum.

I tried holding down the power switch for 20 secs and that didn't work either.

So I hooked it up to my laptop to recharge and that seems to work - this time, it automatically hibernated when I didn't touch it.

However, when switching it on again - the green light flicked on and than went off - however, it let me do everything else eg turn pages, etc.

1) I can't remember but doesn't the green light stay on the whole time when you are reading?

2) Also I will be travelling next month and won't have my laptop with me and therefore won't be able to recharge it. So if it happens again (ie K3 does not switch off), do you know what I should do?

K3 is only 5 months old and I'm hoping that I don't have to replace it.

Thank you.
Bernadette
