I successfully jailbreaked the kindle 3 3G UK version, and installed the patch where you can change the screensaver. No problem.....then I thought I was on a role, and I tried update_fonts_5.1.N_k3gb_install ....and now it says Your Kindle Needs Repair, and does not connect to computer.

Cannot reset by holding the power button, it seems to install the update, and then it says Kindle is about to start, and then goes to Your Kindle Needs Repair. It gives a telephone number and I bought the Kindle 3 last June 2011, so Warranty may be too late? I was thinking if I good open the Kindle and found the memory and some how to to uninstall update_fonts_5.1.N_k3gb_install!

help
