Amazon Kindle Touch: MobiNAND test fails.

Lamento · 01-03-2017, 02:46 AM

Hello. Once my Kindle booted in diagnostics mode. It performed "movinand" test and then reported that it failed. What does that mean?

I tried to restore it using Kubrick Live CD. Starting steps are successful, but on "turn on USBnet" nothing happens, though I carefully follow the instruction pressing all mentioned items on the e-book. So it's impossible to proceed.

Any suggestions?

That means it is electronic waste.
Or maybe a used screen - that might have a small value on the used parts market because K4's have a tendency to break their screens.

Keep in mind -
The K4 is the Kindle that is glued together - it takes careful work to take it apart.

Note:
There is no thing here nicknamed a "Kindle 4 Touch" -
it is either a K4 or a Kindle Touch (KT).
Use the first four characters of the device's serial number (shown on that device's page of your Amazon account) and this table:

to get the correct nickname for your device.

Although for this problem, the actual device model does not matter, it is just "spare parts" now.

Got it. Thanks for your reply, knc1!

P. S. Actually it was Kindle Touch. RIP.
