I always keep my Kindles with the latest firmware. Right now I can't check which firmware the Oasis has, but if it is not the latest, certainly is the previous one.
Regarding Calibre, I guess we should take into account not only the Calibre's version, but the KFX Output plugin's version too. |

seems to have bricked it also with KFX
I've been reliably using my kindle PW2 ( FW 5.10.3 ) to read and play games (active content) before bed and on trips, I tried to use the new KFX format and added a few files to the PW2 with Calibre. I thought if it didn't work it would just be rejected and not respond.
initially, it seemed to work. i set it aside until i could get back to it. As i did I noticed the screensaver looked a bit funky. Later that day i tried to activate the device and nothing happened. i tried to plug it in to the power. after leaving it plugged in in fro a while i came back to it. I discovered it sometimes would activate the backlight in cyclical fashion. off and on and off and on etc,. i would like to get back to working order. Any advice? |

Try a 'hard' reset: hold the power button until restart dialog appears. However, I've had Kindles get stuck, and the dialog itself was garbled. Nevertheless, I was able to see it appear, and tapping the location where the Restart button would be allowed Restart to proceed and get it unstuck.
I doubt it has much to do with side loading KFX. 'Correlation is not causation.' |

May be battery cell or Flash has died as it's old.
