Simple switch might be easy to fix. In sleep and power setting can select automatically go to sleep and power off after your set time including never. I have mine to never power off. But somtimes you will need working power swithch. Never tuning off or sleep does affect battery life much.

I have disassembled it and I can directly touch power switch/indicator, so that's not an issue at this point... the issue is that it's again stuck! Well, I don't know why, but after last time when it went to sleep, and I had to pull out the battery, it doesn't turn on at all, even using the trick @oren64 taught me!!! Arrrrghhh. ![]() It was a short-lived happiness! ![]() Last edited by thatworkshop; 10-19-2015 at 09:47 AM. |

Most likely you fried your motherboard, but try connecting the wires to another places in the board.

Oh, frying is that simple? For a quarter of second, when one wire was still in one those 4 holes, the other wire barely touched the board stuff! ![]() ![]() How can one measure if a motherboard is fried? With a multimeter... |

The "stuff" is capacitors, resistors, transistors..., that works in low volt and current.
so when the wire touch them it close electric circuit with 5V and 500mA so they failed/"burnt". my best advise buy a new ereader. Edit: Quote:
The four pin in the board are the same as in USB port so if you connect them to a power source the board need to work. did you try wire the other places? Last edited by oren64; 10-19-2015 at 05:37 PM. |

The thing to do is contact the seller and say that it's not the battery that's bad and you want your money back.
