Uh oh, did I just break my KF?
Right, so I recently flashed JB on my KF, and everything was going fine, nothing to complain about. Until now. I left my KF to charge and when I went back, I can't turn it on! No matter how many times I push the power button, nothing happens.

What are you charging with? I have power issues with my phone aswell, it's an Android thing... If you're using USB, try switching to a wall plug, if not try it the other way.

I still say leave it for awhile. It may have discharged all the way for whatever reason. That and keep pressing the power button.

Yeah, both my phone and Kindle have that issue where sometimes they won't power on for whatever reason. It doesn't help that the charger driver is all messed up in the Kindle whether you're on stock or a custom ROM. Hopefully that is fixed in the next updates/models. But it's definitely a general Android problem that Google needs to work on because just because your battery is low/can't read the stats, doesn't mean it should put the device in that half dead state. |
