HELP Kindle stopped reponding...
My K3 Keyboard (B0006) stopped responding after connecting it to Calibre through USB.
I received it as a gift from my sister-in-law, who no longer used it. I de-registered it from her account, but could not register it under my account... She was unable to provide account verification information because she had moved MANY times since purchasing it from a store. So according to Amazon it is essentially blacklisted. After that fiasco, I manually loaded 19 books through USB from my computer. I then used the instructions by NiLuJe to jailbreak it and load python. It worked for several days after that. Wanting someway to track a library and control loading to the device, I downloaded and installed Calibre. I then pulled the books from the device to Calibre. Then it stopped working, "froze" It is in screensaver mode, and is unresponssive to the power button to activate it. Any ideas on what to do with it? Right now it is a paperweight. Holding the button to force a restart does nothing. , at it worked flawlessly for several days. I then connected to Calibre and pulled the books that I have previously , |

What does the amber/green light at the switch do when you try to charge?
I've seen the battery fail quite suddenly on two of these. The battery (really a cell) is easily replaced. The K3 won't start even on charger if the battery dies. The registration for a K3 is possible, but you need a code via SMS or email. There is a thread on it here somewhere. It might not be actually blacklisted. Also originally the K3 did not support PDF, a FW update adds it. Quote:
The most likely thing is that it needs a replacement battery. |
