Oasis frozen

[piperclassique]

So my oasis was saying the battery was nearly flat and I put it on charge. Orange light, great, off to bed. This morning is saying battery flat and won't start. I've tried very long press on power button which gives me green light and that's all.
Any ideas?

Huh! I thought I'd just connect it to my computer and see how dead it was, When I did just that it rebooted and started charging. Bangs head against wall. It's connected to Wi-Fi and 3g and showing recent acquisitions which it is obediently downloading. I don't understand....

Did you use the same cable that you'd used to charge over night? It's possible that the first cable is bad or flakey.

Plugging a seemingly dead Kindle into a computer is what we used to suggest back in the day on the old Amazon Kindle forum. It was the last gasp thing to try.

Different cable, but the other one worked on a torch that I charged later.

How do you charge a torch? Fires don't have batteries.

Jon, for someone who seems to feel knowledgeable about language to make the comments you have made on multiple occasions, you seem to have missed on many of the differences in word usage. For instance, a torch in the UK refers to what you would likely term a flashlight and a flame on a stick. Do you consider calling the lid over your car engine and a head covering a hood to be sensible?

Given the poster shows France as their location, looking up lampe de poche (what I learned in school French) in a French/English dictionary says torch, flashlight with pointers to torche électrique, lampe électrique and lampe-éclair as alternatives.

All my torches use batteries, and one is rechargeable, and my fire uses wood.

Electric torches and electric lamps have been a thing for over 130 years, so the word electric was dropped. Also omnibuses are buses. Electric trams are trams. Trams used to use horses. Though I read some rich people in the USA are replacing front door electric lights with gaslights.

When I was growing up, my parents had a brass torch in the entry hallway. It did not use any batteries. My mom put an owl candle in it I made and painted in school.

I do now have a large handheld flashlight that is USB rechargeable. Other then being nice and bright, the good thing is that it has a % display so I can see how much battery is left. I got tired of having a flashlight just die without any warning.

I was thinking of my Fire tablet.
