Oasis frozen
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? Sent from my 2306EPN60G using Tapatalk |

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.
