[QUOTE="hairybadger, post: 916955, member: 389459"] My Paperwhite (bought January 2013) has just given up the ghost. It froze last night while I was trying to search for something in the store, I've forced a reboot and now it won't go further than the person-reading-book-under-tree screen, backlight off and no progress indicator. I've fully charged the battery, no dice. When I plug it into the computer the computer sees the Kindle as a drive but can't access it. So - it's out of guarantee and is bricked. Two years down the track and the price is *exactly* the same, I'm loathe to fork out 129EUR again. If I were a VS I'd probably crack it open and start replacing components, but I have neither the skills nor the time, nor am I sure what component is toast. If it's the motherboard I can imagine it'll cost as much as the whole unit :( [/QUOTE]
