Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
At least give the seven day free trial a shot--I can technically do these at work--I'm supposed to be doing them as part of my work week, but at least at the level I've been working so far they've been the right amount of effective while I poke at some other stuff at home, but less easy to do at the office.
Damned shame I'm falling in love with that the same week my Coursera art class starts...how much video can I learn from?
(Goddamn, Sublime Text--way to go to earn the name!)
My Kindle Keyboard has a borked screen - I'm not sure what happened, but all except the lower left quadrant (more or less) has the screensaver image frozen in place. I've powered it down and restarted, restarted by holding the power button for 20 seconds, and it's still frozen.
It was sitting in DH's backpack (not used) all weekend, so I can't imagine how it could have banged into something hard enough to do this. Amazon's help pages are...not. Anyone have this issue and resolved it?
I have seen that issue a couple of times - I managed a college class of 20 using Kindles - and found it unresolvable if the restarts didn't help. It doesn't need to have been banged to happen, in my experience - it seems like a software glitch. I was able to get replacements for examples of this happening by contacting Amazon. I'm not sure if there's a time limit on that - the problems we saw were under 6 months onto the life of the Kindles. Good luck.
That happened to mine, but after I sat on it. The screen was clearly borked, in my case.
Mine had a similar issue. I rebooted it several times. Turned on the wifi and did a software upgrade and another reboot and it was fine after that.
sj, how did you update the software without being able to see most of the screen?
I could see just enough of the screen to do that in my case.
So I went with the Galaxy S4. It is pretty slick.
It is! It's so shiny and pretty.
Oooh, I want one. Of course, I've been wanting one since the GS3 came out and that was the shiny new thing, and here I am a year later still holding on to my iPhone 4.
