Hi,

I broke it go I get to keep both parts! Fail of the day. Never code whilst tired.

On a PW1, as part of an unusual software I am developing. I was automating adding keys to /mnt/us/usbnet/etc/authorized_keys

Code:

                cat /tmp/sshid >> /mnt/us/usbnet/etc/authorized_keys
                sleep 2
                reboot

In error I ended up with a blank line in /mnt/us/usbnet/etc/authorized_keys

Example not exact keys..

Code:

ssh-rsa AAAAB3Nza....
ssh-rsa AAAAB3N..

ssh-rsa ABAA...

The kindle was in a reboot cycle. So being careless. Issh in using the newly added key ABAA.... I then did
Code:

vi /mnt/us/usbnet/etc/authorized_keys
Removed the blank line. Kindle reboots. The goes to dreaded "your kindle neeeds repair".

The kindle will not connect as USB storage. Boots quiet quickly to the "your kindle neeeds repair". Any suggestions (please not the soldering iron!).

Time to find another 2nd hand paperwhite ?
Is 3G an issue ?

Regards,
Brendan
