OK, most of a cup of warm tea spilled
on my Kindle 2.
At first it looked like it was working fine. Now it's acting like it's possessed
, screen refreshing, paging forward, letters randomly coming up in the search. Some of the buttons not working.
Now it just happened today. I'm hoping that if I leave it for a few days maybe it will dry out and work correctly again. I did buy the extended warranty from Amazon which also has "Two years of coverage (limited to a single claim) for accidental drops or damage". I figure spills should be covered under the "single claim for accidental damage". Expected a drop to be why I might end up using it.
But I really don't want to use it unless I have no choice, since it's only a single claim coverage. But have to decide how long to wait before I decide that my Kindle won't recover.
Any one have an idea how long I should wait to see if it will recover on it's own?
I hate being without my kindle although I can use my iphone to read my books. But it's not the same.
