Before I launch the damned thing out the window
I've got a Kindle Fire (5th generation) and have had no problems with the wifi connection, I'm a Sky user, Sky router but not IT savvy. I have my daughter visiting at the moment who has special needs, let her use it to play the games, and now I can't connect to the internet at all. The list of networks available comes up, my Sky one comes up showing signal strength as no bars. I press my particular Sky router details, it then says signal strength excellent and prompts me to enter the password, which I do (this hasn't been changed - then press connect. It then says "authenticating" then "saved" but then continues to alternate between the two and I can get no further.
The wee inverted triangle at the right hand side on the top of the Kindle (next to battery life) is just empty, no bars at all. I've tried switching off and rebooting, looking at all the info I can find online but don't seem to be getting anywhere. I saw the factory reset thingy, but I don't want to lose my photos etc, and can't transfer them because I don't have a wifi connection!
Any ideas? Ta
