But now I have to send my Kindle3 back because of manufacturer flaws and want to remove the hack before I send it in. 

I wouldn't worry about it.  The manufacturing flaws are unrelated to the hack.  I also have trouble believing that Amazon has a team of techs scouring returns for hacks - it just isn't worth their time.

Have you tried a "reset to factory defaults?"

I agree. . . . .

And I don't think 'reset to factory' removes Hacks. . . . .

That said, I don't have any on my Kindle so I can't say for sure. Undecided

I don't know either, but don't want to try it just to find out.  Grin

Ann, 'reset to factory defaults' does remove hacks.  I sold my K2 and I did a reset before I mailed it off, my screensaver hack and my font hack were both gone after I did that.

Help, help, help - please!

I used the ScreenSaver Hack and it works wonderfully. But now I have to send my Kindle3 back because of manufacturer flaws and want to remove the hack before I send it in.  I can't get the un-install to work. Can anyone help me figure this out.  I have only done the one for ScreenSavers not the fonts etc.

I updated the firmware on my Kindle to the latest - 3.0.3 before using the hack. I have tried several times to get it to "update" with the un-install and it will not give me the option.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

Easy peasy.  Go into your settings page and select 'restore to factory settings'.  It wipes EVERYTHING!
