Screen stuck at loading

I bought my reader last May and fell in love with it. Lately, since I was busy I didn't use it that much. Few days ago when noticing that the battery has drained, I hooked it and re-charge it via USB. I left it overnight (not intentionally as I fell asleep ) When I unhooked it the next morning, I get the usual USB connected but this time it was stuck at that particular screen. More than 10 minutes later, it was still stuck at that screen. I then slide off the power hoping to turn it off, but nothing happened. And kept trying for the next few minutes with no success. It flashed the loading screen for a fraction then it went dead. Tried the whole day and night turning it up again (even hooking it up to PC) but all I got was few yellow flashes and the screen remain empty.

So I decided to do a soft-reset. Then I turn it on again. This time I get the starting up screen and after few seconds it took me to the loading screen. It showed the loading icon and the background info were all showing 0 data. No books at all. Not even in my SD. It remained in the loading screen and after a while, it went off. Tried turning it on again, it starts off then gets to loading screen and stayed there. With every attempt, I noticed the deterioration of the displayed screen (e.g. vertical lines/stripes) and stuck at loading. Can anybody please help me make sense just what happen to my reader? Can it be saved?

Thank you so much in advance
