Hello there!
It's my first post here, but I've been a "lurker" for a very long time... ;-)
Anyway, I think I read every single post in the "troubleshooting" section and even tho part of my problem it's been discussed already (
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=46629), my actual problem is a bit different and I haven't found a solution yet.
Basically, after installing the new firmware I got the "checkered screen of death", but being a reader of this forum, I knew what to do: I formatted my cybook and then copy/pasted the system folder I had previously saved (just the system folder, not the others).
After that, everything seemed to work perfectly, I was able to use the folder view (yay, finally!) and everything seemed to work fine. [Important note: I have 99% of my books on the SD card and just a bunch of books on the internal memory so I didn't notice anything wrong right away].
BUT, after re-opening the cybook the day after, none of the settings I fixed (folder view, font size, etc) were still present, I re-sat the whole thing, then switched off the cybook and after re-opening... same problem, no settings saved.
So, I plugged the cybook on my PC to check the system folder and I saw that the other folders (Fonts, Music, eBooks, etc) weren't there, when I tried to copy/paste them into the cybook it wouldn't let me, it said something like "impossible to create or copy folder, disk is protected from writing" (I'm roughly translating from Italian).
When I tried to re-format the disk again, it said I couldn't do it because it's protected.
Any idea how I could fix it?
Other things I did:
- Re-installed the new firmware several times
- run the chkdsk on the cybook, everything looks fine
- Tried to run the cybook without the SD card (everything looks fine, except the cybook results empty, obviously)
- Checked out the bookmark feature (it works fine, it's just the general settings that don't stick!)
My cybook is 200 MHz
Version 6.0 (build 70)
