My Libre goes into "continuous flashing" mode occasionally. This has occurred with all firmware versions that I've used including the latest, v0.18g patch v18.

Almost always, exiting all the way back to the main menu and then opening the book again, waiting on each menu page to make sure it's not flashing continuously, will solve the problem.

If this doesn't work, one of the following procedures to make the flashing stop, has always worked for me:

- Go back to the main menu, open a different book, then go back to the main menu and open the problem book, as above. Opening a book of a different type, e.g. a PDF when trying to fix an ePub, may increase the chances of this working.

- Go to the main menu and reset the device, using the reset button on the back. This will reset your user settings to factory defaults but that's how I leave my unit, so it's not very inconvenient for me.

- Reset the unit as above and then use one of the exit/re-open techniques above.

Note again that this is for a Libre. It may not apply to the Jetbooks.
