360 Plus Bricked my reader

flib · 11-28-2011, 10:42 AM

I wanted to downgrade the firmware on my PB360+ to an older version so it would be a bit more stable, but I made the mistake of using the firmware for the original PB360, so now it's bricked.
The screen is blank, and when I try to turn it on, the screen is blank and the indicator light is green. It stays like this indefinitely until I use the internal reset button, which makes the screen flash black. I can then hold down the power button to turn it off.
Holding the buttons to update the firmware doesn't do anything different.
Is there anything I can do to fix this?

I would suggest you to write a PM to Forkosigan (https://www.mobileread.com/forums/member.php?u=37926) and tell him your problem. If anyone can help you then he.
