new Cybook doesnt boot at all
Hi
I just started for the first time my new Cybook gen 3 after having plugged it to my puter through usb port during 3 hours. The Cybook is frozen on the first pic and nothing happen. no key is responding. I have used the reboot button on the back of the Cybook and after having pressed the on/off button still frozen. I have read somewhere i have to plug it again to usb port to get more power. I cannot accesss to the memory of Cybook (i haven't yet SD card) any advice? |

Try to charge it with an external usb charger (not by pluging it into your computer).
If that does not help, you will have to send it back to bookeen. |

Please make sure you charge your cybook for several hours until you try it out again - preferably with an external charger not using the usb-connector of your pc.

Leave it connected to the charger until the light goes out.

I don't have external charger.
I have charged it with usb port until the light disappear. It's hard to make it work. Sometime it works but at the second test still frozing the indicator say 100% charged when i got the library menu. I suppose the library menu is supposed to appear by itself no need to press any key? It's rather weird. If i turn off the Cybook and i turn in, it won't boot correctly. After a reset, it works again. |

Check the file system - it may be corrupted.
