Thanks for the thought, but this unit is over two years old, and I've already opened it up etc. Before I invest to ship and repair it, I'll probably just buy a new one. (But which one... Opus? Kobo etc)

I see lots of folks have hacked into their Gen3, but nothing related to this not being able to boot problem. I found information on the internal JTAG and serial ports connectors. It would seem to me that this would be useful information so that Gen3s could be "unbricked" if some new firmware upload (i.e. OpenInkpot) failed. Perhaps someone will hook up a JTAG interface and read back the bootloader code.
