Hi, everybody,

Recently, for an error of mine I formated my Cybook Gen3 and it lost its firmware.

Now, when I try to boot it again, just a squared pattern screen appears. I asked Bookeen how to fix it and they said just that: "Format it and install the firmware", which I did lots of times with their last firmware (1.6 w/ Mobipocket DRM, as 2.1 w/ Adobe DRM always crashed even when the device was working good). It does start the installation and goes on, but by the end the squared pattern screen comes back and it crashes there, so I have to push the reset button.

The only thing that still works well is it shows up via USB interface at Windows Explorer.

Wrote again to Bookeen and no response (As I've seen here, that's commonplace). Anybody have a solution?
