Dare opening the device, use the info here: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=97267 but try to use some plastic tools in order not to scratch it. I have found out that all the small dark gray screws are not fastened as they should. One was already traveling, while most of the others were almost loose, waiting to join the first one in creating funny sparks and freezing, or even permanently damaging, the reader. After fastening all the crews, there is no rattle anymore and no freezing. There's no warranty voiding label one might damage in the process, so, if you mess up, go get a replacement.
