Pocketbook 902 hangs

Hello,

I am the owner of two Pocketbook 902 Pro e-readers. One of the readers developed a problem and I'm asking for your help to regain control over it.
Both readers have 8Gb MicroSD cards, and work flawlessly. They both have been updated to version 2.0.3 of the firmware successfully.

The other day, I added new content to the MicroSD card. From that moment on, the reader "hung" when choosing "Library" on the main screen.
If I turn of the reader and start again, the reader hangs on the "Bookland's" page, and never boots completely.

The only way of regaining control of the reader was to remove the MicroSD card. That way the reader boots again.

This puzzled me, and I tried to find a way to resolve the situation. While looking at a reason for that problem, I (somewhat foolishly) copied the content of the MicroSD card to a subdirectory on the readers' local memory.
The result is that the reader now doesn't boot at all (it is stuck on the "Bookland's" page). It is also not visible anymore to the PC, i.e. connecting the reader via USB to the PC starts the reader, but does nothing else. This makes sense, because the reader was configured to ask what to do when connected.

My conclusion is that there is some file that I copied that makes the reader "hang". The solution is to identify the file and remove it. Since the reader doesn't boot anymore and isn't visible on the PC, I can't do that.

Is there someone who knows how to regain control of the reader anyway? I stress again that resetting doesn't help (the reader tries to boot, but then "hangs" on the "Bookland's" page.

Please advise.
