So, my Jetbook Lite would be 2 years this December, love it, I spend more time with it in bed than with my husband and I never had a problem until last night when it froze on a page. It won't turn off, light remains solid green, so I tried to reset the device. When I turned it back on, it froze on the first screen, where the Jetbook Lite logo is on. I waited forever for it to turn to the vintage book graphic that usually comes next. Nothing. I then thought to upgrade the firmware but unfortunately, my computer doesn't recognize the device anymore- tried it on 2 different computers, same result. I tried resetting to factory setting, exactly as Ken described on another thread, but after about 20+ attempts and not getting past the logo, I gave up. Maybe I'd try again some other time.

Do I have other options to fix this thing or is this doomed to be an ugly paper weight?

I am waiting for Ectaco to reply back with options and would appreciate your suggestions, too. Thank you!
