No, none of those. My brickage is due to trying to update the firmware--details in the (I'll try to copy the link)(OK, I failed miserably to copy the link) Anyway, details are in the new firmware is finally available thread.
I will say that when I first got the cybook I experimented with taking the card out and putting it in while the unit was on, and it worked sometimes; sometimes it wouldn't recognize the card. I never deliberately put any ebooks on the card, because performance was erratic. I think I was corrupting the files by removing the card from my computer without SRHing on some occasions, and I left the FAT the way it came(from Bookeen), and possibly some of the books in the card(if the card was in the cybook mobipocket would sometimes automatically put books on it) had large cover art; my problems with the card may be a combination of the three. Now that I know what SRH does, that may explain my brickage--the kernel may have been slightly corrupted when I took the card out. I can't remember if I Safely Removed Hardware or not--but since I didn't know how important it was probably not.
