Hi
Was using my pocket edge (rooted with Froyo) and went to transfer some books to it using a USB drive (used it with the device for over six months) as soon as I plugged the usb drive into the edge the screen went black but the eink side stayed on. I removed the usb drive and tried to reboot using the slide on/off switch but all that did was blank out the eink side to white. Tried to reset and that had no effect. The slide on/off switch turns the green light on and off but that is all. Did the usb drive 'short' something out? Any suggestions? Right now I am leaving the green light on in hopes the battery goes dead - might 'reset' it - but that seems unlikely to work. Is there any suggestion or has anyone experienced this and fixed it. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
