Thanks everyone for your quick replies!

V1.6 taken from here

makes no difference.

The firmware gets installed (black screen at the end and the device turns off) but the reader again freezes at the end of the boot progress bar.

My M92 was ordered from Germany in early Feb 2012.

I did another experiment (inspired by a positive solution to a similar problem discussed at
http://www.the-ebook.org/forum/viewt...d1b43124e84be9
I left the device in this frozen state (with LED on) for as long as it took it to completely run out of batteries (rather quick though, about 10 hours). Then fully charged it for about 4 hours. Then did everything from simple start, to reset, to firmware update (with external power supply).

I tried different SD card, but to be honest, I think the likelihood of getting a defective reader should be much higher than getting a bad SD card these days (Transcend and SanDisk cards have become pretty much commodities...).

Formatting the cards differently – FAT, FAT32 (the reader does not recognize NTFS-formatted card) did not help either.

Any ideas? I think I am getting ready to see what’s inside…

By the way, how come v1.6 firmware is 190Mb and v1.7 is only ~100Mb?
