I have a similar problem. Mine will "usually" stay on the splash screen as long as I hold the enter key down & I have tried for a full "timed" minute. I have even tried to reformat the SD card and reload the update with no luck. Even though it showed 100% charged, I did charge it over night but had no change. And yes, it is in the root of the SD card with nothing else on it. Interestingly enough, after such a try, the card shows the normal added folders, i.e. ebook, music, etc., that are automatically written on a newly inserted SD card.

I successfully installed the 685 update when it came out. Like loopy's, mine will sometimes just go on through the normal startup process & throw me into the first book.

My next step is to try a different SD card, since it may be that the card is not being recognized. If a different card doesn't solve this, I don't know what else to try. The enter button is definitely working. I'll post the results of using a different card tonight.
