Yep. A friend got her *replacement* Cybook from Bookeen after she attempted to install Build 708 on her 64MB Cybook. It locked up after the initial splash screen and during the three-dot splash screen and nothing she tried would fix the problem. So Bookeen "upgraded" her to a 512MB Cybook.

Of course, even though this occurred just last week, the new Cybook came with Build 681. So she thought to install Build 708. Shouldn't be a problem, yes? This is the *new* model and should take to Build 708 without problem, yes?

No.

It's now in *my* possession and I'm staring at a device which freezes at the *initial*, big-Cybook-image splash screen. LED stays glowing, but no move to the Library. I've, since receiving it this morning, tried to complete the upgrade process using both Build 708 and Build 708 Fmt. (6MB and 16MB versions, respectively) No go! Freezes at the same point.

Any suggestions? No, it doesn't even boot far enough to be recognized by the PC when connected via the USB cable. It will *charge*, but the "Connected" screen won't come up if the power is ON.
