As there is absolutely no sign of any physical damage to the unit that I can see, and it was not mistreated in any way (it was mine and nobody in the family touched it, so I should know), my guess was driver, which I called incorrectly controller. Drivers are software, and they can be fixed, as far as I know. If it's different in Cybook's case, why not tell me, and give sensible explanation? I am not computer genius, but not an idiot, either, I might be able to understand, or ask somebody to translate the explanation into layman's terms.
It's HIGHLY improbable that the cause would be a corrupted device driver, but you could rule that out yourself by using the "796fmt" firmware reflash. This completely rewrites and replaces the machine's firmware, rather than doing an update.
