My joy didn't last long though because the e-reader seems to be broken. It is permanently frozen on a black "powered off" screen. Switching on, basic reset, nothing helps (and yes, I did plugged it to a power source first for several hours, it doesn't show the charging icon either).

Any advice? Is there a way to make it work?
Would a pin prick re-start help?

You'll find the very small pin prick hole at the bottom of the device near to the usb area.

I use a paper clip to insert gently into it - and only push until I can feel the depression.
