However, all of the threads you're quoting are about boot problems/hang ups, not "can't turn it on at all" issue like reported by KiwiJen.
My argument is that these in some cases are one and the same. That the reader is in fact OFF whether it is showing a screen or not is not relevant if it crashes due to the way the screen works.

Kiwijen - Same result as me. RESET while using wall charger does not work but while USB charging does - this brings back the red light. So if red light does not work then charge 3 hours on the wall charger then disconnect that and charge on USB and reset, problem solved.

Point - my reader was fixed the same way as kiwijen with the shut down screen showing in my case but not kiwijen's- same problem same fix regardless of what the screen shows.

From the links I put it it seems to be very common IMHO.

At the very least this is another important thing to know before trying something more drastic. I hope this knowledge helps others.
