I've also tried pressing the reset button and holding down the power butting, with no effect.
When I plug the book into the computer the red power light comes on and I hear a sound on the computer, but the ereader screen doesn't change and the computer doesn't recognize the ereader.
Any ideas? |
Doing a
hard reset might work. I've put the instructions below - they got my T3 working two or three years ago. But you'll lose all the ebooks on the reader, except perhaps the freebies that came with it.
