i have got a pocketbook inkpad 840.

it's almost a year old now, and always used it with a lot of pleasure

last week i have last used it, and it was almost fully charged when i put it away.

Now, it won't turn on!!!

It only shows the book cover (as selected in the settings), but does not respond to anything!

thins i tried:

Charging it for a couple of hours, then try to turn it on
Holding the on/off switch for 10 seconds minimum, to try to get to reset mode: does not do that!
as asked by pocketbook support: hook it up to charger, and hold on/off switch for at least 1 minute, then it should power up: held it for more than 5 minutes, no go!!!

it also won't respond to the < or > button, and the slider for the LED light won't respond either (tried that to see if i could deplete the battery completely to give it a full shutdown/reset).

any tips here?
