I can't believe this! I've been waiting weeks for this thing to arrive and I had it working for approximately 20 minutes and it's now not responding!

I was able to read content off a USB thumb drive, but not the SD card I bought specifically to use with it.

Anyway, I connected it to my PC, which recognised it. Started copying some files across to it, which was going OK until the PC lost access to it and the drive letter disappeared.

Now, the damned Iliad is saying "Connected to PC..." and no matter what I do (power switch, reset button, both at the same time) I can't get it to come back to life.

I've tried unplugging it from the PC, plugging it back in, everything I can think of, but no success. The problem with this electronic paper is you can't tell whether anything you're trying is having any effect, because the screen doesn't go blank.

Has anyone seen this problem ... any ideas how to try to resuscitate it?

I was just so excited to get this thing and now I'm simply annoyed! I really dislike the prospect of having to send it off for repairs, having waited so long for it !!
