You'll probably want to flash update your reader afterwards since it is based on an older firmware.

And not to be redundant, but here is the method: https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/PRS...C_sd_rescue.29

Tried and still no luck.. same symptom, when I try to boot from SD with home and menu depressed, the orange blinking light comes on immediately. I hold home and menu for 30 seconds to one minute, then leave the reader alone and the orange light keeps blinking forever, nothing else happens. No reaction on the display, no comms with computer via usb (red charging light comes on with orange light still blinking, but no device whatsoever is recognized by the computer)...

Guess it's dead... already bought a refurbished Kindle for $89, since I could not resolve to pay 180+ for a Kobo...
