First thing to try would be to see if you can boot in recovery and/or fastboot mode:
1. Turn device off (and make sure it's fully charged, but from your post I understand that you did that already – although I'm not completely sure it actually charges if it is off).
2. Press and hold simultaneously Power + Next buttons (for fastboot) or Power + Back buttons (for recovery) until something happen; the LED should be purple (red + blue).
3. Try both and report the results here. In the meantime, you can go and read https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/Boo...roubleshooting (it's actually for the M96, but the firmwares are quite similar). |
Thank you for the reply, I was able to sort things out, I happened across one of the other onyx boox ereader threads on the forum and found info regarding the MFG_Tools2. With the running around through all the forum posts and getting all the software items in place and in the proper order, it turned out to be an all day fix. But in the end I was able to flash it and to my grateful surprise the machine came back to life. Took another day to organize and replace all my ebooks. In the end I can't thank everyone enough for the step by step guides. I never in a million years could have sorted it out myself otherwise. And also a thank you to you for seeing my dilemma and posting helpful links!
