Thanks @davidfor, I'll look into it.
@PeterT , it was mostly reduction of the other possibilities. Thing is, the reader does not boot up. The led should flash when it boots, and it does not. It stays on for a couple of seconds and than turns off.
First I thought it would be the screen, but then the reader would boot and just would not show anything. And the screen does not have any (visible) damages.
Second I guessed it could be the battery, but even with external power it does not boot up. And the led keeps turning up when USB is connected.
Tirth, the reader does not show up on my PC when connected. It does flash the device manager as it seems to detect something, but it just does not detect anything new (what is strange, but well … )
So the next step was the internal SD card. I put a clean image on it, no help, and did a surface check, no errors. If the card would be corrupted, some errors should turn up on the scan. I did not have a new card laying around, will pick one up at the store, but I don't put my hopes on it.
and that was my trouble shooting. I don't see visual defects on the board, all flat cables are disconnected and re-connected and the reader stays bricked.
Could be I missed something, I'm always open to suggestions.
