My Nook Touch has gotten too old and funky to be worth using, so I want to deregister it and donate it to e-waste.
Unfortunately, one of its funky traits is not being able to tell that I'm connected to the network. It tells me I'm connected and I see the full bars, but then it continually tells me that I can't deregister because I'm not connected.
I don't want to just toss it in the trash -- any ideas how I can get it wiped? Do big magnets still work?
Tried: turning it off. Changing networks. Logging into my B&N account (which just tells me to do it on the Nook.

)
