I have a PW3 (with ads). I haven't used it much lately but went to turn it on today and the following happened:

Screen is "your next great read is waiting". Upon turning it on the frontlight will come on for about 10-15 seconds, then turn off for about one second, then back on for 10-15 seconds and it keeps repeating this cycle. The contents of the screen do not change during any of this.

I tried holding the power button for 30 seconds to reset it, but it doesn't help. I also hooked it up via USB to my computer and my computer does not see it.

Any hope of reviving this thing? If not I guess Prime Day is coming up.
