Sony PRS T1 (... to brick or not to brick)

Hi all,

A silent reader on this forum here
I have an old Sony PRS T1 for my daughter which was unrooted as far as I know. No updates or what so ever, just the stock firmware.
The reader just was not able to start anymore. i thought it just ran out of batteries so did not pay any attention to it for a while.
Once I try to charge the battery, it went into some sort of loop. Flickering screen -> opening book with no progress in the progress bar -> flickering screen -> opening book with no progress -> etc
I am able to start the reader with a rescue image, connect the book to my computer and login with putty as root.
I have tried to change firmware versions which were available @ https://projects.mobileread.com/read...lash_packages/
Unfortunately no success
I thought that there might be something wrong with the partitioning so I have followed the link below without success:
https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/PRS...itioning_Guide

Does any of you have a suggestion which might help?

Yes of course, I can buy a new one but if this can be repaired, it would be a better option

Thx for reading and suggestions
