After almost a year, the same disaster happened again..😭
After a week of holidays, the reader stopped booting.
This year's story goes like this:
While reading a book, I put the reader in sleep mode and then I connected a solar panel (different this year) for charging.
Maybe the connection plug was not fully inserted, but I didn't notice it then.
After a while I opened the reader and saw the USB dialog again. Only this time it was opening and closing by itself. Some times stayed open so I had to close it myself.
I still believe that it shouldn't open at all since no PC was connected, but hey..
Send it to sleep again and checked the connections.
Reopen the reader and no dialogs anymore (that's why I suspected the plugs).
The reader charged for a while and I started reading again.
After an hour, I went to the file manager to open another book.
Opened at the folder of the current book and I pressed the home button to go to the root of the books.
Nothing happened.
I pressed to go to the parent folder.
Nothing again.
No menu available any more.
No touch response at any tap.
Pressed the power button for some seconds to shutdown.
Power on, the same 2-3 flashes and a white screen as last year.
I have no access to a PC here, so that means maybe no more reading for me. 🤬

This is really dangerous, and I don't want to happen to me again, so I was thinking.
Is there a way to fully disable these automatic checks that unmount the card (or the partition)?
Since I use KSM I don't really need it.
