My Sage is bricked. I opened the sleep cover and rather than seeing my book open, I saw the book cover with a series of fine black lines crisscrossing it. I tried turning the Sage off and rebooting with the power button; I tried the manual reset procedure; I charged it overnight and tried the manual reset procedure again several times with no luck. On occasion, the back light will come on or the little white LED will blink. At one point about 1/3 of the screen was overwritten with plain white, but with some lines still in it. There is no sign of physical damage and the Sage was in the Kobo sleep cover on my bed. The only thing I can think is that someone laid on it and broke something internally, but this has happened many times before with no damage. Is there anything I can do or is it a write of?
