Okay last time I checked was 4 days ago when I booted it up for some solitaire and light reading. The Clara BW at the time was at around 90%. I went to sleep and forget about it. Today I took it out for reading just to discover that it is forever stuck in a screensaver screen.

I tried holding and pressing the button for more than 30s. I tried everything from charging, taking the back off to reattach the battery cable. Still, nothing happens.

I bought the new device about 6 months ago. I live in Vietnam so there s 0 chance for a warranty return. Has this happened before and is there hope for a fix?
Thank youu for reading my meltdown!!
