if only i'd quit and gone to bed.. i carried on testing the books i'd uploaded, got a crash, and tried resetting it with the hole next to the power switch.. no manual pdf on this machine to realise it WASNT the reset switch and i've gone and pushed the spring off the power button so it no longer automatically returns, or slides as easily.. thankfully everything else is ok now - after resetting properly on the rear of the reader.. i just need to figure out from those that have taken them apart how easy it may be to fix this power button.. slide its spring back on.
Still gutted, but even more gutted when i thought it wouldn't reset AND i'd broken the power switch.
